We consider ourselves thrifty folks here at UniqueVanities.com. Recently, I found a really neat looking large bowl at a garage sale. I couldn’t help but wonder if there was a possibility to make it into a vessel sink vanity to use in my half bath. So, having no construction experience, I emailed our on-staff General Contractor. It turns out you can!
First, the type of bowl you use needs to be considered. If you use something made out of thin glass, the chances that you could chip or break it altogether increase exponentially. Next, you’ll probably not want to do the cutting yourself. Unless you’re a skilled tradesperson in that area, a glass maker/cutter would be the person to call. Ensure they file the edges of the hole they cut, so if you remove the drain to unclog, remove hair, etc, you won’t cut yourself. Also, make sure to take in the exact measurements you will need to cut to fit a drain you’ve picked out. It’s easier to do it this way than to try to find a drain to fit a hole that’s already cut. Finally, ensure you’ve purchased a mounting ring to go between the sink and the surface on which you are installing a vessel sink. Then install…and enjoy!
