Elements of Big Style in a Small Space: DIY Custom Vanity and Sink

I’m sure you may have caught a glimpse of the unique vanity and sink in my mom’s bathroom.

These contemporary top-of-counter bowl style sinks have been popular for quite a while and the trend is growing on me. 

She updated the vanity with new hardware:

And when she couldn’t find a countertop that she liked (and that was in her budget for this small space), she made her own!  This is just a piece of plywood painted brown, and several coats of laquer were added to waterproof it.

The possibilities for this type of countertop are endless!  What a great way to customize your space without spending a lot of money.  It’s been several years, and the countertop has held up beautifully.

I’ll be sharing with Transformation Thursday.
