Reclaimed Wood Bathroom Vanity

Question

We'd like to build a custom vanity with the wood we reclaimed from our renovation. We like the rustic industrial look but also want it to be practical for a bathroom (i.e. storage, can get wet, etc.) Any tips? The rest of our bathroom is painted a soft vanilla and we have a white subway tile tub surround and white hex tiles on the floor. Examples of what we're thinking below.

That style of vanity would be awesome and easy to build, also! If you seal the entire piece with a coat of spar urethane, it will be able to repel moisture and still be able to expand and contract. I like using Rust-Oleum Spar Varnish. I have had really good luck with this product! Good luck on your build!

Great tip @Cher @ Designs By Studio C! Thanks so much!

The top is the only thing one has to worry about water stains. A good water seal is required. Cher@ Designs has the best answer.

Did you find a vanity? 
Or, did you find the plans for this on Ana White's site? I think she has something very similar. It's something I was looking for, too! :)

Yes, we built it from the 100+ year old wood we removed from the walls on our first floor. Check it out here. http://whereweareblog.com/2014/01/07/new-old-vanity/ ;

Can you tell me where you purchased the lighting fixtures?

Julie @ WhereWeAreBlog.com · Answer

If you've visited our blog (WhereWeAreBlog.com) and have seen our bathroom, our vanity lights are from Lowes. The one's in the photo above are from Restoration Hardware.
