With no picture? Have a solid surface top made for the vanity top, paint the rest.

No clue on mirror trim, but I might be rid of it.: )

I got the photo in the original post - once I used my computer and not my phone!

I would not paint the entire vanity. I would probably just refinish the flat part of the top (not the profiled edge) and see if I could match the rest as closely as possible.

I wouldn't change stain colors.

lightly sand off the top coat and apply the same color gel stain to refresh.

do NOT use a poly (or a lacquer) on these pieces. Poly isn't meant for wet areas. You want a varnish. An exterior Marine Varnish. also called Spar Varnish

Man oWar, Sikkens, Epifanes, (I've used all 3) are all good wood varnishes for wet areas.

or, you could try Waterlox

I don't want to make a big job of it as we're putting the house on the market. Kitchen is recently renovated, but bathrooms are 25 years old. I was advised not to reno the bathrooms, just clean throroughly and paint walls, but I thought a refresh of the vanity might help. I did also think about taking off the mirror and replacing with a big one on the wall.

The damage doesn’t show in pictures. Sometimes you can get away with a light sand with very fine sandpaper and a new coat of poly. I would not stain random parts a darker color.

I'd not worry at all, the bath looks very clean and well maintained. Let the next modernist deal with it. The one who probably rips up the bathroom ?

I would keep the vanity whole and not remove the mirror and replace with a wall mirror. Your train rack shelf and vanity look nice together with the tile.

If you’re going to varnish use Epifanes. Cetol is garbage. Don’t use Spar varnish, it’s too soft. Lived on a boat 15 years with lots of teak.

It matters what’s on there now if it’s poly or varnish, you may need to test an inconspicuous area for adhesion.

This may turn into a bigger job than you expect. Perhaps wait for a showing or two to see if there is any negative feedback on the vanity condition.

Hi Jan, my colour consultant surprised me when she said she absolutely loved that bathroom! To me, it's now a "what was I thinking?" - I don't like orange and never have, can't remember why I went for terracotta, and the vanity is too large, and doesn't even provide much storage. But it is in amazing condition, just apart from the vanity top, which is a result of the hubs slopping water everywhere and never wiping it up.

I would paint it the shade of blue in the inlaid tiles on it. Would look nice.

No paint on it NO NO NO!!! Ugg why do people want their entire lives flat and lifeless!! Frankly if it were mine I would be bopping down to the local big box store and picking up a vanity, swapping it out and taking that with me!!! How are you not??? If you do you have to before the house hits the market and realty pics are taken. I agree a light sanding, maybe reapply the stain lightly then a good coat of a harder epoxy resin would refresh and preserve the surface.

If you love this piece why not take it out of the space replace with a regular vanity and keep this for the next house . IMO a piece that really does not belong in a bathroom with water splashing anyway. As for the top if you refinish and use the piece in a different spot in the new house it will last forever .
