Bathroom Vanity Renovation

I recently moved into a new apartment; it's a rental, but I've decided to put a little work into making it more the type of place I'd choose to live instead of just living with other people's tastes and strange decorating decisions.

Bathroon - Before


My initial plan was to paint the walls Benjamin Moore's "Deep Silver" then paint the mirror frame and vanity their "Wrought Iron". The darker colour looked too dark for the space so I gave the frame and top panel on the vanity a distressed gilded finish to lighten up the area and add a some of texture. Below are some process shots.

I also switched out the handles. The old ones would have worked well enough, but these tie in the gilding.

Next tasks - putting up shelves, a second medicine cabinet and hanging art.
