Thread: A Unique Bathroom Vanity

G'Day again,
Here is a bathroom vanity that was designed by myself and the client. It had some needs to be filled. Some were LOTS of storage and if someone were setting on the 'THRONE' it was supposed to hide them as much as possible.

A unique idea came to mind, and after some drawings were made to show the client, it received her go ahead.

It was decided to build it with soft maple, use straight grained wood for the framing, and to use curly maple for the end panels and door panels.

Two triangular shaped upright cabinets fulfilled the need for additional storage and helped to hide any resident of the throne. One on each end. Also the lower ends had pullout drawers installed as you can see from the photo.

I added an ebonized strip of wood at the top and at the bottom for an accent. I also used some bunn feet under the front of toe kick to make it look more like a piece of furniture.

The customer was delighted that I included a hand carved center panel in front of the sink.

None of the dyes or stains pleased her so I started to experiment. I discovered that VERY STRONG COFFEE was light fast, easy to mix up and smelled great and she LOVED IT! So I stained it with COFFEE!

That's all for today.
