DIY Concrete Vanity Top - Part V - The Final(?) Chapter

TA DAAA!



Not bad, eh? Not at all what I was aiming for, and yet, I think it looks pretty damn cool.

Sanding down the surface took the stain right off, except from the low spots and crags, which gave it a lot of dimension. I was a bit worried that without the stain it looked like a piece of sidewalk, and with it, it looked like a piece of asphalt. In the end, it's all good!

I think our vanity came out just like the farmhouse-industrial dohicky we wanted. :-)



Unfortunately, this does not mean the bathroom is done. The plumbers got a lot of work done, including putting in our new water heater and hooking up the faucets above (at least the sponge baths are warmer!). But the shower is a different story. We're having trouble keeping the clawfoot feet on the tub, and the engineering challenge is keeping us dirty.

The feet are tongue-and-groove (sort of), and it seems they keep wanting to slip out. Not good with a 400 pound iron tub. Plumbers won't be back until Tuesday, either. :-(
