Let's check out a few before pictures first:
Our oak-iest of oak vanity cabinet. Not that I have too much against oak, I'm just not opposed to a change in scenery either!
Next up is the sink area -- could use a little more space here.
And finally (you've already seen the outcome of this one) the opposing wall of our bathroom.
Ready for the afters? (My favorite part!)
The cabinet got a major change (especially the inside! Check out our DIY roll out shelves here). I painted it high gloss black and got some new hardware for the outside -- brushed nickel to match the rest of the fixtures:
We also put up an ultra sleek looking glass shelf above our faucet:
(this was my splurge for this project)
Sidenote: I can't get enough of Bath & Bodywork's soap, but I won't buy it unless I have a coupon....so here's a coupon.
And finally, in case you missed the DIY faux wainscoating from yesterday, here it is again:
One more view (including the wonderful makeup mirror my hubby got me for Christmas (installation included!!):
The total cost of our project was:
Roll Out Shelves: $38.95
Faux Wainscoating: $6.98
Cabinet Paint: $6.98
Cabinet Hardware: $3.38
Glass Shelf: $23.98
TOTAL: $80.27
It was a busy weekend -- but it feels good to get a complete project done. On to the next Hand-Me-Down-House to-do!

Looks fantastic! Great job and I love the shelf! You got me thinking now!!!
Looks fabulous, great job! Thanks for stopping by!
did you sand the vanity or just paint over it? i'm dreaming of painting some of mine but i just don't know where to start...
Do you mind if I ask what brand and color you painted your bathroom?
You're cabinet looks a million time better. Love it.
If you want to save even more on the B&B works foaming soap refill your bottles yourself. Simply buy a shower gel in the scent you want and add a tablespoon to your empty container then fill the rest of the way with water. Give it a good shake and you're good to go.
