However, if you really want to have a modern looking bath vanity and you have the creativity and patience to do DIY projects, then it’s about time to dust off your old cabinet or dresser and make it your own vanity. Below are simple steps that you could follow to achieve a modern looking bath vanity made from your old cabinet or dresser.
Making antique dressers or cabinets into modern bathroom vanities, whether a double sink or single vessel, requires few and easy alterations. The materials you would be needing for this project includes a cabinet or dresser, saw, sink fixtures, pencil, plumbing fixtures, screws, sealant and paint, L-brackets, anchors, and drill. To get things started, measure the size of your cabinet in order to know the size and type of sink that you will use. If you would like to save more money, you could still use your old bathroom sink. However, the only drawback with this option is that you would still have to remove the sink from its connections which means extra work for you, so it would be more preferable if you buy a new one as you could also use it for the years to come.
