Like to know if anyone has used kitchen cabinets for a bathroom vanity at a finished height of 36" and had problems with it size in the bathroom. I read another old post that said it was too big for her she was 5' 2" and so am I. Said getting close to the mirror was a problem. Anyone done this.
Thank you all for your insite. I was thinking of using kitchen cause months ago I had a design company come out and that is what he suggested using. I got rid of that group for other reasons and this is just another I didn't know about.


Bob Schmidt tells you some things you need to consider when using cabinets that have been previously used in a different location with a different design.

My husband and I bought all new unfinished kitchen cabinets. They are oak. I bought a colored stain. Since they are oak, they don't absorb a whole lot of stain, but that's okay. But when it comes to applying the polyurethane, is a foam brush okay our should I stick with a regular brush? Also how many coats of finish should I apply? 2 or 3? I understand that with each coat I need to let it dry 4-6 hours and with the final coat, it says 24 hours. Also, why do we need to sand between each dry coat? If anyone has done this before and has some helpful hints, I would appreciate it!


cabinets are stained old and dark stain... what kind of sander to use? I have an orbital round one, but I think that is for finishing. Please help. Thanks

I am looking for references for this as a do it yourself project. Would prefer to use stainless steel or maybe even copper. Not sure exactly where to purchase the metal and the best way to cut it to size.


I'm in a manufactured home with that awful phony wood look cabinets. I don't want to take the time to sand & prime & paint, but really would like them white.
I was thinking about using some thin slats for a fence effect since I want to do a retro type theme.
Anyone have some great ideas?? Thanks
