DIM BATHROOM VANITY


All of the bathrooms in our sweet little foreclosure are in desperate need of updating. So, with that in mind we started by remodeling our guest bathroom. We didn't want to put too much money into this space since it is the smallest bathroom in the house. Especially because the master bath is huge and is awaiting a total gut this summer. So with our pockets and priorities set, we went after this project on a shoestring budget. 

We decided to keep the shower and toilet but to remove the very dated sink. By painting the room white and putting down gray tile it was already feeling like a breath of fresh air. After that phase my next beast to tackle was the sink. I wanted to spend little if no money on building the base and luckily got away without spending much. Using some leftover bamboo wood and barn beams I was able to put this little number together. Another random piece sitting in the garage just waiting to be used was the stainless steel sink bowl. What we did have to purchase was the faucet and backsplash. In the end the total sink cost us only about $115. Suck on that Restoration Hardware who wanted us to spend $1200. In the end we topped off the bathroom by installing cedar wood planks. The room is so warm and inviting not only do you want to take a bubble bath, but rolling out a sleeping bag wouldn't be so bad either.
