Unless Deedee was planning on keeping a tiny pet mermaid in her bathroom, that old vanity had to go. A tiny pet mermaid is the only explanation I have for those built-in seats inside the shell-shaped sink, nothing else makes sense. Isn’t the new countertop fabulicious? It’s just plain old lumber, distressed and stained! And don’t feel bad for the baby mermaid; she has a tiny new sailboat to float around in now. Check out the whole story on Deedee’s blog Clover House.

NICE re-do, and no more tiny mermaids for you!
