Depth of vanity tower. Need your advice .
Comments (69)I got the idea for using the hinge down drawer in center like in the kitchen because it was an option my cabinet maker brought up and I passed it along to you. Thats when I knew he knew his craft. I know exactly what you are going through with the GC saying its only in kitchen and making your feel like any change is going to be more expensive but more an inconvenience. I had the help of a designer and still my plummer had to move pipes because I walked away and in the shower I wanted the line up to be the shower handle top because used more, then the body spray handle and at bottom the handheld because used less and he had it the other way around and had to spend a morning fixing it . After his complaining it was two hours it took him and not all day the way he made it sound. I learned through this process to speak up along the way as soon as possible and suck up the attitude that might result. I agree with your decision to make them all 8 in drawers , instead of 10 in on the outside panels , less the cab guy will screw up trying to match with other drawers. It shouldn't cost more to make your change because you haven't started. The hardware you mentioned and hinges save you some money which can go towards the inconvenience of what they think it is. I got the same attitude from my electrician who never heard of putting an outlet in the drawer. He worked for the GC and initially he said he can do anything I want. Seemed energetic and easy to please. The outlet was in the drawer on the initial drawings but when it can time to install he was wanting to do it his way and I wanted the outlet cover flush and seen in back of drawer the way we do here on this site. He was going to put it on the wall behind the drawer and use extension or something two stepped. Thanks to this site I knew it could be done and what to ask for. He made an excuse the there is no room behind drawer for the outlet box , however,this was planned for with cabinet guy who built his drawer less deep for people who do this, making it sound like its requested a lot. I think he learned on the job from me.LOL. The day he came to do his electrical finish work his arm was in a sling from surgery and he had his employee there doing a lot of the work we discussed. Get strong and tell them how you want it. Each day is a new day. This is a custom job , they should expect it....See MoreWhat size are your drawers?
Comments (6)When I remodeled my master bath, I had a new vanity built. I raised the vanity to 36 inches and really like the higher height. I have the same set up...Stacked drawers in the center of the 2-sink vanity, and double doors under each sink. In the stacked drawer center section, the outside of the drawers measures 22 inches. The inside of each drawer measures 18 inches. They are of 2 different depths. The top 2 drawers are 3.5 inches deep, which is great for small things. The bottom 2 drawers are about 5.5 inches deep. I really do like this configuration. For the first time, everything is so easy to find in the master bath. Big bottles, etc. I keep in the large section under the sinks. I had some shelves put in at varying height and everything is plainly visible, easy to retrieve. I'm such a happy user!...See MoreNeed advice with installation and plumbing Wyndham 24" amare vanity
Comments (2)I just installed an IKEA vanity and had to alter the drawers a bit to accommodate drain lines....See MoreHandle placement on drawers of bathroom vanity
Comments (0)I'm deciding where to place the drawer handles on my bathroom vanity. Lots of pictures show handles centered on the face of the drawer (even with different size drawer). Guess that is "standard". My drawers are like the picture below: the top one is smaller than two equal sized smaller ones below. I like the layout in this image: The top drawer pulls are centered while the bottom pulls are raised off-center, though for all three drawers the measurement from the drawer's top edge to the handlebar is equal. How does this look to you? Does it seems balanced? Proportional? Pleasing to the eye? Does anyone have this layout and loves it? Thanks!...See MoreElaine Doremus Resumes Written
