Materials: Blanda Blank serving bowl, Lagan kitchen mixer tap, wooden board, plastic pipe
Description: Walking through my Ikea local store, I saw this beautiful serving bowl, and I thought: "This is a face basin for sure!". But it was not. So I had to turn it into a face basin.
First of all, I cut a hole (around 25 cm of diameter) into a wooden board.
Biggest problem met was to adapt the bottom of the bowl so that the water would run completely.
I solved that hitting the bottom of the bowl with a round pointed hammer.
I cut a hole at the bottom of the bowl.
I placed the bowl into the hole in the wooden board, and I connected the pipe (bent like to create a syphon).
Voila! My beautiful face basin for my wooden country house!

ReplyDeleteyes i think that looks really good, well done
ReplyDeleteI just love this simple, minimalist and unpretentious look.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
Makes me think of Pippa's kitchen skimmer --> soap dish. Here it's kitchen salad bowl --> bathroom sink.
2 similarly innovative minds. Kudos!

You might want to lengthen your drain hose to create more of a bend. The point of the curve is to create a water trap to prevent sewer gasses from flowing back into your home.
ReplyDeleteLove the impromptu look of this washroom. Jist perfect for a vacation cottage.

This looks lovely, and you could improve the look by changing the white pipe underneath with a metal one. It is easy and inexpensive, I have one in my own bathroom
ReplyDeleteLooks good! I'm planning something like that in my lavatories. Can you tell me what tool you used cutting a hole in the bottom of the bowl? Was it a steel drill or something like that?
ReplyDeletei really like this! Impromptu, unpretencious and functional. That bowl must've cost you like £10. Unbelievable price for a new sink. Well done!
