Wow. Our bathroom is 2 1/2 years old! It’s hard to believe because it still feels so current and new to us.
We recently had a photo shoot at our house for an upcoming feature, and everything was legitimately the cleanest it has ever been, and I just HAD to document it. I shared a BTS tour on my IG stories, and I got asked more than a dozen times where my vanity came from. We remodeled our bathroom about the time dressers-turned-vanities were a new thing, but I was having a hard time finding a dresser that fit the specifications and style I was going for, so, I decided to design my own with a local cabinet company! I sourced the brass tapered legs and hardware, and voila!
Working with the trade to design your own piece of furniture is enthralling, and I hope to do it again someday soon! Anyway, I was checking out West Elm’s newer pieces of furniture a few days ago and spotted the Delphine cabinet.
You guys, – it’s basically my vanity without the drawers! Marble top and everything!!! You can easily drill a hole in the marble and place a vessel sink on top and you have yourself a mid-century inspired bathroom vanity! There’s room inside for a P-trap, which is the main concern when converting a dresser to a vanity. I literally couldn’t write this post fast enough so share with you this idea. I spent about $1300 total on our vanity (cabinet + marble + legs + sink) so this seems like a steal! less than half the price of what we paid, you could get this:
cabinet | sink | faucet | mirror | sconces
This would be perfect for a powder or guest bath where you don’t need a lot of storage. Seriously! Someone needs to do this immediately!
I love this! Oh, how I wish I had a bathroom to renovate.
Where did you get the floor tile?
I believe the link to the floor tile is at the bottom of the post!
I can’t find a link to the floor tile – will you share the source please?

I am currently trying to figure out a redesign of a 65×65 inch master bath with a walk-in shower hidden behind one wall. (Shower must stay but it is separate from the 65×65 footprint). The mid-century modern house does not allow for expansion without huge costs involving removing outdoor hardscape situated over a ravine. Except for a bathroom remodel from the 1980’s, this house is original. I want to keep a modern but current look. I can use this small cabinet for the vanity. It will fit my current wall space where an ugly pedestal sink now sits. I am so excited and glad I looked at your ORC post.
Can you please share where you got your showerhead set from? I have been looking for something just like this set and have turned up empty-handed.
Here’s the link to the shower set! http://rstyle.me/n/ctyy8ds49n
I was just thinking about this and LOVE your creative idea of using a West Elm cabinet. Are there any other factors to consider in remodeling using a price of furniture? Did this with a 1/2 bath and sewing cabinet and added a Mexican sink. I love it and the space underneath but we had to lift it off the ground to make sure the plumbing worked without having to move this significantly. Thanks again for sharing. Your bathroom looks awesome!
This is perfect for my house, but I am worried because the west elm cabinet is only 14 inches deep. Do you still think that would work?
Oh my gosh, Im wondering the same!
Hi! Love this, thank you for sharing!!
I just wanted to ask how the cabinet and marble are holding up since the material is engineered wood with a veneer? We are about to do this with the larger Delphine Buffet.
Thank you! Your bathroom redesign is gorgeous, I’m lucky to have it to inspire our own. :)
Hi! Wondering who the cabinet manufacturer is for the vanity as well as the source for the legs.
Hi there! I mentioned you in my bathroom renovation article, I hope you don’t mind :) We went ahead with your suggestion on the West Elm cabinet and it looks fantastic, thank you!

I’m doing this!! Thank you!! Could I put faucets on vanity top or do I have to against wall.
We just finished gutting and refinishing our first floor bathroom and your pictures/ design were a huge inspiration to me! I love MCM and I am SO happy with my bathroom. I also found a fabulous contractor who helped me pull it off and I can’t wait for him to do more work with us, so that was a wonderful add-on. I found a fabulous MCM furniture maker on Etsy who custom made our vanity, very similar to yours. That was such a great idea b/c nothing I could find online would work and the price was similar. I wish I could attach pictures, but there doesn’t seem to be a way. I don’t have a website or anything, I just love to remodel our prior and now current old homes with a mix of our blood, sweat, and tears and the use of a contractor :)
