That means, I create a completely new piece out of second-hand furniture. You can read about my last thrift flip here, where I transformed an old dresser into a new, modern one.<\/p>\n<p>Today, we&#8217;re turning an old changing table into a chic, modern vanity that fits perfectly in our Victorian-inspired bathroom! We found the vintage dresser on Facebook Marketplace and picked it up by car. I think it cost around 40 euros. Here you can see how the cute piece looked before:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-59559\" src=\"https:\/\/heylilahey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/IMG_1152.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"320\" height=\"568\"><\/p>\n<p><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-59560\" src=\"https:\/\/heylilahey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/kommode.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/heylilahey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/kommode.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/heylilahey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/kommode-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/heylilahey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/kommode-1000x563.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/heylilahey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/kommode-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/heylilahey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/kommode-320x180.jpg 320w, https:\/\/heylilahey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/kommode-560x315.jpg 560w, https:\/\/heylilahey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/kommode-1160x653.jpg 1160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In the first step, we thought about what exactly we wanted to change about the dresser.

To do this, we very carefully taped off the rattan insert on the doors so that no paint gets on the woven pattern. I think the dresser needed 3 coats of paint. We unfortunately didn&#8217;t use a primer, we forgot to, but I would recommend it to anyone! In addition, we applied a clear coat on the worktop, so that the chest of drawers is water resistant.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-59565\" src=\"https:\/\/heylilahey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/waschtisch-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/heylilahey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/waschtisch-6.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/heylilahey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/waschtisch-6-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/heylilahey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/waschtisch-6-1000x563.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/heylilahey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/waschtisch-6-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/heylilahey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/waschtisch-6-320x180.jpg 320w, https:\/\/heylilahey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/waschtisch-6-560x315.jpg 560w, https:\/\/heylilahey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/waschtisch-6-1160x653.jpg 1160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>To convert the dresser into a vanity, we ordered a sink and cut out holes on the back and countertop for the pipes.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-59563\" src=\"https:\/\/heylilahey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/waschtisch-8.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/heylilahey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/waschtisch-8.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/heylilahey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/waschtisch-8-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/heylilahey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/waschtisch-8-1000x563.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/heylilahey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/waschtisch-8-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/heylilahey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/waschtisch-8-320x180.jpg 320w, https:\/\/heylilahey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/waschtisch-8-560x315.jpg 560w, https:\/\/heylilahey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/waschtisch-8-1160x653.jpg 1160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-59564\" src=\"https:\/\/heylilahey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/waschtisch-7.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/heylilahey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/waschtisch-7.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/heylilahey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/waschtisch-7-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/heylilahey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/waschtisch-7-1000x563.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/heylilahey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/waschtisch-7-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/heylilahey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/waschtisch-7-320x180.jpg 320w, https:\/\/heylilahey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/waschtisch-7-560x315.jpg 560w, https:\/\/heylilahey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/waschtisch-7-1160x653.jpg 1160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-59561\" src=\"https:\/\/heylilahey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/waschtisch-10.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/heylilahey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/waschtisch-10.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/heylilahey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/waschtisch-10-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/heylilahey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/waschtisch-10-1000x563.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/heylilahey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/waschtisch-10-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/heylilahey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/waschtisch-10-320x180.jpg 320w, https:\/\/heylilahey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/waschtisch-10-560x315.jpg 560w, https:\/\/heylilahey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/waschtisch-10-1160x653.jpg 1160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We also added the new handles and ordered a brushed brass faucet.
