The hubs and I decided to update our bathroom that hadn't been touched in well over 20 years.
I was going for an industrial farmhouse vibe.
The vanities you buy in home improvement stores are particle board garbage. Even the more expensive ones are horrible.
Since I have a grandson that stays with us often and another grandbaby on the way, I knew I needed something more than just a piece of cardboard as my vanity.
I refinish furniture and found this dresser in my stash. I pulled it out, sanded it, cleaned it and painted it white.
The top was stained and sealed with poly but I'll eventually go back and seal with resin.
I'm not crazy about the stain I used on the top. I wanted it to match the other wood accents in the bathroom but I missed the mark by a mile (or 4).
The wood that was used in the bathroom came from a floor joist out of a house that was 150 years old which I left natural, no stain and no poly.
The sides of the wood need to be stained because you can see where cut were made.
The cabinet next to the vanity I also refinished. The drawers are small so I needed small handles but wanted something different than what I used on the vanity in order to make it it's own piece & stand out.
The industrial accents in the bathroom are actually plumbing piping. Metal flanges, elbows, nipples & pipes which have been spray painted black.
Because the drawers of the dresser has a curve, I couldn't use big handles. The hubs found the hardware on Amazon and I think they are perfect.
Small handles for the dresser and cup handles for the little cabinet.
Both sets of drawer hardware matches the aesthetic perfectly. They are sturdy, well made and affordable.
I am so happy with my purchase.
The bathroom isn't done yet. I still have a few more things to do but thus far, I'm very happy with how it is turning out.
