Are you tired of your old dresser taking up space in your room? Or maybe you're looking for a way to add some character to your bathroom without spending a lot of money. Look no further than turning your old dresser into a stunning DIY vanity! This project is a great way to repurpose an old piece of furniture and create a unique focal point in any room. Here's how to do it: 
Step 1: Choose the Right Dresser
Not all dressers are created equal when it comes to turning them into a vanity. Look for a dresser that is the right height for your bathroom sink or that can be easily modified to fit. You'll also want to consider the style and condition of the dresser. A vintage or antique piece can add a lot of character to your room, but make sure it's in good enough condition to handle the wear and tear of everyday use.
Step 2: Prep Your Dresser
Before you can turn your dresser into a vanity, you'll need to do some prep work. Remove any drawers and hardware from the dresser and sand down the surface to remove any bumps or imperfections. If the dresser has any deep scratches or dents, consider filling them with wood filler and sanding smooth. Once you've sanded the dresser down, wipe it clean with a damp cloth.
Step 3: Cut Out Holes for Plumbing
If you're turning your dresser into a bathroom vanity, you'll need to cut out holes for the plumbing. Measure the dimensions of your sink and mark them on the top of the dresser. Use a jigsaw or handsaw to carefully cut out the holes. Be sure to measure twice and cut once to avoid any mistakes.
Step 4: Add a Protective Coat
To protect your new vanity from water damage and everyday wear and tear, add a protective coat. You can use a clear polyurethane or a furniture wax to seal the dresser. Apply a thin coat and allow it to dry completely before adding a second coat. This will ensure your vanity stays looking great for years to come.
