Vanity revamp

10 years ago

We have an original 1958 bathroom, and due to the tiled counter we can't easily replace just the vanity - which is 50-year-old plywood, and full of dings. Nor can we currently afford to redo the whole bathroom. But we can afford paint and hardware, and boy it makes a difference!

Filling in the marks on the cabinet box with wood glue and replacing the doors would really help. I think it is a really nice bathroom but that will help, also updating the hardware on the cabinet will help.

not wood glue, wood putty.

Beautiful porcelain tiles in your bathroom! Yes, a fresh coat of paint on cabinets and walls does make a huge difference!

The color of cabinets looks very nice in your bathroom! The knobs on the cabinets look great.! Fabulous job!

you could always reface the box with new doors, if you want. Then you could do a full overlay where the hinges wouldn't show. For now, I would spray the hinges to match your new hardware. The dark just stands out too much.

No opinion on your new paint, however, those tiles are amazing! Glad to see you left them intact. So many people swap them for the latest home depot trend.
