Matching Bathroom Vanities Matching Bathroom Vanities Matching Bathroom Vanities Click the pictures to enlarge them

We did a pair of his and hers bathroom vanities with a beautiful veneer. Called Cinnamon Laurel Burl, it is a great looking wood. We got it from Certainly Woods, out of New York.

The designs came from Tommi at K Gallery Art and Design. Her work is a joy to build, due to the great looking designs she comes up with.

The sheet goods are Mahogany furniture grade plywood, the solid wood is Mahogany, and they work well with the veneer color.

They are reverse images of each other, and sit at opposite sides of the room , with a whirlpool tub between them.

The construction technique is pretty straight forward. The only difference is the need for secondary sides to allow for the scrolls.

The bun feet make it look more like furniture than bathroom vanities.

The finish, conversion varnish, was done by my partner, Bruce Driscoll, as always. His training as a professional finisher comes in pretty handy. Actually, thinking back, I believe he built them as well, long with my stepson, Evan.

You guys really produce some beautiful work, Lee. I really appreciate how open you are with the details and suggestions too. You’re kinda like that “big brother”, which is exactly what an amatuer woodchipper like myself needs. Now I gotta go redesign my bathroom!

Did you do anything different with the finish due to the bathroom humidy? Thanks for sharing!

Thank You Max.

Anyone doubting there’s a God, should look at this wood!

This is the veneer that Leer Jets wanted to buy from us for their jet interiors!!

Hello Dadoo;

Two things;

1. If your anything like me, you’ll have plenty of time to sit there and think about the design. LOL

2. Like a big brother, without the getting beat up part. (at least that’s what I remember most about my big brother).

Thanks,

Lee

Hi Roger;

No, that was the purpose of the conversion varnish. It with stands all kinds of difficult conditions.

Hi Charlie,

As this is the designer with the stone carver husband, they are hand carved stone with a recessed bowl.

I’ll have to dig out and post the rest of the bathroom. Tommi did the french plaster, and her husband did hand carved limestone columns at the tub.

Hi Phil;

Bruce has a “recipe book” that matches the color samples we have. He mixes his own stains and dyes, and won’t tell me how, for job security reasons.

I told you the guy is smart! LOL

And you say two, mirror matched units with a whirlpool tub in between them? WOW – I like their restraint!

Lee, another awesome piece. You say ”Anyone doubting there’s a God…” Well, I’m sure you don’t doubt – with a client like this you must think you’ve died and gone to heaven.

Spectacular! Love the way the veneer pops out and accents the drawers and cabinet doors. Tell, Bruce Driscoll and Evan that they did an excellent job.

Hi Ellen;

Thank you very much for your kind words!

We spend a great deal of time on the portions part of a project, and I appreciate your noticing.

Usually it goes unnoticed, unless it’s wrong. Then a blind man on a galloping horse can see it. (hope that’s politically correct)
