How do I adapt an old dresser to a bathroom vanity?

I have an old dresser that needs refinishing. I really want to turn it into a bathroom vanity, and place a vessel sink on top. Currently, it has two drawers at the top. How do I rework the drawers to accommodate the plumbing for a vessel sink? And what's the best treatment for the top to protect against water splashes?

First cut a middle hole and measure your sink to fit into and then use small tiles for the top of the dresser so it won;t get damage from water... Enjoy your beautiful sink,
You're welcome Abbey, its going to look very nice...
