25 Unique Bathroom Vanities Made From Furniture
Hey everyone! I hope you had a great weekend! I spent some time this weekend up in the Adirondacks breathing in the sweet mountain air and relaxing with my family. Relaxing for me is a walk in the woods or sitting on the front porch dreaming up new projects. 🙂 When we got home I spent some time on Pinterest because I’ve been thinking about updating our kids’ bathroom and where else would I go for some inspiration? I’ve always wanted to upcycle a piece of furniture into a vanity (you know I love a good upcycle!) and what better way to add some personality to your bathroom than with a funky piece of painted furniture? I found SO MANY really cool ideas so today I wanted to share 25 unique bathroom vanities (mostly) made from furniture
The level of creativity is ahhmazing!
- An antique bow front dresser. What a way to add a pop of color! And this one already has the mirror attached. Tip – If you are a bit nervous about cutting a large whole in the top of the piece, simply use a bowl sink.
2. An old antique table would be easy if you don’t mind seeing the pipes. It has great space underneath for baskets. Farmhouse love…
3. How about an antique sewing machine table? I love the copper sink and this is the perfect size for a powder room. I’m pretty sure it would need quite a few coats of sealer.
4. This old dresser is so pretty set back in this little niche. It’s so soft and subtle mixed with the bead board.
5. How farmhouse is this?? I know it’s not necessarily furniture but it’s a bit rustic and I love it! Not a whole lot of space for stuff but would be great in a laundry room.
6. This is so pretty and so functional. I love how the faucet comes out of the back.
7. Love the color of this and the size. Holy storage!
8. Such a cool finish with what looks like antique wax or glaze and the legs are so pretty. Perfect for a half bath.
9. How about using two dressers?
10. How incredibly creative is this? An old soda (or pop, depending where you’re from. :)) machine? Talk about vintage!
11. An antique buffet with mirror and shelf already built in. This has plenty of room for 2 sinks and lots of storage.
12. I don’t think I have ever seen a finish like this but that sink is amazing!
13. This old sideboard makes a gorgeous double vanity. There are some pieces that really shouldn’t be painted and I think this one is one of those. I love the scalloped back and the marble top is so pretty.
14. I love the scroll-y back on this dresser. The bowl sink is a great match and the clear knobs are perfect with the subway tile. And that floor…!!
15. How about an antique hardware cabinet? I love the handles and the mix of the light wood and the dark fixtures and floor.
16. This old chip-y, peal-y cabinet is the perfect fit for this space.
17. How about an antique dry sink? I love that the faucet looks like an old water pump. 🙂
18. This full sewing machine table is the perfect base.
19. This antique buffet is the perfect size for a double vanity.
20. I love this beautiful antique dresser and how they removed the original mirror that was attached and hung it on the wall. Clever how they put the faucet to the side.
21. I can’t believe the intricate detail on this buffet and the color is just gorgeous! Talk about character!
22. I love the addition of the round bowl to the top of this old sewing table. The antique handles are so unique and match the faucet perfectly.
23. This bathroom is so peaceful, so pretty and so farmhouse!
24. I know this finish isn’t for everyone but it’s truly unique. I love the rustic feel mixed with the clean, classic subway tile.
25. OK, so I know this is not furniture but really, how cool is this?? Not sure I could pull this off in my house , but talk about character! 🙂
There you go, 25 unique bathroom vanities! Craigslist, garage sales and flea markets are great places to find inexpensive furniture. You may even have a piece already in your home or basement just waiting to be transformed. With a little imagination, paint (or not) and some elbow grease, you can create one of a kind pieces for your home. Think about how much character you could add for probably less than the cost of a big box store vanity. I’d love to know which was your favorite above, so please share in the comments below.
I think I may try it with this piece. What do you think?
Happy DIYing!

Hello Colleen!
I replaced our downstairs bathroom vanity with an old dresser several years ago. My husband reconfigured the top drawer so there is still some storage in the front of it. The mirror was gone but I had one from my father that I hung on the wall and I added a piece of wood and some wood appliqués to fill in the space where the mirror was missing. I have a drafting table that I am going to use for our upstairs bath.
I love the ideas that you post and your home is beautiful!
Hi Teresa! Thank you so much! I love the idea of using something your father had to add extra personality and meaning to your space. 🙂
I loved all your ideas, but I’m opting for one of the two table ideas in a small house I am remodeling. I have the perfect table, but couldn’t get my husband to envision it. Now I’m just going to put it together for him to plumb out. He’s got that part down, at least. I have everything I need here at my home to complete this project for that little house. Vessel sink, faucet, drop leaf table, and urethane👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼Thanks for the idea.
That is awesome, Lilly! Good luck with your project!
Would love to see a picture of the completed project! 😉
Thanks for sharing such a good post on Furniture items specially for bathroom items. I have several customers need bathroom furniture occasionally and I found this post and tips for my business very useful. Thanks
Some beautiful ideas here. I love unique things. That bike is amazing 🙂 Thanks so much for sharing your post with us at Welcome To The Weekend Blog Hop, hope you can join us for Creative Mondays tomorrow 🙂
It’s really unique, some designs look modern I really like it, maybe this will be my reference, because I happen to be building a house. Thanks.
How can I pick favorite when each choice seemed to be better than last one,oh my. Now if I could just get Mr.Furry to use a buffet we have that is like new yet (Fingerhut. Think it’s deep/wide enuf to accommodate 2 bowl sinks sitting on top.
Wish could get my oldest son to come here (from San Diego) to change this for us. He’d have it done in a wink of an eye. What a difference would make in our bathroom. While he’s at it could turn our shower stall into a linen closet and our garden tub into a shower.
You sure found many incredible choices for furniture pieces to be vanities.
Thank you! It was certainly hard to choose just one. I guess it really depends on the look you’re going for but they all are so creative! Maybe you can suggest coming for a visit to your son. Mother’s Day is coming 😉
