Pop of Color Vanity

All of the cabinetry in my Sister's new house is white, but she wanted me to help her build a vanity to add a pop of color in a half bath. We have very differing styles. I love raised panel and lots of molding, she likes flat panel and sleek. We settled on a fun bead board panel that adds a little texture to the door.
I designed up a simple woodworking plan (posted here http://www.hertoolbelt.com/half-bath-vanity-sink-cabinet-plans/ and more building details.)
When it came to painting the cabinet, my sister first picked a chartreuse color, but it didn't look great on the cabinet. We switched to this fun orange-red color, Rustoleum Paprika. It really accentuated the rusty flecks in the floor tile. I also helps that her husbands favorite color is orange, so that was a plus.
I cut out a hole in the back for the plumbing. Installing the cabinet is fairly easy. Locate the studs in the wall. Level and adjust the cabinet feet. Drill through the cabinet back panel into the studs in about 4 places (left upper and lower and right upper and lower). Secure with cabinet screws.
