If you want a new look in the bathroom, start by looking outside the bathroom. An old piece of furniture can be changed into a great-looking vanity with just a few minor alterations. Here, we’ll show you how we gave new life to this old table.

In this home center world, it can be difficult to find something unique for your home. This is especially true for the bathroom, where many of today’s factory-built vanity options look an awful lot alike.

One way to break out of that mold is to use a conventional piece of furniture, such as a dresser, sideboard, or table, in an unconventional way — by turning it into a vanity.
Creating a “reclaimed” vanity offers a lot of advantages. You get a one-of-a-kind look that just can’t be duplicated by any store-bought item. Since you’re reusing a piece that would otherwise probably end up in a landfill, it’s also a “greener” way to improve your home. What’s more, the conversion is fairly straightforward: Usually it just takes a few minor alterations to accommodate the sink and plumbing.
For our own reclaimed vanity, we went with a vast departure from the typical look by using an antique table. As you can see as above we did a number of things to make this table
more “vanity-like,” such as installing a modern-looking sink and faucet, removing the back legs in order to mount the vanity directly against the wall, cutting a section off the tabletop to make a backsplash, and creating a unique painted finish for the legs.
Here, we’ll give you an in-depth look at our bathroom vanity transformation. Then you can use these same ideas and techniques on a different piece of furniture to create your own one-of-a-kind vanity.
The first consideration for reclaiming a vanity is, of course, finding the right piece of furniture. Good places to look include flea markets, architectural salvage stores, antique stores, garage sales, and the Habitat for Humanity ReStore if your community has one.
Once you’ve selected your piece, you’ll want to pick out a sink and faucet, as well as any accessories, to go along with it. There are a couple of lines of thinking here: If you go with an older piece of furniture, you might want to choose a traditional-looking sink and faucet style to complement it.
Another interesting approach is to select modern fixtures to contrast with the antique style of the vanity. We chose a contemporary sink and faucet to go with our old table, to interesting effect.
From Table to Vanity — We came across this table at a local antique store. It may look beat-up to some, but our project designer saw potential in the weathered patina. Paired with a sink from Decolav and a faucet from Price Pfister, he knew it would create
perfect blend of classic and contemporary for our bathroom makeover.
Check the Size — With any vanity conversion project, one of the first steps is to determine if you need to cut the legs or top of your furniture piece to reduce the height or depth. We needed to reduce the depth. It worked out great to use the cutoff portion of the top as a backsplash behind the sink
