Bathroom Vanity Made From Upcycled IKEA Groland Kitchen Island

by pﬁllmore

When building a bathroom in my unnished basement, I decided to upcycle an IKEA Groland Kitchen Island that I had

used for a Foreman grill in my previous condo. This helped save on the costs of the reno. I also was able to purchase the

granite vessel sink during a sale for $100, and the American Standard Tall Vessel Sink Faucet as a clearance/unpacked

item from my local Home Depot for around $50.

Supplies:

IKEA Groland Kitchen Island

Miniwax Pre-Stain Wood Conditioner

Miniwax White Wash Pickling Stain

Miniwax Polycrylic Protective Finish

Granite Vessel Sink

American Standard Tall Vessel Sink Faucet

P-Trap

Faucet Supply Lines

Pop-Up Drain

Plumber's Puddy

Clear Silicone

Step 1: Prepping the Vanity The vanity was given a light sand all over, and a heavier sanding on the top to get rid of grease stains from its previous purpose of housing the foreman grill. My wife wanted the vanity lowered, so the legs were removed and few inches taken of the top of the legs, just below the drilled holes for the metal bars to hang items on the front and back. Two holes were drilled for the front bar and it would be used to use to hang a hand towel. The vanity was then re-assembled.

water splashing from the sink. The positioning of the granite vessel sink and faucet were determined and holes were drilled.

Step 2: Installing the Vanity The vanity was put in place, and a bead of clear silicone along the back to attach to the wall. The granite Vessel Sink was siliconed to the top of the vanity. The basic plumbing was then performed. The pop-up drain was installed sealing with plumber's puddy; the P-trap installed, the Faucet installed, and water lines connected.
