Bathroom Vanity Finished
Things happen slower when you do them yourself. Over a year ago I posted about our bathroom vanity that I had just built. I did a walnut base and a concrete countertop. The only thing that was left to do was the drawers. It sat that way for over a year, but it’s finally finished. I was able to do all the drawer fronts out of one continuous piece of wood so that the grain pattern follows all the way across. It’s those little details that make me really like it the most. I opted to use no handles, but instead beveled the bottom edge of the drawer for a comfortable grip. I think it turned out pretty nice. It’s funny because I really love all the walnut in the bathroom, and very little of it was planned. The walnut behind the toilet was because we didn’t have enough wall space for the wall hung tank in the wall, and the walnut above the mirror is because they had to cut the mirror short to get it past the sink when installing it. In hindsight, I wouldn’t have done it any different.

i love your bathroom, it looks amazing! you did some beautiful work.
I would love to see the tub and shower on the other side. I don’t think I have seen the finished product of your unique tub. Did you post about that and I missed it?
I love what you did with the bathroom! The concrete counter top is my favorite part.
Erin, You can see some pics here –> http://www.grassrootsmodern.com/2007/03/07/more-tiles-and-more-walls/
I will post more soon…
Maya, Thanks, I really like the countertop too. I think it turned out good.
Creedler, this is looking sweet!
Incredible. The before and after photos are absolutely amazing.
Looks great. The 2-button toilet is the best – great clean look with the tankless (at least not visible tank) toilet.
Can’t wait to peruse your blog. I linked to this vanity entry through flickr via apartmenttherapy.
That vanity is killer and very similar to my arrangement. Instead of concrete I used a
2 3/4″ slab of Indiana limestone. I have only the back wall and a wall on the right for support so I reinforced a a pony wall in the back to take a couple of custom L-brackets from shortrunpro.com. This should create a somewhat floating effect. How did you support your concrete top.
I have the same basin as you but because I have a pony wall, I isntalled a wall-mounted faucet (we also wanted a recessed medicine cabinet).
Man, I’d love to see some simple plans for those drawers. I was planning on leaving my vanity just a slab but those drawers are smooth.
Nice work!
