Hello all. It's been a little while since we caught you up on our efforts to finish the first bathroom we tackled. Well nature abhors a vacuum and so does a bathroom, apparently. In an already small room we had this little space beyond the shower that we wanted to maximize.
As with some of our other "new" furniture, we repurposed some old cabinets. This time we breathed new life into the unit that used to be above the refrigerator in the kitchen (for nostalgia you can see it in the third picture of this post).
After removing the doors and hardware we set the table saw to bisect the cabinet and ran all four sides through.
We added a piece of 1/2-inch plywood to fashion a new bottom of our new half-cabinets.
Why use only half the old cabinet? From the picture above on the size of the niche you could see the sloped ceiling meant we had some serious height constraints. Half of the old cabinet is all we'd be able to fit atop a 15-inch base cabinet that we bought from Home Depot.
We had the kind help of someone to turn leftover old oak flooring we had from our previous house renovation work into a beautiful countertop that we sealed with a clear finish.
With everything painted to match the walls we could add the pieces.
And here's the final assembly.
Until next time.
