Hello all. When we removed the 36-inch vanity from the second bathroom it was still in pretty good shape. After all it was less than 20 years old and even manufacturer's grade is solid. What could we do with such a piece that might fit into our mostly empty house? Every modern house needs a TV stand, right?
The first thing we did was to supplement the back. After all the existing one had holes cut out to fit around the sink drain and water supply lines.
Next we repurposed some of the bead board that we decided not to use on the bathroom walls. They give a nice look to the sides and make everything flush (the cabinet face always extends a bit wider than the side of the cabinet).
Here's how things looked at this stage. The clamps in the corners are to hold in place some scrap pieces we glued onto the little triangular braces that come with the cabinet. We planed to drive screws up through them to secure the top and the spacers would help by filling the gap.
Speaking of the top, we bought a small butcher block piece to keep in the theme of the kitchen.
We trimmed it a bit to fit in the same way as the kitchen tops and clamped it as we locked the top in place.
Now it's primed and ready for painting. We have a color picked, but how would you finish it?
Until next time.
