How to Build a Bathroom Vanity with Off Center Sink and Fluted Detail
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 июн 2024
- Hey friends, let's build a bathroom vanity with fluted drawer fronts and doors, an off center sink, and a countertop cabinet--all in one video!
Not going to lie, I think this may be my favorite project of all time. The fluted detail is pretty cool and the fact that this is going into my bathroom (so I made it for keeps!) is probably what makes me love it so much.
So I hope you love watching it come together as much as I enjoyed building it!

Shara, I honestly have to say this is the most beautiful piece you've built. Not taking away anything from the former furniture you've made, but the craftsmanship and attention to detail gave this piece a blue ribbon. Have a great weekend. Steve
Thank you so much for the kind words! This one definitely had a lot of little details haha, but I really enjoyed adding that fluted trim. I appreciate you watching and hope you have an amazing weekend as well!
It's an absolute beaut! Lovely job, and thank you as always for the inspiration ❤
Absolutely agree 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
You really are enriching others lifestyle ❤❤❤❤.
I’m planning a dresser build and vanity/ tower build because of what I’m learning❤❤❤❤
I honestly started to question this build at the beginning, but you knocked this outta the park! I just couldn't see how extraordinary this piece would come together! It's truly a masterpiece, Shara, and thanks for sharing it with us! 👏👏👏
To be honest, me too because I did not have a plan going into building it 🙈🤣 but a piece at a time and it started coming together. So glad you enjoyed it!
I appreciate you watching and hope you have an amazing weekend! 😎
@@WoodshopDiaries Well, you should be extremely proud! Have an awesome weekend!
Absolute master piece. I couldn't even imagine what a vanity of this quality would cost to purchase. Looking forward to seeing the finished bathroom.
You’re so kind. Thank you! I’m hoping to share the updated bathroom soon but I keep procrastinating because I don’t want to patch the drywall after I tear out the closet 🙈😆
Wow, this cabinet is the most beautiful cabinet ever. Your woodworking skills are amazing.❤
So glad you enjoyed it! I appreciate you watching and hope you have a wonderful weekend!
I can only imagine how long this piece took to build, but I have to say that you are an inspiration for woodworkers everywhere with the simplistic way you go about your assembly. Not the super complicated methods others use.
That vanity is freakin GORGEOUS!!! 🥰🥰
Thank you so much! I can’t wait to get it installed! Thanks so much for watching! 😊
I'm so glad i found your channel, it's the only woodwork i watch keep up the good work, big ❤ from South Africa.
So happy you enjoy the videos! I appreciate you watching! Have a great weekend!
Shara, thank you for these videos! They are inspiring and useful. I really appreciate the time you put into them and the detail you share along the way!
You're so kind! So glad you enjoy them!
This is the vanity that I will build for my spare bathroom. Thank you.
Awesome! Happy building! 🙌🔨
Well, I can certainly see why you've been so pumped to show this project off. That's some beautiful red oak, and your creative use of the fluted trim casing (both as drawer/door front inserts and trim details) really makes the design stand out! There's just something about natural wood grain that really says "high-end"😌... love me some oak furniture. I also liked the eclectic mix of joinery techniques. That's going to look great in your bathroom (hope we get a peek at the finished product!) P.S. 11:40 there's no such thing as a "bad" time for a pet break🐕🐈.
Thank you! I really enjoyed this one (even though it did feel like it was never ending at times haha). I’ll have to share it again (maybe in a short) once installed. I dread doing the drywall work on that 🙈😆
I actually had two clips of Bubs bringing live mice into the shop that I ended up cutting out before posting 🤣 I didn’t want anyone to get mad about it, but I’m going to make a short of that and share it because it was quite funny 🤣
Thanks so much for watching this week and I hope you have a wonderful weekend! 😎
This is a beautiful piece of art work you’ve designed and built! I really appreciate your creativity and ability to share your step by step process. Plus, you always explain the minor mistakes you make and how to avoid and correct them. Please don’t apologize for your camera work! You do a great job! So glad to see Bubs and Lou got a little attention! Again this is an amazingly beautiful piece of work. I hope you all have a nice weekend!
Thank you so much! I so appreciate you watching and following along. And I’m so glad you enjoy seeing the shop pets here and there 😊 I cut two clips of bubs brining live mice into the shop because the video was already so long 🙈 but they were an entertaining bunch while building this project.
Anyway, thank you so much for your kind words and I hope you have an amazing weekend! 🙌😎
This vanity looks amazing! Adding the fluted trim pieces was a great idea. Gives the Vanity a vintage retro look. Well done👍🏾
You’re always the best at planning your scrap and cutoffs to be useful for something else! 🙌🏻
I’m not the best I’m sure 😅 but I try! I just hate keeping things but I also hate throwing them away 🤣 so I try and use up what I can. Thanks so much for watching and I hope you have a great weekend!
I would NEVER think of red oak for a bathroom vanity and yet, here we are with a beautiful, modern, but timeless, vanity!
So glad you enjoyed it! 🙌 thank you!
Ok thats awesome. I really like the cabinet on top and the glass door and the color is perfect. 3 top coats, with all that fluting, you are better than me ha
Thank you! Haha the finish with the fluting was a labor of love 😆 it took some patience but was worth it. Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
DIY Dani needs your help! She has some drawers to build 😂
Wind has been real crazy lately
😊😊😊😊😊 what nice looking lumber do not see any knots anywhere must make the project flow a lot easier can't wait to see the end project
Thank you! I actually look for the knots and strategically place them where they’ll be seen. I like them-gives some character haha. But this lumber had very few. But there was enough grain to still give it some character 😍
Why thank you for getting back to me so fast we really appreciate it we hope you have a great day until the next video I'll see you then
I Love how well you explain and uncomplicate this process, after searching through dozens of videos on RUclips, I am so happy to have found a woman doing it. It is empowering. Thanks for sharing, Shara.
Astonishing piece of beauty and that doesn't even come close to the explanation. great choice of wood you used. Can't wait to see it installed in its rightful place. Thank you for sharing this masterpiece.
Look beautiful
Thank you so much! I appreciate you watching! 💕
This is absolutely gorgeous! I've been struggling with finding the right look for the vainty in my guest bathroom, and I really must thank you, because I've found a lot of inspiration in this video! Both the style and the color is so outside my usual aesthetic, but it will compliment the space I'm working with so perfectly! I'll admit, I was a bit upset when you started staining such an already beautiful red oak, but seeing how it looks as a finished product, you absolutely 110% made the right call, and it's beautiful!
Thank you very much for this video! Happy to say I'll be poking that Subscribe button right after posting this comment!
Hey from Australia Shara,
I absolutely love this piece of furniture, it's gorgeous - like all your videos, thanks for sharing your skills in our craft 🤍
Beautiful looking vanity, Shara! Great looking piece and a very nice design. It'll be a nice upgrade to your existing bathroom. Keep up the good work.
I don't know if it's my internet, but the quality of this video is incredible and feels like the best I've experienced. New camera? I appreciate the hardwood vs plywood. Nice to mix it up. As someone with a bathroom remodel in my future, I'd love to see the demo/rebuild/installation of this. Would be a fun journey to follow along with.
Thank you! I accidentally filmed my last three videos in 4k and I keep forgetting to switch my camera back. Same old camera as always. Just hit the wrong (maybe the right? 😆) button. Glad you enjoyed it!
I hate filming inside the house. It’s always cramped and the camera is in the way. But…I may make a Yt short video of it because it would be fun to share a quick glimpse! I just have to get motivated to patch this drywall first 😅
I only build basic things and although I'm not anywhere near ready to build something like this, your videos are demystifying the process. This vanity is absolutely stunning and I really appreciate you and your channel. Subscribed!
You are incredibly talented. The joinery and detail are awesome. I've never had any luck with using dowels for cabinet doors, but you made it look effortless!
Wow this is the most beautiful piece you've built so far!! STUNNING!😍😍
Love this vanity you are an amazing woodworker❤❤
You’re so kind! I’m not sure that I’m amazing haha, but I appreciate that 💕 thank you for watching!
Wow! You've come a long way! I remember watching your cabinet build with canning on the doors years ago. Thanks for sharing.
Wow! Looks amazing. I have been following you since the beginning and boy has your workshop come a long way. Jealous!
Everything you make is always so perfect! I told my husband that sometimes I get lost with the lingo, but you make it fun to just learn. Thank you for taking the time to share the pieces you build. I aspire to be even half as talented as you.❤
This is absolutely beautiful!
Thank you! 💕 I’m so excited with how it turned out. I appreciate you watching!
That's a great looking vanity. I will be remodeling our main bath this year and this build has given me some ideas
Thank you! So happy to hear it gave you some inspiration 🙌 happy building/remodeling! 🔨😎
Could you do a “secrets to maximum productivity in woodworking” video showing your work flow and include specifics of how you keep your shop so tidy? And maybe also how fast you work. Like do you do a certain amount of work every day or do you have a time chunk that you “work” each day? Would be cool if you took a specific future project and made a video regarding this side of it (and same build us for another video with the build details as usual).
That’s a great idea! But, half of the process and time spent is in literally just filming it and not actually working on building the project. And I’m not really sure that’s what you’re wanting to know. My secret to maximum productivity would be to ditch the camera 🤣
Wonderful piece. The fluting looks fantastic. Glad you decided to use in on the cabinet doors.
Looks really good. I like the drawer fronts and doors. The fluted design is perfect. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for your inspiration and now I have encouragement to keep trying. I love that you are detailed and you show what is going on with detail and I am thankful for your honesty and I am going to keep going and trying. Thanks you again.
Another work of art, nice one mate.
Thank you so much! I appreciate you watching!
It’s beautiful. You should be very proud of yourself. Well done!
Beautiful work. You gave me some ideas on how to build an additional towel storage in my bathroom.
Awesome--I'm so glad it gave you some inspiration! Thank you so much for watching and happy building!
Very nice job. Really like the way it turned out.
I appreciate that! Thanks so much for watching and have a great weekend!
Nice build!
Thank you so much! I hope you have a great weekend!
Extra Shara🤩 Perfect Woman 😍🥰
Haha thank you for watching! Have a great weekend!
Your sinking camera was actually very dynamic and interesting. It really elevated the shot :D
If only all my camera bloopers were happy accidents 🤣
I am just getting a chance to watch this build and I can honestly this is one of your most impressive builds. Not just for the beauty of the vanity but also for the innovative methods you used such as the molding for the drawer and door fronts. All in all this is just a fantastic build and I can see why it is your favorite. Thanks for sharing this.
That looks great... Your talents continue to grow... God bless you and yours...
You’re so kind. Thank you and may God bless you and yours as well 💕
The info on the hinges is a great surprise. I am building a bath cabinet and one door is inset with/ face frame and one is frameless. I was thinking I would have to install a large block too. Thank you for the link. Very well done. So much better quality than what you can find retail. Note: the link for the frameless hinges takes you to the drawer slides. 🤭
This looks so good. I really like the fluted red oak. It’s a great finishing touch.
That is a beautiful vanity and cabinet. Thank you for sharing, and the tip about fluting.
Outstanding work, turned out fantastic! Love the design and the video was a joy to watch. Love all your builds, already looking forward to the next one. Thank you very much for posting!!
At the beginning I was like, hmm personal bathroom with plywood and edge banding ..no thank you. Then you pulled out all that Oak lol...yep ! that's the way to do it. Great build!
Thank you! My current bathroom vanity (in my main bathroom) and my last three in previous homes were made with birch plywood and I’d not hesitate to do it again
Excellent work!! I love how the drawer fronts turned out. You are very creative and talented -- love your channel!
This is a beautiful vanity! I will figure out how to build a 36" wide version of it for my powder room. Thank you!😊
All your cabinet building video's are awesome!!!This one is super beautiful:) Nice work, Shara!!!
Wow absolutely amazing work Shara truly love the look of this vanity the oak looks amazing but the drawer fronts make this peace look so amazing. Great job can’t wait to see it installed. Thanks for sharing keep up the great work.
This turned out very nice, I like what you did with the drawers.
You make it look so easy ugh. Lol i love this you do such good work, I'm honestly always impressed
WOW - amazing ❤
So glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much for watching!
As usual perfect one of the things I do whenever I'm doing inset doors I run a 1 1/4 strip right across the inside frame to stop the doors, like I said perfect build love it
Spectacular, Shara! ❤️
Stunning. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much for watching! Have a wonderful weekend!
Wow, that's a beautiful vanity! Turning the flutes vertical was an unexpected move and gives the piece a super high-end look. You have a fantastic eye for design.
Good job
Gorgeous! Nice work.
Thank you so much! I appreciate you watching and hope you have a great weekend!
Well done, beautiful and functional pieces of furniture.
This is one of the finest projects that I have seen you make. I look forward to seeing your creativity on the remaining vanities.
Thanks so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Can't wait to share the next ones! Have a wonderful weekend 😎
Shara, I truly need to thank you. I went thru many of your videos and finally able to build bench at my breakfast area. It turned out awesome. I consider myself as below beginner. I went thru all the tools (most of) and brought them and started. You deserve my heartfelt gratitude and I mean it. I am not sure, how I can share my work picture.
It surely is my favourite !
beautiful you'r a genius
So glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much for watching!
Love this vanity and attached cabinet. Great job!
Thats a great build. Looks really good. Tahnks for creating chapters on your video, I don’t get to watch these videos all the way through, and the chapters make it so much easier. I know it is a lot of extra work.
Thanks so much for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed it and I hope you have an amazing weekend!
love it, I have some clients who would like to use this in their bathroom. Looks stunning. Great work.!!
I would agree, it is my fav of your projects!
This build is amazing! So well done! I like how you used the cutoffs of the fluted boards as trim - nothing goes to waste. Fantastic job, as always! And I see that, as of today, you are almost to a quarter million subscribers. Very well deserved. :)
Thank you! 🙌 the cutoffs worked perfect-happy accident haha. Also, you’re right-almost to 250! I hadn’t checked in a while and didn’t realize it was so close 😅 thank you so much for watching and following along. I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
maybe one day u can make a video with full tutorial in how to make a floating bathroom vanity with 3 drawers ...need to build one to replace a long vanity wich is very old..i want to go more "modern" farm house style but i do not have any idea in how to make one, how to attach it to the wall so the vanity can support the weight of the long large piece of granite. I may do it in two parts to be able to buy remmanents so it will be cheaper and make something like the tower u did in this video...need cheap, easy to build for a non carpenter vintage old female...thank you for educating us...so much appreciated. Ps. for my other bathroom who still in ruins since Harvey hit Houston about 8 years ago I purchased an antique dresser that i need to cut down to make it the perfect height...
Very impressive cabinet making skills!
Probably your best detailed work. Putting a chamfer on the legs before dragging them across the concrete is a good idea.
Stunning vanity, Shara! It turned out amazing! 😃
Really well done!!!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed it :) I hope you and yours have a wonderful weekend!
Love this vanity 😊. I will definately build something similar. I enjoy watching your videos every week as they are so full of great tips and ideas and you explain things so well. Thank you for sharing what you do and i look forward to what ever you have in store for us next 😊
What a fabulous job you've done, l need to replace a drab wall hung basin in my new house and this wii be my go to video for the project
Having only recently found your excellent channel, I will be making a full bedroom set in November, not my first build but was looking for ideas. Keep up the great videos 👍😁
Awesome job
Thank you so much! I appreciate you watching and hope you have a wonderful weekend!
Shara, Wow! I think you used all the tools and all the techniques you've been sharing with us on this one. Very impressive and a spectacular result. You even had Lucy and Bub's in here for a few moments. I feel my heart racing with excitement and after it slows down a bit I'm going to have to watch this one again! I cut and rolled my lawn here on Monday and it snowed this Friday. So I got plenty of projects started but then stalled some in my unheated shop. Wishing you a great weekend. Thanks for Sharing!
Lucy and Bubs were a big help for this build haha! Bubs actually brought two live mice into the shop while I was working and I had to cut that footage from the video 😂🙈 That wasn't helpful, but it was...eventful. I hope the weather warms up for you and there's no snow in the foreseeable forecast soon! We hit another cold snap last week, but thankfully we avoided snow. Hoping spring is here to stay now! Thanks so much for watching and I hope you have a great weekend!
This is a work of art. It’s a beautiful design and I love your idea of using the fluted trim on the drawers and doors.
Thank you so much! That fluted detail is my absolutely favorite part! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
That vanity is amazing! Just a stunning design. Love the chunky look of the legs and the fluting on the doors and drawers looks beautiful. I copied the vanity design of another female DIYer last year, but I wish I had seen this one before I built that one. I'm 100% going to build your vanity one day. I just bought a t-shirt from your merch shop to support your channel. Cheers!
Ahh thank you so much for the support of my small business! I truly appreciate that and hope you enjoy the new tee!
So glad you enjoyed the design and the video. Thank you so much for watching and I hope you have an amazing weekend!
turned out great.you are awsome!
You’re so kind. Thank you for watching and have a great weekend!
Very nice job. Awesome.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate you watching and hope you have a wonderful weekend!
This my favorite build of yours so far!
You are so clever it’s beautiful and it’s unique
This is gorgeous. Wish you were near me and could build one for my bathroom.
That was so smart using the cutoffs from the fluted trim to frame around the finished panels. So resourceful! Great work
Another great job Shara. You make it so simple and not intimidating, keep it up.
Thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed it!
Turned out really nice! Great job!
Well done, you are really professional!
This turned out so amazing Shara!!! I love how unusual it is with the fluted fronts. It's great that you came up with a way to use the edges from the fluted boards to frame the fluted pieces on the drawers/doors. Nothing went to waste. It's great you're keeping this since you went to the trouble of making the solid wood panels and it's so beautiful. Had to laugh at Bubby walking across the wood as you're gluing it. Has he ever walked through the glue and tracked it across a project? I can picture him doing that. Lucy looked like she was enjoying the build also. Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing your creativity!
Well composed video, to the point. Covered everything, one needs to know. Very educational, very artistic. And the build is sublime.
Beautiful design
Very good!
Thank you so much! I appreciate you watching!
This could be the most beautiful vanity I have ever seen! Well done.
