  • 00:55 It was a maybe 80 to 100 grit sandpaper and it's just a light sand to get any of like the varnish off or anything that's on the top and then I alternate towels.

  • 01:32 It was a dark green in eggshell. It was a sherwin-williams color if anybody's interested leave me a comment below and I will be sure to get you that exact color and a quick little painting tip. When you are painting make sure that you are going with a grain of the wood of whatever you're painting. So this vanity I did two coats of paint on it. I did one coat let it fully dry and then go with a second coat and make sure I didn't miss anything. I also mask off the shelves just to give it that clean look you'll see when it's all done.

The end result is amazing I see a huge huge difference and it looks so good. If you want to go over with some sort of top coat.
