DIY

To cover up the hideosity of the ripped drywall from where the vanity was removed, I opted for pine wainscotting which installed very quickly and then painted white. Then new baseboards all around.

I got this pine board which I primed, then sprayed with a hammered metal copper finish to become the countertop for the glass sink. I also hammered some copper clips flat (they are actually used to suspend copper pipes from the ceiling) and banged them into frames in two of the cabinets. I found the copper clips in the basement, left behind.

Well, after setting it in place and drilling the holes for the drain and the faucet I wasn`t in love with the copper finish. It just looked meh.

So of course, bring out the broken glass and weldbond glue. I wanted a swirling water kinda thing...

This is before the grout.

And...this is after! I used non-sanded black grout, which only dries deep charcoal gray, not true black. The hole in the middle is for the sink and the other hole is for the faucet.
