  8. Vanity??????? 
Being a fan of the listsssss, you can see what's next to come. We are almost there so just stick with me for this little bit of bathroom bliss that is left.
Vanity, storage, mirror, there is none of this. Jared destroyed it all when the whole little bathroom had to be built from the bottom up again. So what better to do then MAKE our OWN CUSTOM VANITY! YAYA FOR CRAFTY BOYFRIENDS!!!!

Being the handy boy that he is, Jared decided to build us a vanity that suited the size of the bathroom we had. The original was a little large and actually was built around the tub, like half sitting on the tub, kinda get it? ... well thats how it was. A little weird-o, right. TO actually go out and buy some cabinet and sink combo that we liked, agreed on and actually fit, would be a bit of a challenge as well as pretty much the same price as it would be for Jared to put in his own.  
Here is what we were thinking:


A vessel sink on top of a vanity 3 1/2 feet tall by 2 feet wide or so. The bottom doors will be on grooves to slide back with 3 drawers on the left side and a larger area on the right where the pluming will go through and connect. 
And back to work Jared went. 




Ran in to a few sizing issues along the way, but hey it's ok.... 3 down to 2 drawers and but thats really all. The doors are covered with white laminate. This is so it is easier to keep clean with the opening and closing with make up fingers, and it's better in a humid area. 



With the doors all covered with the white laminate, We decided to choose a faux wood style of laminate for the outer shell as well as the top surface to go along with the wood trim that we have around the bathroom tile. 

And the finished product turned out AHH MAZING! 


So  now we will take our last trip down memory lane...

Before:


After:



And there you have it! A little unorganized, but thats life. 
Thanks for sticking around for this true life bathroom saga! 
Till next times!
