It's WISE to DIY: Thrify Ideas for the Do-It-Yourselfer

He Took This Vanity From “Meh” to MODERN For TWENTY ($20!!) BUCKS!!!

Basically what has been done here is that he has put a thin coat of cement over the sink using a great product called Henry’s Feather Finish.

He sanded the original finish:

Put 2 more coats, allowing each coat to dry overnight and sanding in-between.

He also painted the cabinets under the sink and replaced the mirror. BEAUTIFUL!!

My first concern with this project would definitely be it’s longevity and wearability but according to designer trapped:

First, we completed this project a little over 3 months ago and it is holding up PERFECTLY!  It looks just as good as it did when we finished it.  I am curious as to whether and/or how often we will have to re-seal it, but so far, so good!

Here is a video to walk you through it:

Thank you to designer trapped for this incredible tutorial and idea!  Great pics, too! See their site for the full supply list, all the details and more pictures on this fast and cheap transformation.
