Finding ways to redesign your bathroom can be tricky
business. Tricky because there are so
many different approaches that you can take. The bathroom is different than any other room in the house and the
design process is as well. Not to
mention that if you are not comfortable with plumbing, than installing a new
sink or shower may be out of the question. There are still many things that the amateur DIY designer can get away
with. One of those things is replacing
the vanity doors with new updated doors. Here is one of the easy, affordable, and effective things you can
complete in your bathroom to help update the look and make it a more
comfortable space. 



One of the centerpieces of any bathroom is the vanity. An updated vanity has a huge effect on the
look and feel of a bathroom. But for the
DIY homeowner trying to save a couple of dollars, buying and installing a new
vanity and sink may be out of the question for some. An easier approach is to make the original
vanity look like a new one. This can be
done by installing new doors on it. 

Step 1:

The first thing to do when updating your vanity with new
doors is to remove all of the original old doors. To remove the doors, simply unscrew the
hinges attached to the door.  The part of
the hinge that is attached to the inside of the cabinet can remain screwed in
as it will be re-used. Keep the old
doors handy as they will make a great template for your new doors to make sure
they are all the correct size.

Step 2:

Measure and cut for the new doors. The best material to use for the new doors is
⅜ inch MDF which is generally less expensive than wood. Using the measurements from the original
door, cut the MDF to the correct size using a chop saw. Then using the chop saw, cut rips 2 inches
for the raised rails and styles on all sides of the MDF. Attach the rails and styles to the door using
glue and wood nails.

Step 3: 

After the doors and the rails are attached, they
need to be sanded down. The best tool
for this is a router which will chamfer the edges. This gives a smooth even surface that is
beveled. Now it is time to paint the
doors. This is where creativity comes
in. When painting, make sure you roll
the paint on so that the paint sets nice and smooth. It is also important to paint both sides of
the doors so that moisture does not warp the wood.
