Vanity - Vanity - Vanity

Shopping for vanities boils down to one thing and one thing only.  Money. You can spend as much as you want. Custom made with baby seal lined drawers and dipped in gold. The cheaper ones look like crap and the whole baby seal thing turned us off.  So what to do?  DIYNetwork had a idea promo for using a piece of furniture as a vanity. Searching Craigslist while we were doing our other work paid off. We found a china buffet we hoped would work. It would have to be refinished and if it doesn't work we use a real vanity as a back up.  Here is the start of the refinishing of the buffet.  The top has a coat of stripper applied - it didn't come with an orange top.

What would the wood look like under that white paint and varnish? Pretty damn good - FTW!!!
