Vanity makeover instructions

So as promised in my previous post, I will now provide you with the instructions on how I managed to complete this project.  It is quite simple actually.   For starters you need to have a vision of what you want your vanity to look like.  I went with the shaker style door, as this was the easiest to complete.  If you are planning to include a more detailed trim, it will be more difficult. 

Bathroom Vanity

I have been wanting to upgrade the bathroom off of our rec room for quite some time now.  You see the rest of the house has seen some changes, some more drastic then others.  Our upstairs bathroom saw the biggest transformation I think and it makes the bathroom downstairs look so outdated.

The shower has been leaking for some time.  Steve I think has gotten tired of changing the handles and I think this time the shower itself is leaking and the only way to fix it, is to replace the tap for the shower.  

From Drab to Fab... A pretty desk

So I had previously shown you the before pictures of my daughters NEW to her desk.  I picked this little baby up from my local Restore.  If you are not familiar withe the Restore, it is the Habitat for Humanity store.  They receive items donated from people and retail stores and sell it. All proceed go to helping build homes for people with low income.  If you want more information on Habitat for Humanity, here is the link to their site http://www.habitat.ca/.

So I will include the before picture here, so you don't have to go looking for it.  I was lucky that I went to the store when I did and picked this little baby up for $20.  YES, just $20 for BOTH the desk and chair.  The chair alone I think was worth $20.  

Next DIY Project - Painting a desk, chair and table

So this last week I have been doing a lot of online surfing and trying to get inspirations for my next DIY project, as well as instructions.  I decided that I would go to the local Restore in town and see what I could find.  I am glad that I did.  I picked up a couple of pieces at a steal.  A desk and chair for Faith's room (for ONLY $20)

The plan is to sand it all down ( the desk is in great shape), but you still need to sand it down lightly to get the primer to adhere.  I will then remove the lower drawer, which I am not fond of in terms of it's design.  I will then have to build a unit inside the desk where the shelf used to be (I know add to the project).  It will then all be painted white with new hardware.  Stay tuned.
