A Renewed Dresser

This old dresser has been taken to new heights with a fresh coat of paint, and a brand new marble top, including a sink. You would never have guessed that it was once a rusted and tattered old broken dresser that had no design appeal left in it!

A Freestanding Basin with Class

Getting your hands on a strong and sturdy chest of drawers that has a perfectly free top space to place a freestanding vessel sink will add a touch of old world charm to a bathroom, and at the same time give it an updated feel! You could paint it, varnish it, sand it and whitewash it - either way, it’s going to look fabulous, plus you'll have all those drawers for storage!

The Newer Looking Vanity

Not all repurposed vanities have to look antique and old, you can take an old piece of furniture and sand it down completely, give it a new coat of varnish and you'll instantly have a newer looking vanity! Take a simple open writing desk like the one above, and upgrade it with a fresh new look and a vessel sink. You can still work and old piece of furniture into a modern vanity.
