Hello all. With our now well known affinity for transforming furniture (in the bathroom here, and the living room here and here) you won't be the least surprised that we went back to this well.
We had purchased another kitchen cabinet that was intended to be the vanity for the small, third bathroom. That entailed a few modifications. First we had to put in something to turn the working drawer into a false one because the sink would make it impossible to house a drawer.
Then we needed to trim several inches off the depth to convert it from a standard kitchen cabinet size to a standard bathroom size. This was old hat to us by now. Find the line, use a straight edge (in this case a long clamp) and cut.
Then we attached a simple back of pegboard we had handy, leaving open a gap big enough to accommodate the drain pipe and water supply lines. So far, so good.
Our decision to make this bathroom into our laundry room made our work on this cabinet moot. There is sat in the garage until we decided its fate. We opted to make it an additional piece for the kitchen. Even with all the cabinet space and the island in there, we thought this might make a nice buffet. We replaced the back with some better plywood and painted it to match the rest of the kitchen.
Then we decided reintroduce a drawer to make the piece more useful. The dimensions and process were pretty simple. Make a box and put a bottom on it.
We added drawer slides, hardware, and a butcher block top to complete the look. You'd hardly be able to tell is wasn't conceived alongside the rest of the kitchen because it blends in so well.
Until next time.
