Bathroom Carpentry / Woodworking Countertops

Bathroom Vanity Makeover

I'm in the middle of a bathroom makeover, and I just finished my vanity. I made new doors and drawer fronts using 1/2" plywood and decorative trim, and then made the countertop for under $35 using cedar fence pickets. Next up, I'll be working on the walls, and getting rid of (or covering up) the 30+ year old berry wallpaper.

    The bathroom vanity before, with very old and disgusting apartment-grade cabinet and laminate countertop

    Looks great. Good luck on the wallpaper. We just took down some 30 year old paper--what a job! Please post your hints on wallpaper. We had to use a steamer.

    To remove wallpaper. You can get a tool that you roll over the wallpaper and it makes little slits in the paper. Use diluted fabric softener with warm water in a spray bottle. Soak the wall and wait. (Protect your floor) It will just scrape off. (I didn't measure how much fabric softener, just poured some in. Went thru 2 large generic bottles to do the room. The room smelled good too. Cheaper than renting a steamer.

    I love the way your new counter top looks. Good job! Take Rose's advice and get the paper tool. One is actually called Paper Tiger. I haven't used the fabric softener but I wish I had known about it. In our former house the wallpaper was hung with no prep first. It was a nightmare. Good luck.

    A great looking re-do, Kristi. Looking at what you did with the new doors has given me an AHA for my kitchen cabinet doors that are desperate for an upgrade. Thank you for sharing the great pix. Also, I had to remove years of wallpaper from a bedroom. Tried multiple methods - rent a steamer. It was magic!
