Bathrooms The Old House

Update bathroom vanity....help!

5 years ago

Hey Houzz....I am planning to update my old bathroom vanity. My current vanity is the original, and 90” in length.
My dilemma is that I am torn between either buying a new one, which is costly for sure, or is it somewhat cheaper to have the current vanity resurfaced,update cabinet doors (resurface, repaint, add drawers)?? I am already planning to get new faucets, new sinks, lighting and mirrors.
Is anyone out there familiar with the cost of updating the cabinet drawers on a vanity ??

You'll get better value by purchasing a new vanity. If you were to refurbish the old vanity, it would still look old inside. Keep in mind that when you introduce new things into a room, it makes everything else look older, so a refurbished cabinet would look even older. The door into the bathroom is very nice. Good luck with your remodel. : ) Rhoda

It looks very short, how tall is it? Many new vanity have drawers, they provide much more storage.

If you can live with the old one just paint it and add new hardware. Lay self-stick floor tiles on the inside bottom.
