When we decided to finish our “roughed-in” 1/2 bathroom in the basement, we knew we needed a vanity. At first we looked to purchase one but come to find out, they are pretty expensive and the wall mounted faucet made finding a vanity with no faucet holes pretty difficult. After deciding on a simple design we opted to build it ourselves for a fraction of the cost. With the simple, single-door design, we wanted to add a cool, routed handle to the door. While these plans are just for the base, you can make it your own, like we did, with a custom top (we used leftover 2″ thick cypress slabs), cool vessel sink and faucet.
