DIY Bathroom Vanity Makeover: You Won't Believe the Difference!

[@LQOTW]

I'm scared to death of taking on this project but if I watch this enough times I may be able to take it on in small increments. I have the same builder's grade cabinets in my bathrooms and desperately want to change them. I love what the Kingstons did with theirs. That makeover was gorgeous!

[@TheKingstonHome]

YOU GOT THIS!!!!!!!! Seriously...working with Nieu Cabinets was a dream. Their customer service was amazing, the color match was PERFECT, and just having to refinish the base of the cabinet instead of the doors (with all the nooks and crannies) was super easy. You can do it!!!!!

[@theresamccarter1124]

I want to be *exactly* like theKingstons! Not afraid to try new things, make mistakes, and love every minute of it!

[@TheKingstonHome]

girl you are too kind!!

Another helpful (fairly inexpensive) tool to assist with removing items is a flexible drill bit extender. It makes your drill easy to use to in tight situations.

[@jackieb6695]

Beautiful! That’s exactly the color I want for my half bathroom. Good job Kingston’s!

[@TheKingstonHome]

Navy is THE BEST!!! you will love it!!

[@marilynmoore5359]

[@TheKingstonHome]

Wonderful!!! Congratulations!😀

Quick tips. Number each door and drawer, so you can replace them and not have to do a lot of adjusting. If you are removing the top sometimes they are “glued” or “siliconed” use a putty knife or painters tool to break the seal. When using bondo, if you use less hardener it will harden slower. ( remember the tube is for the whole can of bondo. If you use squeeze clamps on fresh paint you can damage the finish or the paint can stick to the clamps.

Beautiful!!!

[@lynneb9946]

I love the new look. What a difference. Could you come to my house and do mine????????

[@TheKingstonHome]

Hee hee! I'm not sure Don Kingston is up for another bathroom reno!! :)

[@floridaregisteredagent9488]

Tip: With Heirloom All-in-One paint or Beyond Paint [they're the same paint] no need to prime since primer is included in the paint. No need to sand. Just clean the cabinet and paint away. Two coats is sufficient.

My bathroom vanity top with 1 sink is cultured marble and is 55" x 22" (late 90's style). As far as the vanity cabinet itself, It's a very smooth real Maple vanity, so it's nice but outdated maple color. Can I just paint them blue or black or white and use epoxy to re-do the top ? (the cultured top has the built in clamshell sink with a full width 55" built-in backsplash (It's all one molded cultured marble piece)). The cultured marble is that semi yellow-ish / white-ish , so yea, it's outdated. If you could recommend a company that makes the tops like what you've done, I've priced some at around 700 to 800 dollars and that's just the one sink, so that's why I was thinking maybe epoxy (stone-coat countertops) but if that's a nightmare, then I wouldn't want to do it. Any suggestions are appreciated. I will redo the linoleum floors with VINYL flooring tile (planks) that are waterproof after I level the subfloor with LATICRETE NXT Level Plus Grey 55LB, and I will paint the walls whatever is necessary to match or offset the vanity color. I really love what you did with your vanity, omg. just amazing!!!! I am in a quandary.

[@DAVIDC0015]

Where did you get your mirrors with the LED lights? They look great too. Easy to install? Are they tied to your wall switch as well?

[@TheKingstonHome]

Hi David! I'm so sorry - for some reason I'm not getting notifications. We got them at Home Depot (and of course they have been discontinued) - but they were very similar to these: go.magik.ly/ml/1l1uu/ They were easy to install if you have basic knowledge of electrical work and they are hardwired in to the switch. We absolutely love them! Hope that helps!

[@izzyy2474]

Looks great! Is that wall paper? If so, where can I get the same exact one?

[@TheKingstonHome]

Thanks so much Izzy! It is actually a stencil...which I would NOT recommend. ahahahahahaha! It took a looooooooooong time!

[@rainey9763]

Fabulous! Did you remove the center vertical stile to make the doors meet? I have the same cabinet and want a more modern look. Thanks!

[@TheKingstonHome]

Thanks so much! We actually didn't have a vertical stile...if you can believe it one of our doors had a piece glued on to make it look like that! :) BUT - Nieu has directions for how to measure the cabinet openings if you have a half overlay which is essentially the same thing (here is the video - kzbin.info/www/bejne/qp7YgWatepeMjJI) AND if you have questions before you order they were SO SO SO helpful when we reached out!

[@s.k.1603]

The bathroom cabinet doors have this weird metal bit where the handles are (decorative, I guess) and the handle comes out but that metal bit does not. I could probably get it off with a bit of force, since I am ot having luxk with finding new doors that sre the correct size.

[@Koshechka69420]

My drawers don’t have screws on the inside like yours. Does this mean they are glued? I don’t know how to get them off, just want to take face boards of drawers

[@TheKingstonHome]

I'm so sorry for the delay - for some reason we aren't getting notifications. There are lots of different ways drawer faces can be attached. If you are still looking for an answer and want to email us a photo at [e-mail] we would be happy to take a look!

[@yoohoo8222]

What is the color? Looks similar to SW Naval??

[@TheKingstonHome]

you have a great eye! that is exactly what it is! on their website when you order the cabinets they tell you exactly what SW paint color matches.

[@robmunger922]

Could you please provide the website for the place you got the drawer fronts from I can’t seem to find them.

[@TheKingstonHome]

You bet! They are so easy to work with! www.nieucabinetdoors.com/

[@robmunger922]

Thank you so much

[@chasesibley3331]

Has anybody made their current vanity into floating vanity?! I don't want to make a whole new one when the one we have is good except the part that touches the actual floor due to a toilet overflowing years ago. Since, we can't get a lingering gross smell out 😭

[@lillederle8867]

What is the name of the paint you used? It’s gorgeous!

[@TheKingstonHome]

Hi Lil - I'm so sorry...for some reason I'm not getting notifications!! :( The paint is Naval by Sherwin Williams - we love it so much!!

[@lillederle8867]

@@TheKingstonHome No worries, thanks!

[@KH-3414]

​@@TheKingstonHome is it satin, semi gloss or eggshell?

[@TheKingstonHome]

@@KH-3414 the can says emerald trim enamel satin - hope that helps!

[@johnle1473]

Where did you get the sink counter-top done at? white marble I an assuming?

[@TheKingstonHome]

Hi John - it is actually from Home Depot! go.magik.ly/ml/1gude/

[@stixplayer]

YOU KNOW WHAT WOULD BE COOL??....If people would realize the wood is far better then paint! 2 years from now the wood will come be back! but you did a nice job!

[@alpha31121]

You know what I told my dad when he came to help me paint my new home and told me not to paint the wood... Is this your house? Lol

[@shavonna41]

What was the cost of your drawer and doors?

[@TheKingstonHome]

Hi Nicole! We didn't pay full price in exchange for this video...but if you go to their website it has the prices listed for each type of door and drawer so it makes it easy to figure out the costs up front - www.nieucabinetdoors.com/cabinet-doors/

[@Immigrantlovesamerica]

Wood filler? Just sand the wood...

[@TheKingstonHome]

No matter how much you sand natural wood will always have grain. We wanted a flat uniform appearance like most modern cabinets.

[@dazeyknows6736]

Way too much work you can use chalk paint and poly on it. I have never had any trouble with the paint even in the bath. Your bathroom looks gorgeous❤️

[@JD-by9gk]

But that color is …..
