I told my wife that I wanted to work in the shop this week as I had not done much out there lately. This a long over due project, so it seemed like a logical choice. I drew up the plans from scratch using a pre-formed top as a guide to dimensions. It will have a single bowl solid surface top on it and will be painted burgundy.
This is about 4 hours work so far. The wood is wormy maple and cheap Lowe's plywood. It is 33" tall, 20" deep & 46" wide. The legs are 1.5" square tapered at the bottom 4.25". The drawers will be 2 @ 8", 2 @5" & 2 @ 4.5" tall and 19" deep. It will have a pair of doors and a false drawer in the top middle. All the drawers and doors will be inset flush with the face frame. The drawer fronts will be solid wood and the doors will be rail & stile with a flat plywood panel. I will use full extension ball bearing drawer slides. The knobs will be wood and painted. I am shooting for a Shaker feel to it.   http://www.dreamshopwoodworks.com/bath_vanity.htm

I would like your thoughts on this picture. 
I have a 1/8" revel on the right and left side of the cabinet side, and the dividers are flush with the middle supports. The side panels are also sunken in the same way and I was trying to copy it. Am I making any sense here? I am probably not going to change it now but would really like your input. (I guess if EVERYBODY hates it I will figure something out)  | |

Tom, looking good. I like the reveal on the "legs"

I follow what you are talking about. Are the drawers going to be inset from the inner stile or flush with the inner stile? Are the drawers going to have a cockbead around the front, or just be flat? | |

Tom,
I think it's coming together very nicely. I do like the side reveals and the shape of the legs. Will there bi another stile at the top of the doors, or will you use the false drawer front to do that?

Ray Ray,
There will be another stile in-line with the top drawer and it will have a false drawer too. | |

I like it. It makes it look like furniture and not just a plain vanity. This seems the going trend in bathroom design, and I think you have a good take on it. | |

Great start, looking good, nice legs, can I say that?

Looks like a really good start - I like what you have done with the leg reveal. The only way I could see to do it differently (if you wanted the same reveal on both sides of the drawer) would be to run another pair of "legs" down to the floor. I don't think that would look as good as what you have. | |

Looks good Tom. I'm not sure I understand what look you are going for but think you will end up with a step front if the front rails are flush with the left stile but set back on the right stile.
I would add small stiles flush with the rails on the right side of the drawer opening.
How are you going to mount the cleats for the bb slides? I put flush inset drawers with bb slides in my shop bench and didn't realize until I had done it how much drawer width you lose. If you don't already have the slides, you might consider undermount slides like Blums (with Blumotion )

That will give it, particularly the center section, a very nice balance. Nancy has been talking up the idea of a piece of "furniture" instad of a vanity for our master bath. (I better not let her see your work here.) We went on the last Parade of Homes and as zippy suggested, this is the rage in high end bathrooms. Nice job.
Ray

Alan sorry it looks like I edited your post.(I didn't) I hit the wrong button!!!! Still getting used to being a moderator.
I will make up 7/8" think spacers to glue to the side panels for the drawer slides. Even at my cost those Blumotion slides are big bucks. | |
