The Death of an Ugly Bathroom Vanity

We took this dated late 90's bathroom vanity and gave it a timeless makeover. Do you like the direction we took with this design? Anyone like the before better?

    look at the caesarstone, there's quite a few creams and whites and even mixes of the 2. Organic White is a gorgeous soft white - depends on your vanity too. Make sure you choose your specific slab if you go with natural stone because a sample is never indicative of what your piece will be....Good luck with your reno!

Vinyl Tile Flooring Install

I want to show you how easy it is to install vinyl tile yourself. Unlike laminate, or hard wood, you won't need a lot of special tools, or a ton of time. It took Joseph and I about 7 ...»
hours to install the tiles from start to finish, which isn't bad, considering the bathroom also contains a laundry section.

Prep Work:1. Rip out previous flooring and scrub free of debris.2. Draw a grid on the floor with a pencil.

Install:3. Measure and cut tile according to each size space on the grid.4. Apply glue with a spreading tool.5. Peel off the back of each tile and stick.

Reclaimed Industrial Vanity

I really like the industrial look, so I came up with a vanity plan that's different from your typical vanity. I raided my dad's barn for some 2x6 tongue-and-groove boards and bought a ...»
stash of galvanized pipe for the legs and supports. It was pretty quick and easy to build, though it did take some time to figure out. I need to find some good baskets to fit on the shelves, and stock up on nicer towels! But we really like the vanity and so far its worked out great. Step by step tutorial on my blog.
