Three years ago or so we renovated the basement bathroom. Part of the reno was to build a vanity and a small cabinet to store bath stuff (soap, shampoo, etc). That was all done within the time frame set by the boss but I seemed to never be able to get to last item, an alcove. So we had a hole in the wall for three years. Now we don’t anymore and I can post pictures of the finished product.
Built in the craftsman style the vanity is made from birch veneer plywood and solid birch with a granite tile counter top. The small cabinet is solid maple, so is the mirror frame. The alcove is birch veneer plywood and solid maple. The finish on all pieces starts with a mix of Brown Walnut and Light Sheraton Mahogany aniline dyes (Lee Valley) to give the wood a fairly dark reddish-brown base. Then I applied Old Master’s Dark Walnut gel stain. Top coat is lacquer (nitrocellulose or water based depending on the piece).

I really like the look of these. Making the vanity look like a piece of furniture, looks really good.

Very Nice! I really like the style you have come up on these.
What was your source on those wonderfully thick tiles?

I got them at a local floor covering store but I know they came from Benissimo: http://www.benissimosystems.com/default.aspx

The second I saw this I said, “that’s what I have been looking for”. I want to upgrade the vanity in one of our bathrooms. This is exactly what I had in mind.
It’s a great design and excellent workmanship.
Thank you for posting,
