You’re looking to remodel your bathroom, but times are a little rough and it needs to be done on a budget? Not a problem! Thanks to companies like eBay and Amazon, as well as flea markets and garage sales, you can get much of the furniture you’ll need to remodel your bathroom at a discount.
One of the most important pieces you’ll be looking for in your quest to remodel your bathroom is going to be the vanity. While garage sales are probably going to give you a pretty good offering of sinks, and garage sales may give you a selection of sinks and tops, probably the best place to find a discount bathroom vanity is going to be online.
If you take your search to the Internet, you can compare prices and check availability from the comfort of your own home. Another advantage to this is you can decide if it’s worth the extra money to buy it new. Take this Danco Mystiq vanity on Amazon.com. It retails for $699, is available new for $599 and is occasionally offered used for as low as $363. You save almost half of the original cost by buying a used one on the Internet.
If you’re a do-it-yourself type, and woodworking or cabinetry is a hobby you have some expertise at, you can even build your own vanity, saving you a lot of money. You can find plans for bathroom vanity cabinets online, or if you’re creative as well, you can design your own cabinet after deciding what hardware and sinks you’d like to use.
As you can tell, discount bathroom vanity cabinets are easily available and don’t take much work to find at all. They can even create a fun project to keep you busy for a few days if you’d like. It all depends on how hands-on you’d like to get with your remodeling project. Building your own vanity cabinet has the advantages of more personalization and your choice of materials, allowing you to control the price completely. Used or overstocked vanities that you buy from a store or online have the advantages of being straight forward installs and less work.
How you tackled the project is, of course, up to you. Hopefully you’ve gotten a few good ideas from this article. Keep in mind that even though you are on a budget and trying to save money, you still want your vanity to flow well with the rest of your décor, and you need to be happy with the outcome. photo credit: Andrew|W
