Switches & Vanity Reface Opinions Needed - My 50's Bathroom Saga
Comments (16)Does it really matter if the 50's BR's didn't have shaker? If you like it, and you're going to the trouble of replacing doors, I would do whichever style you like best. Otherwise, why not just paint your 'real 50's' doors? You're not putting in 50's light switches, and I assume you're not putting in a 50's fan. Doesn't look like a 50's toilet... I actually like the look of the shaker style drawer front in your pic, even though I have shaker doors in my kitchen and went with slab on my smaller top drawers. Problem with the shaker drawer front, is I am not sure if you can put a handle in the middle part, is there enough wood? So, if you wanted to position your new knobs/handles in the middle that might be a deal breaker. I am not sure if this option would work for you, but in our Master BR we did not have enough space to put in a 4 gang box. I positioned 2 2 gangs one above the other. You could do 3 and 2, or 2 and 2 using one double. I put my two programmable switches (and I strongly recommend using a timer switch for your fan) together, and the light switches together. In your case, I would put the three light switches on one gang, and the fan and the outlet on the other....See MoreDIY Cabinet refacing
Comments (5)Susan, You will need to remove the paint from the melamine/formica finish prior to using any refacing contact veneers. A super clean surface is also required for maximum adherence. When you reface, you'll want a new drawer box, not just a drawer front and also replace the drawer guides for best resutls. Quality Doors is what we sell to our customers who choose restyling over replacement. It's work and it takes time. Don't plan on it being a weekend DIY project.

Comments (0)We have two vanities (a 36" single-sink and an 80" double-sink) in our home that are kind of old and worn. I was initially thinking of replacing them both altogether, but then I realized it would be too much work with plumbing update, tile floor moldings, etc. What do you guys think about refacing the vanities? Is it common? I am thinking of refacing the vanities and changing the vanity tops....See MoreHelp with bathrooms. Divide to two bathrooms or do one large bathroom?
Comments (15)I agree with Cpartist"s layout and like moving the closet over as suggested by D M so that bedroom 3 has easier access to the bathroom. Do you have room to have the toilet face the tub and add a linen cabinet next to the toilet? How wide is the tub toilet area?...See Morepatty_cakes
