New Finalized Vanity Wall Design

I needed to make myself sit down and finalize some choices concerning the vainness wall design this weekend. My design concepts for this wall have gone by fairly a change because the very starting of this lavatory mission.

Initially, I had deliberate on full vanities with a false entrance on Matt’s that might be opened for him to wheel as much as in his wheelchair. After which I had deliberate a window seat in between the vanities. That will have appeared one thing like this…

However alongside the way in which, I made a decision that (1) I wanted to make issues simpler for Matt with an open design, and (2) I didn’t just like the awkward area between the window and the window seat. What would go there? The identical tile that I take advantage of on backsplash? Only a plain white wall? Trim to match the wainscoting? It was simply a clumsy area.

However actually, the principle problem was that I wanted to make issues simpler for Matt…and admittedly, for me too, since he wants my assist with just about every part.

That’s once I determined to go together with open tables for the vainness design, after which as an alternative of the window seat, I might construct a dresser for our storage. I ordered the legs for the vanities, after which began gathering all types of concepts for the dresser design, and that’s just about the place issues stopped.

So this weekend, I made myself sit down and make some choices.

• Do I need the vanities the identical peak because the dresser, with one lengthy, steady countertop all the way in which throughout the 12.5-foot-wide wall?
• Do I need drawers within the table-style vanities, or will the dresser be sufficient storage?
• Do I need to add gold accents on the drawers of the dresser, or simply go away it stable walnut?
• If the dresser is taller than the vainness tables, so I desire a walnut high, or a high to match the vanities?
• What number of drawers do I need on the dresser? And can they be extensive drawers the width of the dresser? Or will it’s lower in half in order that Matt can have his facet, and I can have mine?
• What particulars do I need on the dresser, if any? Will it have trim, or will it’s plain?
• What concerning the backside of the dresser? Will it have toes? Or will it sit flat on the ground?

These are choices I’ve been pushing aside for a very long time now as a result of making a dedication on these particulars makes me nervous. However I lastly did it. And except I modify my thoughts, right here’s what it is going to appear to be.

First, this vainness from Kara Nicole Clark on Instagram turned my primary inspiration. I had collected all types of inspiration photos, however I saved going again to this one.

And right here’s what our new vainness wall design will appear to be…

The actual legs aren’t as cumbersome as they ones in my drawing. 😀

So listed here are my choices on these questions:

• I don’t want a protracted, steady countertop. I need the dresser to be increased than the vanities.
• I do need drawers within the table-style vanities. There received’t be a center drawer, for apparent causes. However I do desire a small drawer on both facet for small issues — toothbrush, toothpaste, contact lens case, saline resolution.
• I don’t need gold accents. I like the look of the vainness within the image above.
• As of proper now, I believe I need the highest of the vainness to have a walnut high in order that it really appears to be like like a chunk of furnishings. That’s one thing I can all the time change out later if I modify my thoughts.
• I made a decision that I need the dresser to have my facet and Matt’s facet. At the least for now, that’s what I need. It might find yourself with extensive drawers, however drawers which are 45 inches extensive simply appears an excessive amount of.
• I do need the drawers to be trimmed out similar to those on the vainness within the image. It’s easy, however so very fairly.
• I don’t need to have to scrub underneath the dresser, so I need it to take a seat flat on the ground with fairly trim across the backside.

The choices are made, and I be ok with it. Now I simply have to order some trim, and I’ll be prepared to start out constructing quickly!
