Budget Bathroom Renovation Master Vanity Save Money & Style

shop fabrication

A period of fabrication at the shop…

A diversion from the hard decisions of the kitchen, what to do with the master vanity?

Not a lot of money in the budget, but we want something nice for the bathroom vanity.  MCKen says…
Let us use a nice gray plastic laminate interior for the box over a 7/16″ OSB  exterior grade substrate.  Silicone all inside corners for water resistance and for a nice clean look on the interior.  Produce the 72″ unit as all in one box reducing material costs and use of a face frame for structure.  Three large drawers up the middle and 2 large pair, full height doors left and right.   Raised panel maple doors with a high gloss black finish completes this unit.
Custom fabricated and installed…estimate $600.
Add a double bowl granite top, installed…estimate $600.

Vanity and Matching Mirror Frame

The vanity is a 3 drawer, 2 full height pair door unit.   Shown here without decorative hardware; (we can not decide what we want quite yet).   The mirror frame was produced from colonial casing that was also used throughout the remodel.
The mirror will be back loaded and secured into the frame and the wood that you see in the photo are the double split angle hangers that hold the whole assembly to the wall.  A photo with the top, sink and hardware is coming.
