Building the Powder Room Vanity

This weekend I knocked out the entire vanity construction! It’s a pretty simple design, a floating box with slab doors that will get screwed to the wall. To start I constructed the box part out of ¾” pine boards. Then I cut the doors and drilled out the holes for the hinges. 

From there I filled holes, sanding it all down and gave it a coat of oil based primer. This will hopefully stop bleed through from the knots in the pine. I plan to paint it a navy blue, but will do that once it is installed.

And now we know: this was a simple construction; it is really fast to build something so minimalist. Also don’t prime outside when trees are dropping a ton of leafy stuff. It will get stuck in your paint.
