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!
