  • We're sharing how we turned a vintage dresser into a bathroom vanity with an undermount sink. We found an old dresser on FB Marketplace and transformed it into the bathroom vanity for the recent bathroom makeover we did.
    You can see more details in this blog post:

    Only thing I would have done was stained the new pine boards to look like they were meant to be that original shape.

    • @TheMerrythought
      @TheMerrythought  4 місяці тому

      Yes, I do think that would give it a nice finished look!

    Beautiful!! Do you like having just drawers instead of hinged doors for your vanity?

    • @TheMerrythought
      @TheMerrythought  Рік тому +5

      Sorry for the delayed response! This vanity is in my parents bathroom and they said they like the drawers just fine. They said there were a couple items that they had to relocate because they were too tall for the drawers . But they said it wasn't a big deal and haven't missed having doors.

    What grit sandpaper did he use.

    • @TheMerrythought
      @TheMerrythought  Рік тому

      We used a few different ones. For the bigger rough spots, we used 60. For pretty much everything else, we used 120. For the dresser top, after the stain/finish was on, before we put on the last coat of finish, we used 220.

      We did not cut the legs at all, it was the right height for what we wanted.
