IKEA sink with wood vanity

I liked the size and price of IKEA's HýLLVIKEN sink but did not like the cheap particle board IKEA cabinet that was supposed to go with it. I decided to build my own.

Step 1Building the cabinet

I knew the exact measurements of the sink and I drew out plans for the cabinet. I found a reference image online of a cabinet that I liked.

When I had the plan drawn out, I cut all my wood pieces and sanded them. I then used wood glue and heavy duty screws to put the pieces together.

I've attached the cabinet plans in a PDF to show you the exact measurements for all your wood pieces.

Where did you get the awesome hardware for the drawer?

Also, how much did the whole project cost? I'd love to do the same thing but wonder if it's comparable in cost to buying something ready made.

very nice. I've been wanting to do this for a while, just the way you've done it, with that same sink, even. I could really use some pictures of the way you've attached it to the wall, as well as whatever tricks you can share on building boxes that are square--as an amateur, I'm afraid mine will be crooked.

Just make sure you cut all your wood pieces perfectly square. It helps that I had use of my dads table saws. Just take your time. Measure twice and cut once.....

Wow, this looks really really good! So good in fact that I will be using this ible to redo my own bathroom, and I didnt even want to! Looks fantastic, but I do agree with etlerd with pics of attaching to the wall. Great ible and great look!

I just uploaded the PDF with wood measurements and a photo showing how I mounted it to the wall. Hope that helps.

Great project! It isn't very "instructable" though.....

I've uploaded a PDF with the exact measurements of all the wood pieces that need to be cut. Hope that helps to make it more "instructable." thanks.
