I have been focused on getting the master bathroom done, but in the meantime the bunkroom bathroom is also slowly progressing. Since this is really a kid bathroom, I was not interested in spending a lot of money on the fixtures. I assume that they will be beaten down like every other kid thing. Given that criteria, I am very proud of this vanity! The vanity itself is made up of Ikea drawers and laminate countertop. The MALM drawers are normally $79.99 but I think I got them for $69.99. While I was there buying the drawers I found a discontinued countertop for $20. Wow! The mirrors are also Ikea mirrors, I think they were $29 each. The lights, sinks and faucets were purchased online for an average price. The countertop was a little deep so we ended up cutting 4 inches off the back to make it a little more shallow. That 4 inches became the backsplash! (although I will likely add some mosaic tile too). Even with the 4 inches gone the drawers were pulled away from the wall a few inches (partly to accommodate a drain pipe). I will need to find a way to fill that gap. The top of the drawers is available since it was removed before placing the countertop, maybe I will cut that up. I plan to spray paint the drain pipes either a metallic color or a dark color, not sure which yet.
Not a bad vanity for under $100! I don't expect it to last forever, but for a few years it will do nicely!
