First try at building them, this one was for our bathroom downstairs. I will try and build some more for our bar downstairs when I get back from work in Dec.

Nice job! One small critique. Grain direction on door panels, as a rule are usually vertical, not horizontal. I like the dark stain, looks good. What is that, pine?

Ya I put the grain direction that way because the doors are pretty thin and I thought if the grain was vertical it would make them look that much thinner....

I am not sure... I built it the wife stained it. I will ask her though and get back to you.

Ya there was a couple of vanities to chose from. We were actually going to tile it with some nice soap stone tiles and use the epoxy grout but decided against it when we starting talking about out heathen children, lol. It is basically their bathroom downstairs so we wanted something simple and easy to clean.

Thanks for the positive feedback everyone, I was expecting to get ripped. I can see the mistakes I made I guess. The wife said they looked good but I wanted some more opinions.

Very nice. Only issue that I see is the top trim piece on the right door looks to be slanting a bit. Maybe just the picture.
