Timber and MDF were used to create a fluted bathroom vanity and save money in the process.
The project
We wanted a feature vanity without the huge price tag, so we decided to make one.
Steps
Step 1
Rip the 900mm panel down the centre to give approximately 2 x 445mm pieces. Mitre cut the ends to the other panel to your desired size. We made ours 1500mm long and 500mm in height.
Step 2
Glue and screw all the pieces together to create a box. We used nails and glue at the top to avoid seeing the screw holes.
Step 3
Install the 110 x 35mm rail at the back of the vanity. This gives it the ability to be wall hung. Sand and seal using the desired stain.
Step 4
Measure and cut your door backings to suit the cabinet, allowing enough clearance for the hinges. Glue and trim the Cirque pieces onto the MDF backings and install doors to cabinet - adjust/trim as necessary.
Step 5
Sand and seal the doors, install some handles and it's ready to hang on the wall. Install your basin.
