Building Wood Sink Vanity

Now that the floor is complete in the bathroom we have started working on the actual sink unit. It will look a little different than the mockup that we made a couple weeks ago. The first thing that you see is that the front has the space for the three drawers. The two side drawers will be false and the center one will be true.

You can also see that the side has an additional piece that fits behind the back leg. This is to make sure that the unit will butt up flush up against the wall with the new baseboard. There is still some trimming that will need to take place to allow the sinks to drop in but it is getting closer.

Bathroom Vanity Mockup

On Monday afternoon we worked on the design for a new bathroom vanity. We were not sure if we would be able to get two sinks into the unit and still keep it small for the bathroom. Eventually it will be pushed in a little further so that it is up against the wall. There are some little things that we are going to change when we make the real one but at least we know that it will work in the space. The top will eventually be granite and the base will be paint grade (poplar). The front looks a little blank right now but there will eventually be three drawers on this face.

 

Once it is slid against the walls we will also have to relocate some of the outlets and drains.

Here is a picture of the other side of the bath showing the louvered doors sitting in place over the closet.
