I love the look of the brown paper with the black and may incorporate that in the credenza redo that is in my future. One thing I would have done different on the vanity is I would have added a one piece top so that it would be more useful for a working desk. I would be concerned about the small piece of glass not being shifted by my cats or someone setting something on it and the original “shelf would still be there. Just my thoughts.

I love the bit about painting in the kitchen. I can relate on so many levels. Super cool find & it is good to see your progress, even your decicion to change colors. It happens. It is so nice to see that others are interested in repurposing old furnishings and by the amount of comments you have we are not alone.

I love this idea. I was wondering how I might like to redo my hutch and cabinet and now I know.. Going to do Black paint and brown bag technique. I think it will look amazing with my already black table and earth-tone accessories. I hope it turns out, keep positive thoughts… Thanks Gail.

Wow! I have never done decoupage before and I have been thinking of trying it on some really old dressers I have. I could not figure out what to do but after looking at some of the pictures that you have posted I think I am going to try the brown bag technique. I hope mine will look even half as good as yours! Wish me luck!

I’m glad I’m not the only one who sometimes has to paint pieces a couple of times before I get it right. The black definitely looks the best with the brown bag treatment.
