Make a Bathroom Vanity from an Old Dresser

RE: Make a Bathroom Vanity from an Old Dresser Post By Elaine (Guest Post) (10/17/2007) Sorry, I am so late in getting back to this. My son actually cut out the drawer in the back to fit the plumbing ( the right one) but the front of the drawer was still usable so he put a divider there and I store my makeup in the small space to the front. Also, I did use a polyurethane varnish on it. Make sure it is a water based varnish or it will yellow.

This is absolutely gorgeous! Great job!!! RE: Make a Bathroom Vanity from an Old Dresser Post by Marge W. (125) | (09/12/2007) Profile | Blog! | Contact Very attractive, you did a nice job. In fact my bathroom is too small for a large sized vanity. I also wondered how you were able to do the plumbing job? The only way that I think that this could be done would be to disassemble three of the drawers by removing the actual drawers so the vanity would have a false front and by using wood screws so no one would try and open the drawers.

RE: Make a Bathroom Vanity from an Old Dresser Post by Lisingreece (38) | (08/30/2007) Profile | Contact Several years ago a friend of mine also did this with a beautiful old walnut dresser and it looked great in her remodeled bathroom. I like yours better because it is light and suits a bathroom. It is really lovely and you did a wonderful job. Did it take a long time to do?? Was the dresser expensive? How on earth did you do the plumbing around the drawers?

RE: Make a Bathroom Vanity from an Old Dresser Post by cookwie (880) | (08/29/2007) Profile | Contact So pretty!! Can you cover it with some kind of a water proofing varnish? It's too pretty to be splashed upon. And even if you don't splash, betcha someone else will. RE: Make a Bathroom Vanity from an Old Dresser Post By (Guest Post) (08/29/2007) Wow! That is really nice, you did a great job! You must be handy and crafty, I would have never thought of that. Good idea to recycle and save money on a sink cabinet. RE: Make a Bathroom Vanity from an Old Dresser Post By (Guest Post) (08/29/2007) Fancy! Very pretty!
