Creating my first bathroom vanity was a journey filled with excitement and a touch of uncertainty. There’s a first for everything, and I was determined to make my vision a reality.
I envisioned a vanity that was both elegant and unique, so I spent the entire day working towards that goal. Utilizing all the scrap wood I had on hand, I started by building the cabinet box to give the vanity its shape. Using leftover wood from previous projects made this my lowest cost white oak DIY to date. I can’t believe it turned into this!
The real magic happened when I decided to use reeded white oak for the exterior. This reeded effect was made from leftover tongue and groove pieces from my outdoor ceiling project, adding a beautiful texture to the vanity. It’s the perfect customized look that I desired!
Finally, I installed the doors and added the same detailed border, tying the entire piece together.
The result? A stunning white oak vanity that not only serves its purpose but also adds a touch of elegance to my bathroom. It’s crazy what one piece of furniture can do to a room! This project taught me that with patience and creativity, even leftover materials can be transformed into something truly special.

Q: How did you make the doors for the Vanity?
