How To Turn An Old Dresser Into A Bathroom Vanity

Turn an old dresser into a one-of-a-kind bathroom vanity with these simple steps. This project is perfect for those on a budget or for those who want to add a bit of personality to their bathroom, without breaking the bank.

Start by finding a dresser in good condition. Look at thrift stores, garage sales, or online marketplaces. Once you have your dresser, clean it thoroughly and remove any hardware.

Next, measure the space where you want to put the vanity. The dresser should be slightly narrower than the space so that there is room for a backsplash and trim.

Place the dresser in the desired location and level it. Use a level to make sure the dresser is even from front to back and side to side. Once the dresser is level, mark the location of the legs on the floor. Remove the dresser and drill pilot holes for the legs.

Attach the legs to the dresser using screws. Make sure the legs are secure and that the dresser is level. Once the legs are attached, you can add a backsplash and trim to the dresser.

To add a backsplash, measure the height of the dresser from the countertop to the floor. Cut a piece of plywood or MDF to the size of the backsplash. Attach the backsplash to the dresser using screws or nails.

To add trim, measure the length of the dresser from side to side. Cut a piece of trim to the size of the trim. Attach the trim to the dresser using screws or nails.

Once the backsplash and trim are in place, you can add a countertop to the dresser. Measure the width and depth of the dresser. Cut a piece of plywood or MDF to the size of the countertop. Attach the countertop to the dresser using screws or nails.

Finally, you can add a sink and faucet to the vanity. Measure the size of the sink and cut a hole in the countertop. Insert the sink into the hole and secure it with screws or nails. Attach the faucet to the sink.

With a little bit of time and effort, you can turn an old dresser into a beautiful and functional bathroom vanity.
