Decoupage Vanity Table
Today I am joining a talented group of bloggers for a themed furniture post. The theme this month was decoupage and the only rule was that it must be a piece of furniture not an accessory. This one took me a while to decide what to do.
Then BAM, it hit me! DECOUPAGE VANITY TABLE for my daughters room.
The vanity started out solid black. I bought a small sample of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Provence to add some color to it to coordinate her room. I let my daughter decide how she wanted it painted and I let her paint it. The only picture I have of her painting is on my cell phone and it is a little blurry. Just keep in mind we did that part first.
Since this is where my daughter puts her makeup on and gets ready for the day I told her to find some quotes that she would like decoupaged on the vanity. She found some good ones. Here she is writing them on the scrapbook paper I had for them.
If you have never worked with Mod Podge you should! It’s glue and sealer in one. You add it to the back of the paper to stick your paper down.
Then you brush it on top to seal. Instead of waxing my chalk paint like I usually do I brushed the Mod Podge over the top of my entire vanity table. It goes on white but dries clear. I would recommend 2-3 coats.
Here you can see it’s still wet and looks white.
The quotes ranged from cute, funny and inspirational. She even wrote out her favorite Bible verse, Proverbs 31:25.
If you follow me on Instagram, I posted a sneak peak of a funny one.
I really love how this decoupage vanity table turned out…it’s fun and personal! You should also see the Thrift Store lamp I made with decoupage technique for my daughters room.

Sonya, What a great idea to personalize the table with quotes! I really like the colors too. Cute!
Lots of great examples to be inspired by, your daughter did great painting job on her vanity. Good experience and she can appreciate it even more. The quotes and her sayings will be good reminders for her as year goes by and she grows and learns. Love color she painted her vanity, very pretty and bright. Good project for her to learn with. Happy weekend
Oh my goodness Sonya your daughter’s personalized vanity is adorable. I love how she was such a part of the process. Inspiring and fun,!
I always have a stash of scrapbook papers and I mostly buy them from Hobby Lobby. Although I have never order from this site, I found it for sale here. https://www.artfire.com/ext/shop/product_view/susansscrapbookshack/420020/urban_lily_scrapbook_paper_-_urban_cut_-_accents/supplies/paper/scrapbooking/paper
This turned out so cute Sonya! I love that she did it herself! Such a cool idea putting on the inspirational quotes! Tell her great job!
Great idea and so cute.
Love your daughters desk!! Could you share where you got the template for her to write her quotes and Scripture?
She does love it! She enjoys projects that she can help with especially when they are for her room. ~Sonya
Thanks Tami! I’m happy she picked it on her own not with my help! Not many 14 year old do that! ~Sonya
Changing the paint color on the top from black to Provence made it so much brighter for her when she sits there. We both love it!
Thanks Wendi, I love it too!
What a great idea! I love how your daughter really had a hand in painting and picking out the quotes. And Provence is one of my favorite Chalk Paint colors! 🙂

Sonya this is adorable and I love the verse from Proverbs. I may have to steal this idea for my daughters vanity. It really added just the little touch you needed. 🙂
Such a cool project! I love the little sayings and where you placed them! So creative and perfect for a girls make-up table..

This is so cute, Sonya!! What a great way to personalize her vanity, and she is probably so proud of it! XO
Love it! My favorite color 🙂
Sonya, I love how your daughter was also involved in the planning and process of the vanity. That is also one of my favorite bible verses in Proverbs and I have it near my jewelry. I love seeing it every morning and I am sure your daughter will also enjoy all of the sweet positive quotes as she gets ready. Great project.
