I want to keep the vanity I have in one of my bathrooms, but would just like to replace the doors and drawer facings on it to update it. What's my next step?

Thanks for any help!:)

It's likely easier and cheaper to replace the entire vanity than try to replace individual doors and mirrors.

Try to find something of good quality. We put up one from hardware department store and find the doors are sagging after six months.

Good luck!

Of course, the cheap solution would be to paint. You can buy pressure application wood veneer at HD and lowes, if you want that route. Contact paper has come a long way, and has some nice stuff that is straightforward to apply.

You could have someone make some replacements or try to find doors somewhere. I doubt that you will find replacement drawer fronts.

Hope this helps.

If you have an older home, or want to make your vanity look antiqish, you can go to a salvage outlet from old torn down homes and find older drawer fronts and doors to your liking and they are usually not bad on the prices.
