Master bath vanity re-do

I guess we're officially in a bit of a "house refurbishment mode"..... We're just running through the thought process of "what do we need to do before the flooring installers arrive?" Anything involving paint near the floor or messy projects should be done ahead of time!

I've pretty much always  been ambivalent about our master bath double sink.  It was standard issue in 1994....formica counter tops....oak cabinets.  And, by the way, our furniture has always been dark cherry.  I have no idea why we didn't choose a different cabinet - but this is the same style that was in the hallway bathroom (replaced ages ago.)



So, it needed a major overhaul. 

Disconnected the plumbing and used a crowbar to remove the side splashes. 




New, single piece vanity top.  (Like Corian - faux granite).  It was too wide for the opening, so we had to cut the sheetrock and notch the studs to wedge it very snuggly in place.







Original Moen faucets were in good shape so we decided to clean them up and reuse....

First pass at mudding the sheetrock repair.  Also decided to paint the cabinet off-white to match the walls.





Sheetrock repairs done - primer paint.



All done!!  Painted the whole room with off-white semi-gloss paint.   Very happy with the little upgrade!  (Page back to the top of this post and compare the "before" photo....)
