Our main floor powder room need to have a makeover. Oak doors on the vanity are very tired looking so I am looking for ideas on what to do with them.

Should I just make a new vanity? Sand and put some new Verathane on the doors? Paint them?

Anyone have some helpful advice?

Cheers…Don

You could also just make new doors and reface (veneer) the face frames of the existing cabinet… a good easy approach to freshen up a room.

I have made new doors for our guest bathroom. Relatively easy and fast way to spiff any room.

When you made new doors, did you try to match the existing frame colour/stain or did you redo the whole thing?

In order to give a new look and feel in your bathroom, you do not require a complete makeover. By changing the paint could really play a key role in transforming your bathroom. Adding up a couple of modern fixtures and affordable fixtures and bathroom vanities could make the difference at your place as you get these cabinets at affordable prices. How do you like this?

The much anticipated picture!! (or not) :)

The bathroom will be repainted and the vanity will either be replaced or refinished with a new sink and fixtures as well…..
