7. The Victorian Washstand as a Vanity
A Victorian washstand is a beautiful piece of history. These small, low cupboards were originally designed to hold a basin and pitcher. Today, they make the most charming, compact bathroom vanities.
How to Make
If you are handy with plumbing, a vintage washstand can be converted into a sink vanity. If you aren’t, simply use it as a decorative storage piece in the corner of a guest bedroom to hold towels, a mirror, and toiletries. Its small scale and delicate legs make it feel much more like an art piece than a standard cabinet.
Things Needed
- Victorian washstand
- Towels and toiletries
- Decorative mirror
- (Optional) Sink and plumbing hardware
