Wife and I wanted a new vanity for one of our bathrooms
I posted a pic of this cabinet a while back
anyway
new base under the old cabinet made out of leftovers and scrap
old dough bowl for a basin
re-use the faucet
half price hunk of granite for the top
looks pretty good

That IS cool. Looks like somethin' from an old Spanish castle.
Waste of a perfectly good dough bowl, tho'. ;-)

Everything fits, until you put glue on it.
Now that is unique! I want a copper sink for one of our bathrooms. Just can't afford it!
You can score any number of copper sinks on Ebay cheap...
I don't do e-bay, but I will look into it. Thanks. We can get hammered copper sinks in Mexico, but it's kind of dicey going there now.
Hi C, Don't you think our resident coppersmith could/would make you a one of a kind sink?Bet he would give you a heck of a deal also!Ask him, the networking part of this site is being underutilized. Be well; have fun....dan
Never thought of that! Thanks.

LOL...So did I! We were staying on the beach at Rocky Point. Didn't have to drive!
"We can get hammered copper sinks in Mexico, but it's kind of dicey going there now."As long as they did not put slaughtered pigs in it you should be OK (G, D, & R).

I got a nice undermount copper sink at Lowes a while back. It was pretty cheap.Mike HennessyPittsburgh, PAEverything fits, until you put glue on it.
I've never looked there. Husband is the one who goes to Lowe's. I'll have to check it out. Thanks.
Gorgeous!

as you know, cobbling something together that looks nice and functions well is bittersweet
because now the woman has expectations...

Looks great, I also like the look of the crackle finish on the wainscoting.

That's pretty cool, lots of visual texture for the eyeballs to digest.
as predicted she was so tickled with the vanity more work was called inglass block wallNo Tag
added an old library door on a barn door track to close off the bedroom beyondNo Tag
Very clever!
I confess it was my wife's idea.
She stayed somewhere and the interior doors in her suite were hung that way.it was my idea to use the hardware from a local farm supply ($50)instead of the schmaltzy shipped in from California ($500) stuffNo Tag
I too have gone with that approach, had to deal with an old exterior wall. Johnson Hardware makes a not so (big) system, track, you might
consider the next time, IMO. #2610 Series wall mount open pocket door.
