Thanks for this video. This is a well-designed and relatively simple vanity. I ended up making some modifications to my version; primarily expanding the width to 30 inches to accommodate the space we have. The modification I am most pleased with, however, is that I set the shelves in ledges I screwed into the frame sides. They are still flush with the frame's side pieces, but now they can be removed to work on the plumbing.
The pocket hole joinery with wood glue makes a super strong cabinet. Nice job with the stain as well! Keep up the great work as the goal is for us to continue to inspire others to build something awesome!👍🏼
This is fantastic! Great simple design that looks like the ones you would pay $700-$1K for in the stores. This is exactly what I was looking for. We plan to make this soon, Thank you!
I just moved to our new home a didn’t know how expensive a cabinet is until now 😩 I’m so scared but I definitely want to give this a go to bring my vision to life. Thank you!!! ❤️
Another nice project! Your DIY videos are very helpful and just simply healing to watch. Plenty of good ideas for building customized and expensive-looking projects with economical materials.
Great video! i just purchased the plans from your website. I really respect your journey after reading your background. I too was in finance and not feeling fulfilled. Made a [pandemic] paradigm shift into the trades because life is too short to be unhappy. Anyway, keep up the good work!
Thank you for this kind and thoughtful comment, I really do feel much more fulfilled with what I am doing now. I am glad you were able to make the changes that you wanted in your life as well!!
Great build! I may do something similar. Vanities at the big box stores are crazy expensive and cheaply made. I'll try out lap joints for the doors, though this project could be a good excuse to dip into my stash of Kreg screws.
I've discovered that if you want to use those fancy Euro hinges or anything like them, go with an overlay door or prepare to be frustrated. Inset doors do not appear to work well with them. I have a project nearing completion where I have an inset door in a face frame. Attaching these hinges to the face frame was a major pain and after fooling with it over a period of days, I finally gave up and used traditional hinges which worked out fine.
Thanks for letting me know! They are definitely frustrating! Thankfully the traditional hinges work well instead! If the magnetic door catches didn't work for us we would have tried a different hinge!
Love it! I'll be starting this project in about 2 weeks. You did a great job! Where did you get the premium 2x2 and 2x3's? Can't seem to find them with the sharp, clean edges. I only see stud like wood in this size. Appreciate your guidance.
I got them at Home Depot, we used premium wood for the 2x2s! I would recommend finding out what day of the week your local home improvement store gets their lumber in so you can get a better selection to choose from!
The hinges are supposed to do that, it's so they hold the door closed properly against the frame and takes up any error. If the hinge held a perfect 90 degrees, then a tiny amount of out-of-square would cause the middle of the doors to not meet perfectly. If there's a mere 0.5 degrees of misalignment between the hinges on each side, then a hinge that held a perfect 90 degrees would cause a misalignment in the middle of 2.61mm if the door were 300mm long.
I used a 4ft x 8ft 1/2″ thick plywood sheet that was formaldehyde free and pre-sanded. I have it linked in the blog post: angelamariemade.com/how-to-build-a-diy-bathroom-vanity/
This is a life saver when you need one the most!

I know, you can save a ton of $$ by DIY'ing and once you get used to some of the basic tools and techniques the projects are very doable!!!

Angela, what size clamps do you use the most for your projects?
I'd say probably the 24" Irwin clamp first, followed by the 12" Irwin clamp.
The hinges are supposed to do that, it's so they hold the door closed properly against the frame and takes up any error. If the hinge held a perfect 90 degrees, then a tiny amount of out-of-square would cause the middle of the doors to not meet perfectly. If there's a mere 0.5 degrees of misalignment between the hinges on each side, then a hinge that held a perfect 90 degrees would cause a misalignment in the middle of 2.61mm if the door were 300mm long.
Thank you for this explanation, it is very helpful to know!
Lindo gabinete.
Hi, what type of plywood did you use to keep the cost down?
I used a 4ft x 8ft 1/2″ thick plywood sheet that was formaldehyde free and pre-sanded. I have it linked in the blog post: angelamariemade.com/how-to-build-a-diy-bathroom-vanity/
@@AngelaMarieMade Thanks!!
How big are those clamps? I am struggling to find such big clamps here in Japan
The larger ones are 12" and the smaller is 6"
@@AngelaMarieMade Oh! They look much larger as it looks like you are clamping the full depth of the cabinet.
You are right, i was looking at the wrong ones online. The larger one is 24" and the smaller is 12".
@@AngelaMarieMade Thanks! Great channel by the way.
