Refurbishing a batbroom Vanity
Just wanted to share a little bit about one of my current projects. I'm finishing up remodeling one of my rentals which was rented out for 5 years and now I'm getting ready to sell it. I usually replace vanities but in the case of this house, the vanity in the master bathroom was a custom fit Formica vanity. If I would have removed it, I would have had to replace the flooring in the bathroom completely as they tiled around the vanity and that particular tile is no longer available. So, I decided to refurbisb the existing vanity. First, I removed the formica top with the sink. Then I replaced it with some leftover granite from the kitchen remodel in the same house. Drilled holes for a vessel sink and faucet. Then I used stainable primer on top of the formica cabinets and applied a dark cherry stain. Replaced cabinet doors and drawes with custom made raised panel doors and matching drawers.
Total cost: granite (zero - was leftover from kitchen), stainable primer $50, Stain $10, Vessel Sink $59, Faucet $100, custom doors and drawers $140. New hoses and drain $50.. Total cost was just over $400..
