So I may not be the girliest person in the world (if you haven't figured it out yet Nicole is writing this post not Mike) but I am so excited to have a designated area to get ready in the morning and have all of my personal bathroom items where Mike can't hide them on me. It turned out so beautiful and completed with all salvaged pieces. The actual vanity I wanted to have a lot of drawer space but still be able to fit my legs underneath so I could sit near the counter top. We had a really difficult time finding this size cabinet, until Mike went wandering in our neighbors trash and found a discarded remnant of a kitchen cabinet that fit perfectly. All we had to do was strip it of the 50's era yellow paint and stain it to match our pocket door. The marble top was found at a local salvage yard and we had it cut to match the style of our sink top. We added hardware to tie in the look with the rest of the bathroom and added the same mirror that is above our sink. My favorite part is the top drawer that Mike put in small dividers for all my jewelry since I have been using the same crappy jewelry case since college. I have officially moved up in the world.
The background to this story shouldn't be lost, we almost made this area a closet but instead knocked out a portion of the dormer for a medium sized closet to gain space and not lose the vanity. This whole project stemmed from Mike's pure hatred for my hairdryer. Which now has a home underneath the vanity where he will never have to see it.
Whatever, I can totally tell that Mike wrote this. That was very nice of Nicole to build a vanity for you.
