Vanity replacement a great upgrade for under $300

 



Bathrooms are the cornerstone to your house and we all know that people have four basic functions we eat, drink, sleep, and well use the bathroom! I am sure you all can think of more so comment and let me know your thoughts. For me personally, I like the idea of a clean functional and yet personal design, nothing too fancy but nice with earth tone floors and clean fixtures. I am not really into the bath tub and like the idea of a huge shower. I think we can all agree that this photo, while appealing to some may not work with some of us! We all have personal tastes that vary with the population of the earth and when it comes to faucets,toilets, showers, tubs, and vanities we all have distinct tastes. Remember that the "Out-House" for some is a viable alternative!

Replacement or refresh of a bathroom vanity really must be planned out from top to bottom and needs to take considerable thought so really plan this out. If you take this project on be ready for real issues with plumbing and flooring. Seek out professional help if you think the project is too much but remember YOU CAN DO THIS! The videos here are about installation of the vanity and the faucet and assume that you already have what you want in floors, walls, and tub. Just remember that ceramic tile (we covered that project already) is a great addition to a bathroom and easy to clean.
  



How to install a bathroom vanity with mosaic tile is a great start to finding your way through this project!



Where to buy the vanity is always a great question and you must determine what you like The above video describes many places where a purchase can be made including the big box stores and custom work if that's your taste. The all in one offerings at The Home Depot make perfect sense if your vanity is a standard size and you are willing to accept the top which matches the unit!





As you can see above The Home Depot can make this happen with great combo kits which offer great design and granite or corian tops! The two seen above include the vanity, top and a mirror for a complete matching set up. Buy a faucet of your choice and you are on your way! 


I hope this helps and let me know what's on your mind and if you need some personal advice to ensure your project goes well and avoid the project blues by visiting the ORANGE BOX whenever you need help with your home improvement project!

  1. I love the idea for calling ahead to see if the company has ever seen the vanities before. I can't tell you how many times I have gone into a store and been given the run around searching for my perfect item I've had in mind. Research is key! If calling ahead will save me time, it's a great idea to get the look I am trying to accomplish.
    Great tips on your blog!
