A good carpenter can easily adapt a vintage chest for use as a bathroom vanity. This charmingly painted, country style two-door commode lent itself especially well to the task because the paneled apron above the doors eliminated reworking drawer fronts. The painted rim on the top frames the sink, and ties into the black diamond motifs on the doors. Funny how those details count.

As conversions go, this one looks relatively easy. While a less than supernally elegant rimmed sink was used (and I won’t insult the faucets in public), it was simply dropped into the cut out on top, and fitted up through the back so the drain doesn’t show.

The advantage of using an old piece is obvious from the photo but a chest of any vintage could be easily “aged” with paint and glaze, or sanded down to become sleekly moderne. If the style works, the rest is up to you. (Source: Internet)
