Looking for a Bathroom Vanity Made Out of a Vintage Dresser?
Comments (8)I agree -- make it yourself. here's what I would do. Scour second-hand shops to find a dresser or sideboard you like (you can find antique pieces for less expensive than in "antique" shops). Decide where on the top you want the sink to go. Cut away any interior shelves or drawers that would prevent the sink and plumbing from fitting. You could just remove some drawer boxes and refasten the drawer fronts to the face of the dresser. Buy your sink. Then call the plumber. They are used to cutting out counters to fit a sink and this is no different. Should save you lots of money and is a fairly simple DIY project. Good luck!...See MoreWhat are some ideas about what a manly bathroom should look like?
Comments (11)So sorry that it's taken me a long time to reply, we've been on spring break and every day/night at least one of my children has had a group of friends over-- a lot for me to keep up with. I love these ideas! The celestial print, the vintage photographs, the hooks for towels, everything. Thank you so much. And yes, no frogs (although I truly think they would love that), but I am leaning towards a lone star in the room somewhere, after all, we're in Texas. I'm also leaning toward burgundy as the main color, but still haven't reconciled that with my dark, golden oak floors. Today I was in a thrift shop and found a nicely framed van gogh print, the image, which had brilliant, deep blues and yellows (this wasn't Starry Night but a cafe' scene) prompted me to consider those colors as well (plus we're Notre Dame fans so we get a lot of mileage out of those two colors). In any case, your comments caused a lightbulb to go off in my head. Thank you! Please keep your ideas coming. I need all of the help I can get! Thank you so very much....See MoreMaster bathroom help-crosspost from bathroom forum
Comments (19)olychick, thank you for taking a look. :) I'm relieved to hear you think a white shower pan is best. I am heading out now to find porcelain marble look tiles for the shower walls to pick up the gray as you suggested. I want a shiny finish to the walls. Tell me if you think that's a misstep. I am avoiding marble as I have a marble topped vanity now that is pock marked with etchings. As far as seeing myself in the vanity, yes, I think I will be able to do so. I was planning on a black framed mirror spanning the vanity. My current vanity is 32 1/4" high (as will be the new vanity) and when seated on my vanity stool my reflection is seen up to my chest. The only issue currently is that my knees are pressed against drawers. I failed to mention that I was thinking of using absolute black granite for the vanity top for two reasons: one being cost and the other being to avoid etching. Will doing so deviate too much from my inspiration? Lastly, I had the idea of applying pieces of beveled mirror framed by black molding floor to ceiling along the back wall and continuing behind the toilet (similar to this only floor to ceiling with the exception of base molding & crown): [Traditional Bathroom[(https://www.houzz.com/photos/traditional-bathroom-ideas-phbr1-bp~t_712~s_2107) by Northbrook Architects & Building Designers Michael A.

Comments (6)Lovely! I like the classic white tile and porcelain and how you used furniture pieces in the bathroom. I love that the storage at the end of the tub has pull-outs that can be reached from the toilet. Your custom sink and backsplash and counter are unique and beautiful. Yours may be the first bathroom sink I have seen in which a small or medium dog could be washed! That is a good thing! I showed your pictures to my DH because I am thinking of classic tiled walls with a chair rail for when we redo our bath in a couple of years. He liked it! I was expecting him to say, "too old fashioned." He did not, he said it looked nice. From him, nice is a compliment. He even liked your rows of listello. I was just at the Tile Shop's site the other day looking at the Hampton tiles because someone was selling some on Craigslist. I am hoping to do as you did and get what I can cheaper there, and fill in the rest from the store. I can see that you worked very hard to secure all of your materials - and then cut the floor tiles to size and culled the Hampton tiles, too! You succeeded very well in getting the look you wanted while saving money along the way. Congratulations, and thank you for the pictures and great detail and supply list....See MoreLyndee Lee
