Build Your Own Bathroom Vanity

A bathroom vanity is a great way to add style and functionality to your bathroom. It can provide storage for your toiletries, as well as a place to get ready in the morning. Building your own bathroom vanity is a relatively easy project that can be completed in a weekend. Here are the steps on how to build your own bathroom vanity:

Step 1: Gather your materials

You will need the following materials to build your own bathroom vanity:

1 sheet of 3/4-inch plywood
1 sheet of 1/2-inch plywood
2 1x4s, 8 feet long
2 1x6s, 8 feet long
1 1/4-inch thick piece of countertop material (such as marble, granite, or quartz)
1 sink
1 faucet
4 cabinet knobs or pulls
Wood screws
Construction adhesive
Caulk

Step 2: Cut the wood

Cut the 3/4-inch plywood to the following dimensions:

2 pieces, 24 inches wide x 30 inches high
1 piece, 24 inches wide x 18 inches high
2 pieces, 18 inches wide x 18 inches high

Cut the 1/2-inch plywood to the following dimensions:

2 pieces, 23 inches wide x 17 inches high
1 piece, 17 inches wide x 17 inches high

Cut the 1x4s and 1x6s to the following dimensions:

4 1x4s, 24 inches long
4 1x4s, 18 inches long
2 1x6s, 24 inches long
2 1x6s, 18 inches long

Step 3: Assemble the cabinet

Start by assembling the sides of the cabinet. Attach the two 24-inch wide x 30-inch high pieces of plywood to the two 24-inch wide x 18-inch high pieces of plywood using wood screws. Next, attach the two 18-inch wide x 18-inch high pieces of plywood to the sides to form the back of the cabinet. Reinforce the joints with construction adhesive.

Once the sides of the cabinet are assembled, attach the bottom piece of plywood to the bottom of the cabinet using wood screws. Next, attach the two 1/2-inch plywood pieces to the inside of the cabinet to form the shelves. Reinforce the joints with construction adhesive.

Step 4: Install the countertop

Place the countertop on top of the cabinet and center it. Secure the countertop to the cabinet using construction adhesive. Once the countertop is secure, caulk the joint between the countertop and the cabinet.

Step 5: Install the sink and faucet

Cut a hole in the countertop for the sink. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for installing the sink. Once the sink is installed, attach the faucet to the sink and tighten the connections. Caulk around the base of the faucet to prevent leaks.
