| This is the original vanity. The cabinet was made out of particle board. I planned to completely re-do the front and the sides out of wood and to also change the set up from three doors to two doors and two drawers. |
| All the light fixtures I bought at about 75% discount from Lowes. Some of the models they discontinued and others they decided to make available only for special order. The timing was perfect. I filled my car with beautiful light fixtures for the entire house. |

| The addition glued and gun nailed. The white patches are from the caulking I used to cover the nail holes. It didn't bother me as I planned to refinish the entire frame. |
| This mirror I purchased with $30.00 but the frame looked too thin. I decided to add to the frame a border I removed from the original shower. |
| Finished countertop. |
| I first sanded the laminate finish with a large grit sand paper so the thinset could adhere to the surface, then I laid travertine tiles on top. The onyx vessel sinks I purchased for only $75.00 each (I bought three of them). They were discounted after being refused by the customers for having a few fillers. Personally I can barely tell the fillers and do not bother me. This sink I decided to install as a drop-in sink instead of a vessel so I could easier wash my pups if they only had an accident. |

| Finished vanity. I didn't like how the glaze turned out and ended doing a crackle finish. |
| It didn't bother me to use different types of wood as I planned to paint it in a solid color and glaze. I was excited about finally having drawers! |
| I started by replacing the sides, then I rebuilt the front. It is now much more sturdier and no longer subject to get damaged by water. |
