Instant vanity upgrade
Give your vanity a facelift by swapping out your old water-damaged doors with replacements made out of plywood.
Cut the doors to the same size as the existing, then stain them – here, to match other timber installations – and leave to dry.
Give the stained doors a few coats of clear varnish to seal. Drill holes for the hinges using a Forstner bit. Screw new hinge blocks onto the cabinet, then click doors in place. Add new handles to finish the job.
Get the look
Decorate your bathroom with shades of blue and white to introduce a coastal theme.
