Cabin Update… and How I Makeover Vanities by Replacing the Door Drawer Fronts for Much Less!

Hi friends!!! Good afternoon! Sorry this post has been a little while in the making. I kept wanting to stain the new cabinet door/drawer fronts for the main bathroom in the new cabin before I shared all of this juicy, money saving information and between the kiddos being home for Summer and trying to get ready for our wedding next week, the project kept getting pushed back and back and back. But today was finally the day! John and I got to staining and they are looking GORGEOUS so far…

I have lots to chat about and show you in this post but let’s start with the most likely reason you are here… SAVING MONEY! Yep, I started this vanity makeover process on our last cabin (TOUR THAT CABIN HERE) and I am HOOKED! I simply keep the vanity cabinet “box” and replace the door and drawer fronts using FastCabinetDoors.com. We simply re-paint or stain the existing box and new fronts and it ends up looking like a BRAND NEW VANITY! Oh and you can absolutely do this with kitchen cabinets too! I also did that with the kitchen in the cabin I am referring to. I am just showing all bathroom examples in this post so I keep saying “vanity”. It is not only much cheaper, but also way easier than replacing a vanity or an entire set of cabinets. First, let’s take a peek at a before/after from my previous cabin project…

And here’s one more picture of the “AFTER”…

For more details about this bathroom, READ THIS BLOG POST!

For this bathroom, this is exactly what I ordered from FastCabinetDoors.com…

Campbell

Wood Type: Paint Grade

Hardwood with MDF

Boring and Hinge Options: Boring Only

Optional Non-Standard Stiles and Rails WidthsStandard

Here’s the How-To…

MEASURING… If you like the layout and placement of the current door and drawer fronts and as long as they are overlaying the frame, (before you remove them) measure the length and width of each panel. Typically there is an overlap over the frame of the cabinet of about 1/2″ all the way around each panel.

OR… remove your door and drawer fronts, measure 1/2″ around the opening and use this as the size door/drawer front you will order.

Note… drawer fronts are much the same in terms of measuring for overlay but with installation rather than using a hinge, you will simply screw the front onto the face of the drawer box.

ORDERING… In ordering our door and drawer fronts, we order with the “Boring and Hinge Options” set to BORING ONLY to fit a standard blum hinge. The blum hinge that we like to go with is a concealed, detachable hinge LINKED HERE. The standard overlay for this hinge is 3/8-5/8″ which allows you to adjust your door given that we have a 1/2″ overlay on the doors.

Now here’s a peek at the main bathroom in the cabin as it has been coming along. The existing vanity box will be painted white and the doors are stained as pictured above in PECAN STAIN for a two-toned cabinet look. Here’s my inspo…

Green is my new blue... I've loved all things blue Green is my new blue... I've loved all things blue in my design work for so so long but this cabin has turned the tides for me and now it's all things GREEN! #sponsored From the tone on tone green to the colorful textural reflections in our @7levelhome custom metal frame glass cabinet doors. What is your favorite feature in our new kitchen?

A little Back to School "surprise" for Winnie... h A little Back to School "surprise" for Winnie... her very own little dressing area! #ad And a little hint hint for her to lay out her clothes the night before 😉 As y'all may have seen on my stories a few weeks back, I was deciding between two fun ideas during the C<span style="background-color: rgb(234, 212, 107);">reative Co-Op </span>#amazonprimeday and got y'all to vote. This full length mirror, pouf and ladder setup was the winner and my personal fave. Here's a peek at how it all came together and also take a peek at the Creative Co-Op brand store on Amazon for more decor like this!
I’ve had this image pinned for YEARS NOW! And af I’ve had this image pinned for YEARS NOW! And after finally finding and then whitewashing two tables at an antique store a few months back, I decided to bring my inspo to life! And dust off quite a few of John’s things as well from his architecture books to his dad’s antique rail car lantern along with some of our travel finds to make it OURS. I’ve never loved a tv console more 💗💗💗
How does that saying go... “Curtains are a girl' How does that saying go... “Curtains are a girl's best friend?? 🤣💗 I cannot say enough great things about how the windows turned out in my bathroom thanks to @calicocorners. I
searched high and low for the perfect window treatments in this space and I wish I would have known how easy it was to order from Calico's quick ship program earlier!  Oh and also, I don't have to take a shower in the dark anymore to spare the neighbors 😅😂

The most satisfying project EVERRRR 💗 #ad When The most satisfying project EVERRRR 💗 #ad When I opened the girl’s “art closet” last week to find a piece of luggage, I think the entire closet almost came tumbling down on top of me 🤦🏻‍♀️ With school starting next week, rather than imploding, I decided to get my girlies to help with a few organizational projects with the help of the CUTEST new Home Edit organizational finds at @walmart Winnie and I got to work yesterday and I think I’ve now peeked inside the completed closet no less than ten times already to relish in the beauty of the labeled bins 😉 Oh and I also detailed sizes for each bin in this video to visually help you with all of the online options. Sharing everything I used in this project right here… #Walmart #WalmartHome

Double Tap if you’re “Team Still Images” 🙋🏻‍♀️ Don’t worry… I absolutely am ♥️ It’s just been a while since I’ve actually gotten out my camera and photographed a space. Everything seems to be in every phase except completion. Except this space which incorporates every single thing I love in design… color, pattern, texture, warmth, meaningful touches and a piece of history…
