Painting Bathroom Vanity With Chalk Paint

Chalk paint is the best way to give your bathroom vanity a fresh new look without having to replace it. It's easy to use, affordable, and can be customized to any color you want. Plus, it's a great way to update the look of your bathroom without having to do a full remodel.

Here's what you'll need to get started:

Chalk paint
Paintbrush or roller
Primer (optional)
Sandpaper
Tack cloth
Polyurethane

Once you have your supplies, you're ready to get started.

1. Clean the vanity

The first step is to clean the vanity to remove any dirt or debris. Use a damp cloth or sponge and dish soap to wipe down the surface.

2. Sand the vanity

If the vanity is already painted, you'll need to sand it to remove the old paint. Use a medium-grit sandpaper and sand in the direction of the wood grain. Be sure to sand all of the surfaces that you want to paint.

3. Prime the vanity (optional)

If you're painting a vanity that's made of a porous material, like wood, it's a good idea to prime it first. Primer will help to seal the surface and prevent the paint from absorbing into the wood. Apply a thin coat of primer to the vanity and let it dry before painting.

4. Paint the vanity

Now it's time to paint the vanity! Use a paintbrush or roller to apply thin, even coats of chalk paint. Be sure to let each coat dry completely before applying the next one. You may need to apply two or three coats of paint to get the desired coverage.

5. Distress the vanity (optional)

If you want to give your vanity a distressed look, you can sand it lightly once the paint is dry. This will create a worn and aged look. Be sure to dust off the vanity after sanding to remove any dust.

6. Protect the vanity

Once you're happy with the look of the vanity, it's time to protect it. Apply a thin coat of polyurethane to the vanity and let it dry completely. This will help to protect the paint from scratches and wear.

That's it! You've now successfully painted your bathroom vanity with chalk paint. Enjoy your new look!
