I really want to say thank you for showing your mistakes. You could have just as easily edited it out and said it was perfect the first time, but you showed what really happened and showed how you overcame and fixed it. I love your channel for that, how real you are with your viewers!!
A new series is born on this channel! I'm building a tiny apartment! Lots of furniture projects coming in the next weeks :) The long-awaited ukulele bass is almost ready so stick around for next sunday's video!
Hey great video! I tried to see in the comments if it was mentioned but did not find it. You don’t need to add trim around along the wall. Use some white caulk. Those inconsistencies completely disappear and you retain that amazing clean look! That is very nice!!
There's something about how precisely you make things and the design language you use that I just feel super inspired by watching your videos. Can't wait for the next instalment in your series!
It is a worthy vlog showing those mistake that will guide other viewer who will DIY work in their homes and for those beginner as well. Thanks for sharing your passion.👍👍👍😀
i really like that you show your mistakes and how you fixed them, vanity looks great

Nice work. I really recommend to change the hanging system for the vanity to the wall as eventually the system you used can fail. You can use the hanging hardware that companies such as bloom, Indaux or Häfele had developed. Let me know what you think.
Vanities can be a pain in the ace. I'm *re*building one today, so basically just copying the old one because the particle-board sides are swelled and damaged from water over the years. All I gotta' do is account for the tile width that I added underneath it, and maybe get a better fit into the wall tile that it came out of. Oh and good luck getting those drawer slides to work, I've never had great luck with them. I think john heinz did a vid on them tho
Hi.. here some input maybe useful to you 1. if you work with high humidity environtment, you should consider a HPL or PVC veneer for your project rather than wood veneer 2. use flexible wide metal scrapper to apply glue on vast surface, it works much faster and thiner 3. build some jig from scrap material to put rail on the inside, so it can line up properly looking forward for your next video...
You are absolutely amazing. What can't you do? Honestly, my boyfriend and I are watching all of these videos together and are just in awe of you. He's pretty smart when it comes to building furniture, and while watching your videos, there are SO many moments where he pauses just to say "OMG that's so clever". Love love love your work!
also like what you did there, especially the handles, a simple and beautiful look. i also like that its mounted to the wall and not standing on the ground.
I love your talent. You just say let's do this and that and that and then demonstrate it and then there is the perfect result. I consider myself not entirely incompetent as regards amateur projects and crafting but I'd never achieve your competence. I am not feeling incompetent or frustrated but... hats off, lady!
You inspired me to work with black mdf and I also build a tiny living space with black mdf and with some yellow details. I can't wait to get some new inspiration from you with the new project
Hello, I see your chanel and I can say that I am a big fan now, I do Diy's all the time and I have done many of my furniture and decorations in my house watching tutorials, I just want to thank you because you inspire us all to do things and learn more of c arpentry, plumbing and renovations and be more self-sufficient at home. I will continue to see you definitely, I send you a hug and a kiss on the cheek from my beloved Mexico, keep it up
Great job! I’m glad you have the courage to show were you made a mistake or two and go and improve and correct. Most people wouldn’t even try for fear to mistakes. As for the glue: a shoe-maker told me once that contact cement can be diluted down with the same solvent the glue is based on (tolueno in Spanish). I couldn’t try it myself because it is a controlled substance in Argentina, but maybe you can try it. Greetings and my best!
Man, I wish I had your skills! So gifted. My husband is pretty good with general woodworking, but I'd love to have cabinetry-making skills like you! Well done.
As someone who lives in a very tiny studio apartment, I've been looking into how to build some of the things I'd like to replace to be more efficient in the space. Your videos have been so incredibly helpful! I've watched and rewatched them all so many times. Thank you for documenting your builds!
So far it looks like you are on the way to a great looking place.Keep up the great job. Bi the way that is construction i rarely works out and you have to adapt as you go . Walls and floors are never true.
I am impressed of your work you are a marvel of being human, creative, hardworking, and above all very dedicated, your personality is incredible I congratulate you enormously every video that I see motivates me to realize some idea that you are EXTRAORDINARY! CONGRATULATIONS I greet you from the city Orizaba in MEXICO
Another awesome build! Even though you had to tweak it here and there, you made a strong and proper vanity that I'm sure they will enjoy for years! love the choice of the basin of this sink also. Great choices made in this build.
The joys of renovation :D everything gives you a headache , and you want to burn the house down every ten minutes, but when you are done you are prouder than ever to live there with everything you have done, nothing feels more like home than this! I'm super excited for the upcoming videos !!!!! I'm gonna start renovating my house very soon and ALSO i will make myself a new wood shop to start building guitars again ! So your videos gives me a lot of motivation !!! Keep up the good work !
Nicely done. I really like how you designed the hand pulls, very clean and beautiful. I think I may incorporate something similar for my studio storage units. Great video.
The materials you used are gonna hold up to the moisture of the bathroom. I saw a similar Cabinet at the bathroom showroom for about $650-$850 USD And that is without the sink which adds only another $100 to $200 USD With your skills and shop you saved a ton of money!
Hello! I am currently building a dressing for my room and was looking for a way to make hidden handles. I am glad your video came into me for the way you did yours 🤗 thank you for this, very nice vanity well done! Have a nice day
Great build and good technique for getting the straight edge on the veneer. You can use a bit of caulk or silicone to hide the edge against the wall. You could also used packers near the wall fixings so the unit isn't pulled out of shape when following the walls contours, but then that might mean more caulking. Well done! :)
Wow! MDF in the bathroom - brave! Even with varnish or paint I wouldn't touch MDF. But it was nice to see you using just a track saw to cut the MDF and no table saw was used, as many people only have minimal tools to use for DIYs. Good video!
I did come to your channel through the weird UA-cam algorithm and I'm so happy. We have a bathroom who was designed for my grandfather in his wheelchair. As he passed away the bathroom was unused and now belongs to a rent out room for students. But with the unusual measurements you don't find any furniture for it. My mother insisted I should make something but this is a whole different league to what I did till now. So now thanks to you I at least get the idea how to do that and what I have to watch out for and get this off my back. Love your channel and envy you about all your equipment!
Looks very nice, super using those drawer runners. about that, most of the hardware companies they have also a CAD database and online links with mounting and assembly instructions and specs and you can download pdf files or even some CAD formats that you can import and use in a 3D. Some companies mark their product and some of them have also a serial # or part #. If they do not have, the supplier or reseller can provide this information and you can search the product on the company's website, there you will find the necessary information. Keep up the good work, cheers!
Just a quick tip when test fitting domino's. Have 4-6 spare domino's that you have sanded down lightly. This makes them easier to remove when test fitting. I mark them with a black marker so I don't use them on project. Keep up the great work and video's!
Muchísimas gracias por dedicar tu tiempo a enseñarnos tantos, desde España te doy las gracias. Eres una gran profesional. Podrías hacer algún día un vídeo sobre las herramientas eléctricas que tienes y dónde comprar? Un saludo!!!
If you use hidden drawer slides from Hettich you get really good instructions - you can also by the komplement slides from IKEA they are licensed by Hettich
Nice job - looks good. See if Bosch has a router adapter to go with your saw track like Festool. It works great for cutting rabbets/dados/grooves. You may find it better than multiple passes on the table saw. I have one for my Festool track and I use it A LOT - makes life easier especially if working on large pieces of sheet goods. Look forward to the next video and brief views of Porto. Scott
This channel is sick , you get into another lvl , i started watching you since the bed attached into the wall, but this is in another lvl, thx for sharing your projects!!
Congratulations on the excellent work and the fantastic canal. I really like your channel and I'm impressed with the tools and materials you use, I think most people do not know how to value you being in Portugal, an extremely difficult country to find specialized tools and materials (I'm tired of looking). One day you have to share where you get the materials, so I can use in my modest projects ;)
Great job! and I learned how veneer by one of your earlier videos and veneered my home build audio speakers, thanks! By the way, here in Mexico we have a similar type of gloopy contact adhesive, annoying stuff to work with.
Amazing work! That small bathroom vanity looks absolutely beautiful!! Love the mix of white and wood. ❤ Gives me the fire to try to create such beautiful things for myself.
Love your channel Cris ! I was wondering what happened because you don't seem to make as many video's as you used to. I'm glad your back. Love to watch you make stuff ... any stuff at all ! It would be great for you to give us a tour of this apartment now before you fill it up with the projects that you will add to it so we all see the before and the after. Thanks Cris and I will be looking forward to everything you do because you are awesome girl ! :-) Dennis
Hello Cristiana! Greetings from the Philippines! I just have to say I am enjoying immensely your content. It almost seems therapeutic for me to watch these videos as a daily ritual. You are obviously an artistic individual - and perhaps it would be of interest to other subscribers (I know it would be to me) - if you can expand your projects to outdoor settings (ie: a vertical garden or a minimalist bird feeder or a wood and concrete outdoor bench) - it seems right up your alley and your take on could be quite astounding. Keep up the good work - congratulations on your success! :-)
The flush fit handles are a great idea. I agree that handles sticking out are a pain. The thing with almost all houses being out of square with nothing straight seems to be a problem everywhere in England as well. Perhaps it is a universal problem. Whenever I look at the tiles in my bathroom I feel embarrassed for the person who did it.
Here's a tip I found to work really well for glueing veneer onto MDF; I use 5 minute epoxy, and hold the veneer onto the MDF with lots and lots of clear tape. Works an absolute treat! :) I have tied the self-glueing veneer in the past, but had some pretty poor results. A lot of the veneer came loose or developed 'bubbles'. But the epoxy even worked with the self-glueing veneer I had left over from previous jobs :) P.S. I am very jealous of the nice MDF variants that you have in Portugal. We can only get that stuff from specialist suppliers in the UK. I can only get standard MDF from the big DIY Stores.
great job, but I would reinforce the back of the draw handles, as the MDF that thin over time might not take the stress of pulling the draw in and out .
I really want to say thank you for showing your mistakes. You could have just as easily edited it out and said it was perfect the first time, but you showed what really happened and showed how you overcame and fixed it. I love your channel for that, how real you are with your viewers!!
That's great to know you pay attention to those details and actually appreciate the fact I show the mistakes. Thank you for following my work!
A new series is born on this channel! I'm building a tiny apartment! Lots of furniture projects coming in the next weeks :)
The long-awaited ukulele bass is almost ready so stick around for next sunday's video!
Looking forward to this series...
Ksi
Nice videos
Woohoo! :-D
Sweet goodness!
Look forward
I like the drawer handles very well. it's your design language👍💪👌
Thank you jenni, I'm happy you appreciate the handles :)
Great job as always!
Can you please make an apartment tour video to introduce the whole project and your ideas about it?
Thanks in advance!
I will do that yep :)
Hey great video! I tried to see in the comments if it was mentioned but did not find it. You don’t need to add trim around along the wall. Use some white caulk. Those inconsistencies completely disappear and you retain that amazing clean look! That is very nice!!

Hi.. here some input maybe useful to you
1. if you work with high humidity environtment, you should consider a HPL or PVC veneer for your project rather than wood veneer
2. use flexible wide metal scrapper to apply glue on vast surface, it works much faster and thiner
3. build some jig from scrap material to put rail on the inside, so it can line up properly
looking forward for your next video...

also like what you did there, especially the handles, a simple and beautiful look. i also like that its mounted to the wall and not standing on the ground.
I appreciate that you show how to readjust on the go. These aren't mistakes they are design changes.
I love your talent. You just say let's do this and that and that and then demonstrate it and then there is the perfect result. I consider myself not entirely incompetent as regards amateur projects and crafting but I'd never achieve your competence. I am not feeling incompetent or frustrated but... hats off, lady!
You inspired me to work with black mdf and I also build a tiny living space with black mdf and with some yellow details.
I can't wait to get some new inspiration from you with the new project

Wow! I am amazed. You can build anything. I just can’t stop watching.
OMG! In my dictionary you are the definition of: awesome, patience and perfection.
Man, I wish I had your skills! So gifted. My husband is pretty good with general woodworking, but I'd love to have cabinetry-making skills like you! Well done.

So far it looks like you are on the way to a great looking place.Keep up the great job. Bi the way that is construction i rarely works out and you have to adapt as you go . Walls and floors are never true.
You mean NEVER true!
Haha you know what I mean haha
Wow, your design of the drawer pulls is amazing! So subtile, elegant als minimalistic. I love that!!! Now I want your vanity in my bathroom 😑
11:32 The wood/white combo is gorgeous. I'm excited to follow this project as it moves along.
The drawer pulls are really goodlooking. Love your work
Great to see. You make a lot of the work look effortless and great to hear to you talk about some of the obstacles you have in design.
I am impressed of your work you are a marvel of being human, creative, hardworking, and above all very dedicated, your personality is incredible I congratulate you enormously every video that I see motivates me to realize some idea that you are EXTRAORDINARY! CONGRATULATIONS
I greet you from the city Orizaba in MEXICO

Hello! I am currently building a dressing for my room and was looking for a way to make hidden handles. I am glad your video came into me for the way you did yours 🤗 thank you for this, very nice vanity well done!
Have a nice day
The quality and attention to detail in your projects is crazy impressive. I'm getting through your videos quickly
Excellent idea for drawer pulls, thanks for sharing your woodworking work. Greetings from northern Mexico.
I really like the drawer pulls. They look fantastic.
Genius move with the laminate. The sandwich method is wild!
Great build and good technique for getting the straight edge on the veneer. You can use a bit of caulk or silicone to hide the edge against the wall. You could also used packers near the wall fixings so the unit isn't pulled out of shape when following the walls contours, but then that might mean more caulking. Well done! :)
It came out looking super cool, and I will definitely steal your handle design at some point, it's so simple yet SOOO good looking
Absolutely love your drawer pull design ! Looking forward to the rest of the build.
Wow! MDF in the bathroom - brave! Even with varnish or paint I wouldn't touch MDF. But it was nice to see you using just a track saw to cut the MDF and no table saw was used, as many people only have minimal tools to use for DIYs. Good video!
she used waterproof MDF, it's specifically sold for bathrooms and kitchens
Wow! I never knew that existed. Just googled it and it's called MR MDF that is made of moisture repellent resin. Thanks for the info. :-)
no problem :)
I enjoy watching all the fascinating tools...you use...Amazing
I love the drawer pulls. So stylish

Looking forward to that instrument build, can't wait to see it. The drawer looks great, especially with those pulls.
You make it look so easy. Superb work
Looks very nice, super using those drawer runners. about that, most of the hardware companies they have also a CAD database and online links with mounting and assembly instructions and specs and you can download pdf files or even some CAD formats that you can import and use in a 3D.

I love your drawer pulls, and the finished product looks Good.
love the color choices and the handle design choice. i noticed you wore the evan and katelyn shirt. i love their channel too.
love the idea to create sharp edges of the veneers by using a router with a flush trim bit
I like the design of the Vanity the drawer handles look great. Can't wait for the next project.
Muchísimas gracias por dedicar tu tiempo a enseñarnos tantos, desde España te doy las gracias.
Eres una gran profesional.
Podrías hacer algún día un vídeo sobre las herramientas eléctricas que tienes y dónde comprar?
Un saludo!!!
Gracias! Vou pensar nisso ;)
I like so much the handles, they are uniques.
I apreciate your veneer technique, you've just inspired me to do what my son thought we should do with the dinning room table, re veneer it.
If you use hidden drawer slides from Hettich you get really good instructions - you can also by the komplement slides from IKEA they are licensed by Hettich
Those draw pulls are a fantastic design
I am in love with those drawer pulls!
A perfect combination of materials, I like it a lot. And thanks for 4K
Those drawer pulls are amazingly gorgeous!

Once i got here there's no way to not watch your video all over again 😍🤤
So happy to have you back. Wish I had your skills.
Great job.
It will take a kidney to buy those tools.
I love carpentery.
Awesome build!
Next time I would use the iron method for gluing on the veneer.
So much easier.
Congratulations on the excellent work and the fantastic canal.

No giving up here! Your channel is one of the best!
Great job! and I learned how veneer by one of your earlier videos and veneered my home build audio speakers, thanks! By the way, here in Mexico we have a similar type of gloopy contact adhesive, annoying stuff to work with.
I really, really love your video style. Camera angles, technics, desings, musics... Great work.
Thank you!!
I LOVE those drawer pulls 🙌
Amazing work! That small bathroom vanity looks absolutely beautiful!! Love the mix of white and wood. ❤
Gives me the fire to try to create such beautiful things for myself.
Those handles though 😮
I'm just sad I didn't think of it myself 🤣 Simple, yet effective, love it. 😎
Impressionante e muito inspiradora qualidade e a minúcia do seu trabalho. Parabéns.
Another great video. Looking forward to seeing your beautiful country again in a week time.
Love your channel Cris ! I was wondering what happened because you don't seem to make as many video's as you used to. I'm glad your back. Love to watch you make stuff ... any stuff at all !

I love your videos!! And I just burst out laughing when I noticed you were wearing an Evan and Katelyn shirt! I love them!
I really enjoyed this project and the draw pulls were a lovely detail I really want to try for myself. Thanks.
Maravilhoso! Fiquei apaixonada pelo puxador da gaveta. Breve farei um igual para um criado mudo. Parabéns!
Wonderful work.
I admire your ideas and inspirations. I´ld like to build some bathroom furnitures soon in a way like this.
Ever consider getting an hvlp sprayer. It will make finishing go much smoother.
The flush fit handles are a great idea. I agree that handles sticking out are a pain.
The thing with almost all houses being out of square with nothing straight seems to be a problem everywhere in England as well. Perhaps it is a universal problem. Whenever I look at the tiles in my bathroom I feel embarrassed for the person who did it.
Try edge banding the edges last. You can use masking tape to prevent overspill on the edges.
Nice finish on the handles
This video is more satisfying than most of the satisfying videos.😌😌😌😴😴😴
Doing the top oversized and always giving yourself plenty of wiggle room is a great idea 👍🏼
Beautiful build, have you thought about scribing the cabinet to the wall?
I like your professional work
Happy to see to you woodworking again and design the little details. I am excited to watch the following episodes! Greetings, Achim

Great job, I like your work.
I watch you from Paris and it’s always a pleasure to see your news ideas and projects.
Love it! Measure twice, cut once, unless they are walls. Walls are never square or flat. : )
Building furniture is never easy but I think you done a great job and can't wait for more build videos!
Everything you make is just beautiful and I'm so jealous.
great job, but I would reinforce the back of the draw handles, as the MDF that thin over time might not take the stress of pulling the draw in and out .
This channel is awesome and unique.
