Just Fine Tables on Mar 20, 2012Yes. See if you can find an old Sewing Machine Base (that's with a wood top) and use it. It is OK to make flush with your wall.Helpful Reply

Jane L on Mar 20, 2012A couple of things, you can go to second hand stores/antique and look for an old buffet or credenza, that's what I did. I ended up paying $180.00 for one, cut out a hole in the top and dropped a sink. You can also go on Ana-white.com and she has FREE plans for all types of furniture, you can make it look anyway you want. I'm assuming you just want to drop a sink?Helpful Reply

Terri J on Mar 20, 2012Other places you can look are something along the lines of Just Cabinets, premade, you have to assemble, Craigs List or "freecycle", a Resource" Shippenville (have one in York, PA). I have a double vanity in my basement left over from building house. You get it for $75.00 and it's made by Aristocraft.Helpful Reply

Patricia Mayne on Mar 20, 2012Check out the Habitat for Humanity Restore store in Atlanta - they usually have a good selection of new, slightly damaged and salvaged from renovated homes. We've had good luck finding pieces there for our home. http://www.atlantahabitat.org/restoreHelpful Reply

Kelly S on Mar 20, 2012I wanted the look of an old dresser, but coudn't find one that fit so I bought a new vanity/sink from Home Decorators with the furniture look. Write down your measurements before you go antique/reuse shopping. A demilune table might also work.Helpful Reply

Susan Bechamp on Aug 15, 2015Check out yard sales and tag sale, flea markets and second hand stores. Be creative about what works. A second hand work bench could be reborn as a vanity with a fresh coat of paint and a new counter top. (Remnants from builders leftovers). Mount a peg board above the work bench with a mirror over the sink and tool caddies to hold toiletries above the drawers. Want something smaller? Think sewing machine cabinet.Helpful Reply
