Vanity Plans (Not BATHROOM, but stand-alone -for wife)

[Fred]

Hello, does nayone know where I can find some make-up vanity plans? I'm pretty new to WW and trying to build something special for my wife, who has put up with all of my tool-craziness over the past few years. I searched all over the internet and all I can find are BATHROOM vanities...please help?

Thanks!

Maybe google for "drysink", or maybe vanity -bathroom

Can you be more specific, Fred. Where are you gonna put it? Roughly, how big do you want it? Can you take a bathroom vanity base and just adapt it?

Remember to honor our troops...past and present.

And have a nice Memorial Day weekend.

IDAGS on +"bedroom vanity" +plans and think that might be a good starting point for you.

Actually, all you really need are two pedestals with drawers that are joined by a vertical panel at the back and by a shelf at the top - with a mirror for application of "war paint" while sitting; and checking hems, straps, etc while standing. A matching bench seat with a cushion would probably be a major plus. Another plus might be provision for plugging in a small table lamp at the back of both pedestals.

If you don't find vanity plans, you /can/ find desk plans that you can adapt for building the pedestals and drawers; dresser plans should provide the info you need to mount the mirror, and your local glass company can provide a cosmetics and perfume immune center shelf.

I'd suggest looking at commercially-built vanities on the web for ideas; then showing your wife what you've found - along with your sketch of what you think you can handle building that you think she'd like and working up your design (with her) from there.
