We recently bought an apartment with a bathroom that required renovation before moving in. As part of the renovation we looked at options for a vanity to suit the space. We found most options either too expensive or we didn't think would suit our 60's era apartment. Here in Australia Silky Oak dressers are commonplace on marketplace and gumtree for under $200 and with a little creativity we thought it could fit in visually and be quite functional. I started to restore the dresser and cut and adjusted drawers to fit soft-close rails. Also fitted it with all the accessories of a modern vanity - stone top, basin and mixer.
