Bathroom Vanity

A home renovation included new master bathroom and these two bathroom vanity and make-up counters. This design was taken from Houzz.com and sent to me by the client. The bath is an intimate space that an architect can’t always draw for the customer, even while responsible for the rest of the house. With woodwork adjacent to the shower as in this case, its important to anticipate the effects of moisture on the joinery. I have seen doors like these with pre-painted trim applied on the door. That kind of mass-production short-cut will result in a door with peeling paint and cracks in the joints in a year of service. The right way and more time-consuming way is to assemble everything with glue and paint over the joints with at least three coats of enamel.
