How to Build a Bathroom Vanity with Off Center Sink and Fluted Detail

[@stevedockery3534]

Shara, I honestly have to say this is the most beautiful piece you've built. Not taking away anything from the former furniture you've made, but the craftsmanship and attention to detail gave this piece a blue ribbon. Have a great weekend. Steve

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Thank you so much for the kind words! This one definitely had a lot of little details haha, but I really enjoyed adding that fluted trim. I appreciate you watching and hope you have an amazing weekend as well!

[@cosydow]

It's an absolute beaut! Lovely job, and thank you as always for the inspiration ❤

[@DrunkInPublic]

Absolutely agree 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

[@itmeurdad]

"former furniture" makes it sounds like the other pieces have transitioned their existence as furniture and for some reason that made me think of transformer-like superheroes with the features of cabinets, dressers, and nightstands.

[@Joshua.zero29]

I honestly started to question this build at the beginning, but you knocked this outta the park! I just couldn't see how extraordinary this piece would come together! It's truly a masterpiece, Shara, and thanks for sharing it with us! 👏👏👏

[@WoodshopDiaries]

To be honest, me too because I did not have a plan going into building it 🙈🤣 but a piece at a time and it started coming together. So glad you enjoyed it! I appreciate you watching and hope you have an amazing weekend! 😎

[@Joshua.zero29]

@@WoodshopDiaries Well, you should be extremely proud! Have an awesome weekend!

[@EmanuelYeotis]

Absolute master piece. I couldn't even imagine what a vanity of this quality would cost to purchase. Looking forward to seeing the finished bathroom.

[@WoodshopDiaries]

You’re so kind. Thank you! I’m hoping to share the updated bathroom soon but I keep procrastinating because I don’t want to patch the drywall after I tear out the closet 🙈😆

[@lucy2beme]

Wow, this cabinet is the most beautiful cabinet ever. Your woodworking skills are amazing.❤

[@WoodshopDiaries]

So glad you enjoyed it! I appreciate you watching and hope you have a wonderful weekend!

[@ryanjacobsmeyer7565]

I can only imagine how long this piece took to build, but I have to say that you are an inspiration for woodworkers everywhere with the simplistic way you go about your assembly. Not the super complicated methods others use.

[@Blazer19742002]

That vanity is freakin GORGEOUS!!! 🥰🥰

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Thank you so much! I can’t wait to get it installed! Thanks so much for watching! 😊

[@crazyhumans-]

This is the vanity that I will build for my spare bathroom. Thank you.

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Awesome! Happy building! 🙌🔨

[@danutcrackerstream5799]

I'm so glad i found your channel, it's the only woodwork i watch keep up the good work, big ❤ from South Africa.

[@WoodshopDiaries]

So happy you enjoy the videos! I appreciate you watching! Have a great weekend!

[@lovejones7545]

This vanity looks amazing! Adding the fluted trim pieces was a great idea. Gives the Vanity a vintage retro look. Well done👍🏾

[@michaelcheatham6233]

Nice design, nice work. Love the fact that you show your mistakes. Shows bravery. I respect that.

[@jeremyspecce]

You’re always the best at planning your scrap and cutoffs to be useful for something else! 🙌🏻

[@WoodshopDiaries]

I’m not the best I’m sure 😅 but I try! I just hate keeping things but I also hate throwing them away 🤣 so I try and use up what I can. Thanks so much for watching and I hope you have a great weekend!

[@brewster3987]

Well, I can certainly see why you've been so pumped to show this project off. That's some beautiful red oak, and your creative use of the fluted trim casing (both as drawer/door front inserts and trim details) really makes the design stand out! There's just something about natural wood grain that really says "high-end"😌... love me some oak furniture. I also liked the eclectic mix of joinery techniques. That's going to look great in your bathroom (hope we get a peek at the finished product!) P.S. 11:40 there's no such thing as a "bad" time for a pet break🐕🐈.

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Thank you! I really enjoyed this one (even though it did feel like it was never ending at times haha). I’ll have to share it again (maybe in a short) once installed. I dread doing the drywall work on that 🙈😆 I actually had two clips of Bubs bringing live mice into the shop that I ended up cutting out before posting 🤣 I didn’t want anyone to get mad about it, but I’m going to make a short of that and share it because it was quite funny 🤣 Thanks so much for watching this week and I hope you have a wonderful weekend! 😎

[@jhold7553]

Ok thats awesome. I really like the cabinet on top and the glass door and the color is perfect. 3 top coats, with all that fluting, you are better than me ha

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Thank you! Haha the finish with the fluting was a labor of love 😆 it took some patience but was worth it. Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

[@jeremyspecce]

I would NEVER think of red oak for a bathroom vanity and yet, here we are with a beautiful, modern, but timeless, vanity!

[@WoodshopDiaries]

So glad you enjoyed it! 🙌 thank you!

[@WillysPerformanceCycleCtr]

This is a beautiful piece of art work you’ve designed and built! I really appreciate your creativity and ability to share your step by step process. Plus, you always explain the minor mistakes you make and how to avoid and correct them. Please don’t apologize for your camera work! You do a great job! So glad to see Bubs and Lou got a little attention! Again this is an amazingly beautiful piece of work. I hope you all have a nice weekend!

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Thank you so much! I so appreciate you watching and following along. And I’m so glad you enjoy seeing the shop pets here and there 😊 I cut two clips of bubs brining live mice into the shop because the video was already so long 🙈 but they were an entertaining bunch while building this project. Anyway, thank you so much for your kind words and I hope you have an amazing weekend! 🙌😎

[@beetleclemens3727]

😊😊😊😊😊 what nice looking lumber do not see any knots anywhere must make the project flow a lot easier can't wait to see the end project

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Thank you! I actually look for the knots and strategically place them where they’ll be seen. I like them-gives some character haha. But this lumber had very few. But there was enough grain to still give it some character 😍

[@beetleclemens3727]

Why thank you for getting back to me so fast we really appreciate it we hope you have a great day until the next video I'll see you then

[@marygriffin7567]

This is absolutely beautiful!

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Thank you! 💕 I’m so excited with how it turned out. I appreciate you watching!

[@sharonclarke8683]

Love this vanity you are an amazing woodworker❤❤

[@WoodshopDiaries]

You’re so kind! I’m not sure that I’m amazing haha, but I appreciate that 💕 thank you for watching!

[@bearsstuff]

I don't know if it's my internet, but the quality of this video is incredible and feels like the best I've experienced. New camera? I appreciate the hardwood vs plywood. Nice to mix it up. As someone with a bathroom remodel in my future, I'd love to see the demo/rebuild/installation of this. Would be a fun journey to follow along with.

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Thank you! I accidentally filmed my last three videos in 4k and I keep forgetting to switch my camera back. Same old camera as always. Just hit the wrong (maybe the right? 😆) button. Glad you enjoyed it! I hate filming inside the house. It’s always cramped and the camera is in the way. But…I may make a Yt short video of it because it would be fun to share a quick glimpse! I just have to get motivated to patch this drywall first 😅

[@princessngwenya2164]

I Love how well you explain and uncomplicate this process, after searching through dozens of videos on KZbin, I am so happy to have found a woman doing it. It is empowering. Thanks for sharing, Shara.

[@joelcopeland3018]

That looks great... Your talents continue to grow... God bless you and yours...

[@WoodshopDiaries]

You’re so kind. Thank you and may God bless you and yours as well 💕

[@debralafleur2917]

Stunning. Thank you for sharing!

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Thank you so much for watching! Have a wonderful weekend!

[@gregjones3952]

Very nice job. Really like the way it turned out.

[@WoodshopDiaries]

I appreciate that! Thanks so much for watching and have a great weekend!

[@davetaylor2088]

Another work of art, nice one mate.

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Thank you so much! I appreciate you watching!

[@guybowers9094]

That's a great looking vanity. I will be remodeling our main bath this year and this build has given me some ideas

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Thank you! So happy to hear it gave you some inspiration 🙌 happy building/remodeling! 🔨😎

[@ejoyner]

Look beautiful

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Thank you so much! I appreciate you watching! 💕

[@westtexas5754]

This is one of the finest projects that I have seen you make. I look forward to seeing your creativity on the remaining vanities.

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Thanks so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Can't wait to share the next ones! Have a wonderful weekend 😎

[@MCsCreations]

Stunning vanity, Shara! It turned out amazing! 😃 Really well done!!! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed it :) I hope you and yours have a wonderful weekend!

[@r.m.2301]

All I can say is WOW very nice build looks great...

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Thank you so much! I appreciate you watching and hope you have a great weekend!

[@DonO1970WNY]

This build is amazing! So well done! I like how you used the cutoffs of the fluted boards as trim - nothing goes to waste. Fantastic job, as always! And I see that, as of today, you are almost to a quarter million subscribers. Very well deserved. :)

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Thank you! 🙌 the cutoffs worked perfect-happy accident haha. Also, you’re right-almost to 250! I hadn’t checked in a while and didn’t realize it was so close 😅 thank you so much for watching and following along. I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

[@Ray_Sellner]

Probably your best detailed work. Putting a chamfer on the legs before dragging them across the concrete is a good idea.

[@ree2305]

This is a work of art. It’s a beautiful design and I love your idea of using the fluted trim on the drawers and doors.

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Thank you so much! That fluted detail is my absolutely favorite part! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

[@tiffanym4202]

I only build basic things and although I'm not anywhere near ready to build something like this, your videos are demystifying the process. This vanity is absolutely stunning and I really appreciate you and your channel. Subscribed!

[@ezequielapenas778]

Funny how I watched all your videos and came back to rewatch them cause it's soo good, so many pretty things, well done things. Congrats!

[@woodyourather7835]

That was so smart using the cutoffs from the fluted trim to frame around the finished panels. So resourceful! Great work

[@ginniferleflore9893]

Everything you make is always so perfect! I told my husband that sometimes I get lost with the lingo, but you make it fun to just learn. Thank you for taking the time to share the pieces you build. I aspire to be even half as talented as you.❤

[@Micha_Ba]

WOW - amazing ❤

[@WoodshopDiaries]

So glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much for watching!

[@johnkelley9877]

I am just getting a chance to watch this build and I can honestly this is one of your most impressive builds. Not just for the beauty of the vanity but also for the innovative methods you used such as the molding for the drawer and door fronts. All in all this is just a fantastic build and I can see why it is your favorite. Thanks for sharing this.

[@philshock3805]

Wow, that's a beautiful vanity! Turning the flutes vertical was an unexpected move and gives the piece a super high-end look. You have a fantastic eye for design.

[@rea59]

At the beginning I was like, hmm personal bathroom with plywood and edge banding ..no thank you. Then you pulled out all that Oak lol...yep ! that's the way to do it. Great build!

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Thank you! My current bathroom vanity (in my main bathroom) and my last three in previous homes were made with birch plywood and I’d not hesitate to do it again

[@Oceanborn07_05]

This is beyond awesome. I will most certainly steal this look 😂

[@sarahwhiting325]

You are so clever it’s beautiful and it’s unique

[@bwill1412]

Shara, thank you for these videos! They are inspiring and useful. I really appreciate the time you put into them and the detail you share along the way!

[@WoodshopDiaries]

You're so kind! So glad you enjoy them!

[@georgewilmore7599]

Looks awesome! I like your attention to detail.

[@MrAlbrimm]

Another great job Shara. You make it so simple and not intimidating, keep it up.

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed it!

[@alexbell1478]

Obsessed! Thanks for sharing this project!

[@scottmorris4914]

Thats a great build. Looks really good. Tahnks for creating chapters on your video, I don’t get to watch these videos all the way through, and the chapters make it so much easier. I know it is a lot of extra work.

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Thanks so much for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed it and I hope you have an amazing weekend!

[@gdreilly]

Nice build!

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Thank you so much! I hope you have a great weekend!

[@DorothyOzmaLover]

Wow, so cute w/ a sweet dash of class so you're a star for showin those top skills so bless!

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed it. I really appreciate you watching and hope you have a great weekend!

[@craiggoodwin9704]

Shara, Wow! I think you used all the tools and all the techniques you've been sharing with us on this one. Very impressive and a spectacular result. You even had Lucy and Bub's in here for a few moments. I feel my heart racing with excitement and after it slows down a bit I'm going to have to watch this one again! I cut and rolled my lawn here on Monday and it snowed this Friday. So I got plenty of projects started but then stalled some in my unheated shop. Wishing you a great weekend. Thanks for Sharing!

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Lucy and Bubs were a big help for this build haha! Bubs actually brought two live mice into the shop while I was working and I had to cut that footage from the video 😂🙈 That wasn't helpful, but it was...eventful. I hope the weather warms up for you and there's no snow in the foreseeable forecast soon! We hit another cold snap last week, but thankfully we avoided snow. Hoping spring is here to stay now! Thanks so much for watching and I hope you have a great weekend!

[@NanaQ3]

love it, I have some clients who would like to use this in their bathroom. Looks stunning. Great work.!!

[@kristinpothast]

Your sinking camera was actually very dynamic and interesting. It really elevated the shot :D

[@WoodshopDiaries]

If only all my camera bloopers were happy accidents 🤣

[@ianpearse4480]

Very nice job. Awesome.

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate you watching and hope you have a wonderful weekend!

[@MrJohnnyboyrebel]

The fluting detail is stunning. Best project ever!

[@allisonwoods6161]

Love this vanity 😊. I will definately build something similar. I enjoy watching your videos every week as they are so full of great tips and ideas and you explain things so well. Thank you for sharing what you do and i look forward to what ever you have in store for us next 😊

[@kamel763]

Well done, you are really professional!

[@lashellbrown8502]

You really are enriching others lifestyle ❤❤❤❤. I’m planning a dresser build and vanity/ tower build because of what I’m learning❤❤❤❤

[@LukasEragon]

Looks amazing! I love asymmetrical look to design

[@bwhite661]

This one caught my eye in the first split second that I saw it. I LOVE the fluted panel design. It's absolutley gorgeous! I'm in the design stages of building an end table for our bedroom and I'm thinking of adding a drawer and that's why I thought of you. I consider you the "drawer lady" :) You have great drawer tutorials! I might steal your fluted panel idea. OK - off to rewatch a few of your other videos for some inspiration. Keep up the great work!

[@bjorncj]

Well composed video, to the point. Covered everything, one needs to know. Very educational, very artistic. And the build is sublime.

[@markwood5382]

This could be the most beautiful vanity I have ever seen! Well done.

[@cyndij8312]

Love the fluted detail. Such a gorgeous vanity.

[@SawdustmakerLori]

This turned out so amazing Shara!!! I love how unusual it is with the fluted fronts. It's great that you came up with a way to use the edges from the fluted boards to frame the fluted pieces on the drawers/doors. Nothing went to waste. It's great you're keeping this since you went to the trouble of making the solid wood panels and it's so beautiful. Had to laugh at Bubby walking across the wood as you're gluing it. Has he ever walked through the glue and tracked it across a project? I can picture him doing that. Lucy looked like she was enjoying the build also. Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing your creativity!

[@oilcitywoodworks]

Turned out really nice! Great job!

[@dre7637]

You’ve got talent beyond belief! Great job as always!

[@brunnie]

That is a beautiful vanity and cabinet. Thank you for sharing, and the tip about fluting.

[@chrissleblanc]

As usual perfect one of the things I do whenever I'm doing inset doors I run a 1 1/4 strip right across the inside frame to stop the doors, like I said perfect build love it

[@nimivima]

Simplemente hermoso !!!

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Thank you so much!

[@karenmitchell6814]

The info on the hinges is a great surprise. I am building a bath cabinet and one door is inset with/ face frame and one is frameless. I was thinking I would have to install a large block too. Thank you for the link. Very well done. So much better quality than what you can find retail. Note: the link for the frameless hinges takes you to the drawer slides. 🤭

[@erickalmestar]

I’m in awe. Those two pieces are just perfection. Thank you for sharing !

[@T_Jonesy]

That vanity is amazing! Just a stunning design. Love the chunky look of the legs and the fluting on the doors and drawers looks beautiful. I copied the vanity design of another female DIYer last year, but I wish I had seen this one before I built that one. I'm 100% going to build your vanity one day. I just bought a t-shirt from your merch shop to support your channel. Cheers!

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Ahh thank you so much for the support of my small business! I truly appreciate that and hope you enjoy the new tee! So glad you enjoyed the design and the video. Thank you so much for watching and I hope you have an amazing weekend!

[@virtualfather]

Beautiful design

[@manjubns]

Shara, I truly need to thank you. I went thru many of your videos and finally able to build bench at my breakfast area. It turned out awesome. I consider myself as below beginner. I went thru all the tools (most of) and brought them and started. You deserve my heartfelt gratitude and I mean it. I am not sure, how I can share my work picture.

[@bigsparky65]

Love your choice for door and drawer fronts. Beautiful vanity cabinet

[@tonynewman1694]

Having only recently found your excellent channel, I will be making a full bedroom set in November, not my first build but was looking for ideas. Keep up the great videos 👍😁

This looks so good. I really like the fluted red oak. It’s a great finishing touch.

[@glendavalle4611]

Thank you for your inspiration and now I have encouragement to keep trying. I love that you are detailed and you show what is going on with detail and I am thankful for your honesty and I am going to keep going and trying. Thanks you again.

[@christinepannell2373]

Wow! I am very impressed by you! I want to be you when I grow up. That cabinet and vanity are spectacular! Great job and I appreciate how you explain all the steps. This is the first time I have ever subscribed to anything on KZbin. Can’t wait to watch more and hopefully try some of this myself.

[@WoodshopDiaries]

You’re so kind! Thank you so much-I’m so glad you enjoyed the video! I appreciate you following along and hope you find the other videos helpful too!
