Homemade and custom bathroom vanities

We are all moved in and enjoying our new home but haven’t found much time for blogging the last few months. Our commitment was to blog the entire process so I decided to go ahead and knock out one more blog post this weekend. In this post are the pictures of the bathroom vanities and links to the instructions to build the vanities yourself. We saved an amazing amount of money by building some of our own vanities. If you like a farmhouse or rustic style then I highly recommend these homemade vanities as an alternative to expensive manufactured vanities.

I have to confess that I lacked the confidence to build all the vanities myself. Bethany talked me into building the vanities for the powder room and guest bathroom, but all of the other bathroom vanities were either custom built (Joe Gavalas of Marilynn Enterprises) or semi-custom manufactured vanities. Joe’s cabinets are beautiful, just like the custom kitchen cabinets he built for us.

This is what the semi-custom manufactured vanities in the kid’s rooms look like:

Here are some pictures of the Master Bedroom vanities (custom built by Joe Gavalas of Marilynn Enterprises):

Wholesteading-com_Bathroom_Vanities011 — Master Bedroom Vanities – There is another matching vanity and towers just like this set on the other side of the bathroom

Wholesteading-com_Bathroom_Vanities006 — The matching vanities are positioned on either side of the cast iron tub

Wholesteading-com_Bathroom_Vanities019 — Bethany found these awesome hammered nickel sinks on Amazon…click on the picture to learn more

Wholesteading-com_Bathroom_Vanities018 — The drawers in the center vanity have outlets inside of them so things that charge, like electric razors, can be charged in the closed drawers and not have to be setting out all the time when charging

Wholesteading-com_Bathroom_Vanities020 — The towel towers have pull out laundry hampers

Wholesteading-com_Bathroom_Vanities021 — The towel towers also have pull out garbage cans

The remaining two vanities were homemade. I had Bethany sketch on paper what she had in mind and then I mocked the designs up in SketchUp. I picked up the wood from Lowe’s and then built them in the garage of the rental we were living in while our house was being built.
