The centerpiece of any bathroom is the vanity. It not only holds the sink, but it also provides valuable storage. Its finish and style often help set the palette for the entire room. When you're choosing this all-important component of your bathroom scheme, you don’t have to settle for what you can find in the stores. There are unique DIY projects that can replicate the many different vanity styles common in today's bathrooms, from large wall-to-wall units to small statement pieces. DIY possibilities range from simple upgrades using paint or fun drawer pulls to inventively upcycled dressers or vintage pieces. Need some ideas? Here are a few fine examples of DIY vanities to get your creative juices flowing.

This sink is MADE TO ORDER and will take 4-5 weeks to compete (Etsy says one in stock but that does not actually mean I have one ready to ship, this listingis for a sink that I will have to make). The pictures are examples of sinks I have done in the past so you can see a few different options as far as color and sea creature options, no two sinks will ever be a like (the last picture is of a customer installed sink, the actual sink does not come with faucet or drain pipe). This listing is for a round sink up to 16" wide (with max depth of 7") or an oval with max legth of 17" (if you need a larger sink please convo me prior to purchase and I can tell you the price difference). You can choose whether you sea turtles and which smaller sea creatures you want (I have a variety which include sea shells, sand dollars, starfish, lobsters, crabs, smaller turtles and fish). I first throw the sink on on a potter's wheel, then trim the underneath to give it a foot ring like a bowl so it will sit on surface (counter/dresser/vintage table) nicely. I sculpted a sea turtle and made a plaster mold so that I can replicate them but each sea turtle will be different doe to the different position/pose they take when added the the sink. I will press the clay into the mold to make the sea turtles and then manipulate each one with a different position and slight different body shape. The turtles and sea creatures are then joined to the sink using clay slip (liquid clay). I will make and position 2-4 turtles on this sink per this listing and your combination of sea creatures. The rim will . Because this sink has the added sculptural elements it will need a slow drying time, that is why it will take 4-5 weeks to complete. When it is dry I will bisque it (pre-fire for glaze) and glazed it. I primarily do crystalline glazes for the sinks and can pretty much find a way to do most colors but if you are interested in a certain color that you do not see in any of my work please convo me to see if I can do it. I will need the size of your drain pipe which is usually 1 1/4", 1 1/2" or 1 3/4" in diameter prior to shipping. (Drain pipe is NOT included) Thanks for your interest! Please cut and paste my weebly website address if you are interested in seeing how they are made: http://www.customartsinks.com/how-they-are-created.html Crystalline glazed ceramics is a very involved process. The flower-like appearance of the glaze is actually zinc crystals that grow in the glaze during a slow controlled cooling after the peak temperature is reached. The glaze is very fluid and tends to run of the pot so a catcher is also thrown and fired under the piece to catch the run off glaze. The catcher is then separated and the bottom is ground down if there are any sharp edges or uneven glaze pools. Since the process is so involved there is a lot that can go wrong, so each successful piece is precious and completely unique. The porcelain is a cone 9/10 porcelain fired to cone 9/10, that means it is completely vitrified (glass like) and will not absorb water. Please do not use abrasive cleaners (this will wear down the glaze over time). Plumbing not included. I am now packaging myself and shipping through USPS due to breakage occurring with other methods. They are insured. Packaging for two boxes and bubble wrap is about $10-15 per sink and the actual shipping cost varies based on delivery distance from me. I do refund shipping overcharges or would be happy to change the price prior to purchase if you shipping is less because of location proximity to me.
