Remember this vanity? Spotted at Blackberry Farm by Granny Smith Green? And how I thought that I Wes and I could make it?
Here is further proof that it can be done, thanks to a Decorno reader who offered it as an alternative to pricey washstand-style vanities (love those, too). This is the Hollviken sink from Ikea, and a base built and stained by the architect who helped the homeowner with the renovation. I prefer the deeper apron and addition of the stone base on the version at Blackberry Farm, but the basic idea is the same.
For a stone remnant, I'd try a salvage yard. Locally, we have Southeastern Salvage, which specializes in close-out and liquidation building materials. What do you think? Worth the trouble?
Yes it is worth the trouble! I think it looks great and is so unique. How is that bathroom coming, I don't remember a finished bathroom post.
ReplyDeleteWell, my style is more like the second picture, with the contrasting colors, and modern feel.
ReplyDeleteI definitely think this is worth the trouble though. You'll be glad/relieved/proud if you did!
Girl - I LOOOOVE Southeastern Salvage...sure I could do without the naked african lady statues but we try to hit up that joint everytime we are in Chatty :)
ReplyDeleteAnd yes - I am drooling over those sinks...I think you could totally do it!
Yes, worth the trouble. Can't wait to see what you come up with.
ReplyDeleteOn another note- I have a good friend looking to get rid of a double mattress and box spring. Don't know what she would want for it. I didn't know what size you needed for your guest room....
Do it! I think you both could come up with something great!
ReplyDeleteIs the master bath finished? And we would love the see the rug!
Yes, worth the trouble! That penny tile in the second pic is also pretty great.
ReplyDeleteSo worth it. I love it!
ReplyDeleteso worth the trouble!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see what you do.
What a beautiful bathroom, it looks like a great project. I cant wait to see what you come up with!
