Hello lovelies,
I bought this 1940s vanity a few weeks ago and wanted to restore it to its original lustre. I have been looking for a fabric vanity for years and was so excited when I discovered this one for sale on Facebook Marketplace. I purchased it for 80 dollars which seems like a reasonable price, in my opinion. When I brought the vanity home, I realized that the fabric was filthy, and I knew I had to clean it or remove it to replace it with new material. I ended up removing the fabric and washing it to remove all of the stains. I then stapled it back on a decorated it with all of my vintage cosmetics.

Wow, that fabric looks as good as new after being washed. Shame it couldn't be reattached via Velcro to make it easier to keep clean 🙄☹️ but it looks amazing though. It's great to see something being sold onto a new home and so lovingly restored and given a new lease of life, instead of being scrapped
Thank you!! I agree I was so happy to give it a new life
Even though it had some blemishes that needed tending it is such a beautiful piece of antique furniture I love it.
So happy you like it
Absolutely beautiful!!! Love how you appreciate the look and value of all things vintage. Thanks for uploading 💕💕💕
Thanks Veronica
I love this style so much more than modern!! Beautiful and feminine
I know right it’s so glam
I hope that this isn't an odd thing to say, but this video was incredibly soothing to watch. It definitely felt like unintentional ASMR! Thanks so much for sharing this video, restoration videos always fascinate me.
Thank you! I felt that way when I was editing it too!
I agree. But if I were doing the project I would be stressed out beyond comprehension!😆
@@maryannlockwood7806 Same here! It takes skill to be able to make a soothing experience out of something stressful.
I agree, it was a very soothing video to me too. Just a beautiful vanity!!
Such a gorgeous vintage piece:) I have always loved anything vintage and antique and good second hand shopping. I love treasure hunting. I’m glad you can remove those stains by just washing them instead of getting new fabric
Thank you! I know I was happy I could save the fabric
Bring back the dressing table into the lady's boudior I say! This was a great video and you clearly put a lot of effort into the restoration. I am lucky enough to have my great grandmother's dressing table to make up at and do my hair. Every woman should have one.
It turned out beautifully. Your cat seems to really appreciate you getting him or her a new resting place. Mine is the same way. I feel like he allows me to use his furniture.
The vintage vanities were so glamorous & gorgeous with all the silver implements,beautiful perfume bottles
You hit the jackpot with this find Laura, it's beautiful! You did a good job in cleaning it and it does look old Hollywood especially with the added photos and beautiful jars!
Ohh it really turned out beautifully, Laura! 👌✨✨✨
I love restoring vintage items, and there's so much satisfaction bringing them back to their original glory! 🙌 Fantastic job!!
I know I was so satisfying now I want to do more
Grate idea with the Velcro
Unfortunately it didn’t work
Great job!! I admire people who tackle grubby jobs. I bet it smelled like a second hand shop before it went in the washer. It's beautiful.💞💞💞 now.
You did a FANTASTIC job restoring the vanity fabric!
Remembering my Grandmother's beautiful vanity & all the beautiful things she kept on it
Well done, you did a great job on the vanity & re used the fabric so nothing wasted xx
Thank you I was happy I could save the fabric
I hope you see this comment...that is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen!!! Thank God you were able to save the fabric...you are brilliant 😘💞
Tears were welling up when watching this. Mama had a very similar dressing table, matching all details shown here to a Tee.
Such a beautiful vanity; great job with the fabric and re-do. The fabric looks like champagne. Super impressed Laura!
Thank you! I know it’s crazy how nice the colour was once I cleaned it
Impressive job on revamping an antique vanity table. Very pretty fabric and table! Nice to see Pinky again.
Yay! Kitty photo bomb at 16:09 ❤
You did a great job- you're more patient than I am lol 😆! It's beautiful 😍❤💕! Enjoy using it for your dressing table. There's so much furniture and fixtures now mass produced, and nothing lasts as well as the furnishings of yesteryear, ever notice that? And the landfills are in no shape to acquire more. Reduce, reuse, recycle ♻️♥! And this is just an example of what can be done, with just a little bit of chic ness, glam, and a touch of Vintage love!! Great post!! 💅 💄👗🥻 cute cat 🐈😻!!
It looks like a beautiful princess gown wrapped around a table love it❤👍
Wow that vanity is beautiful! So glad you were able to keep the fabric. You did a great job!
Was wondering if you could maybe do something on Ginger Rodgers next. Love your videos!
Ever since I purchased my 1945 Colonial Revival Home, that decade of Home decor and elegant fashion, hairstyles, as well as cosmetics 💄 have captivated me, deeply and profoundly. What a glorious Vanity! I fervently hope that you have been thoroughly enjoying your Vanity since this video posted. 🖤🪞
Good job!! It looks so sweet and you recover all its beauty from the '40s!
It is sooo beautiful!!!;thank you for all your videos!!
Thanks so much for watching
That looks wonderful - and your cat likes it too 😼
Haha he totally does
This video was not just beautiful, but peacefull too. I'll watch it again at bed time, because this was very relaxing to watch, Laura. Amazing work, I love the vintage dressing table and accessories.
I think I'd had the entire piece of furniture painted a soft shade or gilded it. The kidney-shape as such is a reminder beautiful enough to bring back fond memories of olden glamour. Add the mirror, and hey presto. But it was wonderful watching the whole make-over of the piece. Thank you.
Well done. You did a brilliant job. Recycling is the way to go!
Thanks so much
What a great find In love with it!!! How cool is that!!! loving the idea mmmmmmmmm what a stunning finish peace of heaven!!🥳🌟🙏🥰
Yay so happy you like it
the vanity looks beautiful
Thanks so much
I’m so so happy that you were able to salvage the original fabric. It was making me so sad when you were taking about replacing it. I was hoping that wasn’t the case. Amazing job
I love the Vanity and you did a terrific job restoring it! I also love how you saved the original fabric. This was a score!! Great video!
I don’t comment much,, I want you to know I never missed one video you post, I think you deserve WAY more subscribers and views because your channel is one of the BEST here on UA-cam!!!! 👑🙏❤️
That fabric really cleaned up. ❤😊
This was amazing to watch!
You did an awesome job restoring your vanity. I was hoping you would wash and keep the original fabric. Love your channel.
Thanks so much!!
So beautiful!! Love it! My sister picked up a vintage,French style vanity from the early 1970s,at Goodwill for $16.00! She ended up giving it to me because she knew how much I love vintage things. I just love the vanity mirror as well!🌹
Beautiful vanity. You did well
Thank you
LOVE!! I finally found one of these. It's still a work in progress (in my mind anyway)😂 I agree, the stool is so uncomfortable! I unscrewed the back. It REALLY helped. My bottom is now able to sit in the center of the seat.
SO much better.
Ehhhh...sì....
Il bello e raffinato è già stato inventato: dobbiamo voltarci indietro per vederlo ❤.
The velcro was such a good idea oh my God🙌!
Beautiful vanity I love your find! It’s lovely 🥰
It looks beautiful. I love your vintage containers.
VERY nice job restoring this beautiful vanity. ❤😍😍😍
You did a fantastic job on the dresser- well done!👏🏻
Gorgeous, and wonderful job 'rehabbing' it!
That is gorgeous! 😍🥰 If I have my own house and able to spread out my stuff easily, I would want my bedroom to look vintage. I love old vintage furniture. Just something about them. I have a 1950s-60s wine cabinet with drawers and there are two sliding doors for the wine or wine glasses... don't know exactly what goes in there. I use it as a clothing storage unit. I would love the Hollywood glam bed set though. For the library room I want to go for later Victorian or early Edwardian study room. 🥰The kitchen... retro industrial all the way. I love the kitchen to be space age, chrome accents. The bathroom I love wood and aqua with gold accents. I know people say gold fixtures are tacky, but for me it's only tacky if you don't use colors found in a reef to match it. I love my bathroom to have that ocean nautical feel to it. The living room would be contemporary all the way, due to the fact I love recliners and they need built in cup holders. Anything but white. 😎👍👍
Nice job, especially with reusing the fabric. I have a chair just like yours and love it. Like yours, the back cushion of my chair would not stay in place. What finally worked to keep the cushion on was a screw-on style round drawer pull. I found a white one with a thistle looking flower painted on. The flower color is similar to the color of the fabric. I enjoy your videos!
Wonderful job Laura! You persevered and got there in the end. It's very pretty, and reminds me of a time when women embraced their femininity. Cheers Linda xox 😃⚘💕💄💄
You did a great job!! Brilliant. I hope you really enjoy it
So happy you liked it thank you
It looks beautiful
Thank you 🙏
I love the Vintage Movie Music you use in your videos.
This vanity was very challenging for you. I’m very impressed with how you persevered through one issue after another. The end result is amazing, so very Vintage Hollwood Chic. Love how you styled it too. The chair doesn’t really complement it…yet. That’s another video though🙂
It's a cute little vanity table. I am going to turn my nightstand into a vanity because I don't have space in my room for a real vanity. The room is a bit small and I have to share some of the space with my husband's stuff.
Wow so lucky the material looks beautiful ❤️.
Iove love it💕💕💕💕💕💕
Thanks so much!!
That fabric looks like a silk or satin. It's beautiful.
Persil is my favorite detergent. It works great and gets stains out. Wonderful job . Maybe the seat could be restored with more luxurious fabric or faux fur.
What a beautiful vanity, you got a deal girl, I love it
My mom had one of the Avon containers the white and gold one it had a candle in it , if I remember correctly. I was in junior high. Pressed flowers would look nice under the glass top also.
Great job!!!
Thank you 🙏
What a spectacular restoration! I love it! I’m so glad that you didn’t replace the fabric. It’s gorgeous!
$60? that’s an amazing price!!!
Thank you! I know right I couldn’t say no
I’ve been dabbling in vintage vanities for many years this is an absolute amazing find for sure! especially with the original fabric which I’m sure you know and you did such a great job restoring it🥰
Love it! What a great job you did
Thanks Marla
L'hai sistemato DIVINAMENTE! 🥰
Great job,Laura!
The time and effort you put into that is amazing! It looks so lovely.🪞
Yes re do the skirt with a beautiful fabric of your own choice
Looks fabulous !!!
When I was a child my mum made me a vanity like yours only mine was palest blue with tiny white polka dots, her concession to my being only 5.
Beautiful job. I love it and hope to fi d something like your vintage vanity. Again, I love it.
wow, you are so patient!
This turned out so nice! I would love to com across one for my dressing room💕
Oh I love the vanity!!! You did a wonderful job restoring it Laura!!!
Absolutely stunning!
Beautiful!!!!!
Bravo! I love it! You did an awesome job!!!
So nice😀
Thanks lovely
Nice job,! It turned out beautiful
Wow! I have always love vintage items, I do collect other stuff as well. May I suggest? Perhaps you can put flower roses in a vintage glass clear vase to add touch for your dressing table. Its just my suggestion. Haha. Thank you. Jeffery. From: Singapore.☺☺
What a great find ⭐💖👈💗🤗
This is stunning!!
So beautiful
It looks so beautiful and you did a great job! That is my dream vanity. I see these all the time that is beyond repair for me because I can't touch it due to they always end up smelling like cigarettes or they have mold on them. My asthma can't handle it. When it comes to restoring I like doing it myself. My cousin brought a new vanity that looks kinda like yours in this video, it's made to have that old fashion look but it didn't last long at all. Things back then was built to last. These days not so much. I have a vanity dresser from the 1950s era I want to restore that I am currently using. Mostly it just needs a new mirror.
so so so nice! it looks lovely!
It looks wonderful 😍
My favorite!!!!
Love 💕 This! I am in the process of renovating my glam room and I have a similar vanity like this! Catch up with you later darling have to go edit another video Pink Champagne Kisses 💋💋💋💋💋🍾🥂
PS: do a room tour
Thank you! I did a hoarder room tour last week 💕💕
Great work thank you very much
I had a green boudoir chair exactly like that...probably sold in my shop..kicking myself! I have my Mom in Laws yellow one stored....
I love it!! You did a very good job!
Laura if you clean it with baking soda and vinegar baking soda and vinegar are very 👍 good cleaners good you got it clean I do suggest that you use a piece of plastic while you're using it on the top of it at least it's very Shabby Chic and it's beautiful
I've had excellent results with Zote soap and Fels Naptha soap for spot stain removal.
I would Dye the Fabric in the wash!
Starch and Iron it!
I love how you salvaged it, brilliant job.
I love it! Good job
