Cherry wood floating sink

A nice bathroom redo from Denis.

He says, "I used a Hollviken sink but created my own floating counter with cherry wood.

Here is the bathroom before to show the uglyness.


And here are 2 photos at different angles of the sink.

  3. I really like the results of this hack. I've been wanting to do something very similar. Any chance of getting some instructions or a step-by-step guide of some kind for this?

  5. A very nice job.

    I would love to see the plans for this. I think a sink like that would look great in my guest bathroom.

  6. It pretty easy, just make a box with 3/4 plywood with any finish you like but the secret to have no screw showing is "The Kreg® Mini Pocket Hole Jig" great and strong to screw it from the back.

  8. I agree with Archie...uhhh, I don't see what was wrong with the old style, and would definitely call it far from "uglyness." The old style had some character, some color, some flavor. I loved the colors, the bathtub "step," the plant (plants in all rooms!!!), the hanging light, the mirror, the tile...RIP nice bathroom.

  12. Huh? To each his own, I guess. I would rip out the new one and rebuild the old one. The new one looks like Dracula's. Sharp angles, tub that looks like a coffin. I find it cold and austere. The wood floor is nice but the rest is definitely a downgrade. Ah, well... beauty is in the eye of the beholder. All the old bathroom really needed was a big ol spa tub... and the light. But if it makes you happy, then be happy!
