of your options, I would paint the hallway cabinetry the same color as the new wall color.

do what you like for the bathroom vanity.

What is the blue painters tape for?

I would paint the hall cabinets in the same white as your trim and doors.

The bathroom vanity can be any color you want, that complements the other finishes in the bathroom.

Here's the vanity - I just noticed cracks through the panel doors today on both sides, which I would assume is from the wood splitting after 24/7 dryers and dehumidifiers. So mad that the damage just keeps growing.

The painters tape was from the first remediation bid where they taped the bottom portion of all walls to denote in their pictures/report everywhere they wanted to cut out before drying. We did not use that company so we only have one section of one bedroom where the sheetrock was cut out.

Thank you for weighing in on the hall cabinets. I am not sure if Pale Oak with White Dove will look nice upstairs, but that is what we just finished doing throughout the downstairs and up the staircase wall so I'm hoping to just use that combo again. I used satin finish for the trim work so that would be what to use on the cabinets as well?

I'm sorry about your flood.

Personally, I'm doubting that your plan is less expensive (and otherwise equivalent) than just buying a new vanity. First of all, if you've never replaced or thought about built-in vanities, they often have filler pieces at the sides and even though the stock built-in vanity may be 60" or 64", there are filler pieces on the edges.

Have you visited a local, reputable cabinet store to investigate your options?

Do you enjoy that low vanity? Wouldn't you prefer a taller vanity? I would. Maybe some short people don't mind the shorter vanities.

Little personal perspective here: PROPER painting of a much-used cabinet is not going to be cheap. We recently used a local very reputable painting crew to paint our kitchen cabinets (house is for sale, the cabinets are tear-outs anyway, and were taking realtor's advice). The crew our realtor hired used relatively high-end paints made for cabinets. Even with the excellent prep work I watched these guys do (multiple sandings, apparently thorough, 2 coats primer, 3 coats paint, etc.), the cabinets were chipping within a month. Just little chips here and there, but dang, if I had to live with it, I would be very unhappy.

Free-standing 60" need not be your only option. Although freestanding vanities look very nice, it's a pain to clean back there, and I wouldn't want one myself.

Thanks Dani. I hope they will replace it but so far it is only the doors. Still no word on even the flooring.

Thanks Mrs. S - that is exactly the type of experience I need to hear to weigh the costs. Trust me, the short vanity was nice only when my kids were super little; makes no sense to (very tall( me, lol.

This happens ALL the time. Unfortunately, what an insurance company may consider full replacement, or acceptable....is not your idea of same.

I would tear that sucker right off the wall.

"They said the cabinetry is fine and undamaged."

No and it WON'T be fine, nor would I trust that the drywall behind it will be "fine"

Do over in order, even if not 100% covered. It's never 100% covered unless you are willing to settle for half ass.

Jan, thank you. Would you opt for a new built in or a freestanding/pre-fab, speaking from a budgetary perspective? Not a wayfair or big box deal but like a room and board level set up.

It's the kids hall bath and tiny as you can see. Do people keep shower/tub combos in this scenario, or are they sort of a relic? It is an akward and frustrating experience trying to bathe children in there and would be better served as a shower in my opinion, but it's not something that bugs me or the kids anymore.

I'm very certainly going to be coming out of pocket on every aspect of the rebuild to not have to resort to junk materials and poor quality installers. I already said thanks but no thanks to the cabal of contractors and subs the insurance people keep employed. So I have to not go into too much debt to keep adding things onto my tab.
