Design Image: 

The design for this vanity stemmed from my frustrations in searching for a modern vanity that had any storage space. The entire piece was constructed of basic red oak lumber and red oak veneer plywood with a 2x infrastructure using standard shop tools. It was stained with multiple coats of an espresso finish stain and then sprayed with a top coat to seal it up. The top is suspended from the sides by short steel rods and holes are cut in it for the sink and faucet. The bottom of the vanity contains what I call "storage coves" that each hold a roll or rolls of toilet paper in the back and then a towel or wash cloths rolled up in the front. This turned out to be the perfect storage solution to make up for not having a linen closet and the towels are able to act as a design element rather than looking like something that has to be there. The design can be modified with an enclosed front if desired and just about any type of storage configuration can be built into this vanity by making only minor modifications to the design plans. The top is versatile enough to fit a wide variety of sinks and faucets that someone might want to use. It was the first piece of furniture attempted by the amateur craftsman and I don't think I've ever seen anything so perfect. All in all this design ended up turning into a practical piece of modern furniture that has character and is unique.
