Feeling like your bathroom mirror is more "meh" than masterpiece? Does your medicine cabinet resemble a monster more than a marvel? Don't fret! Unleash your inner DIY extraordinaire and transform your bathroom blues into brag-worthy bliss with a custom-built medicine cabinet that's both beautiful and functional. Bonus: It includes a mirror – perfect for those last-minute outfit checks before conquering the day! This guide is perfect for DIYers of all levels, from Sydney to London, New York to Europe!
Before You Dive In:
Grab your toolbox and get ready to unleash your inner builder! This beginner-friendly project is perfect for creating a statement piece in your bathroom.
Pro Tip: Do you want your medicine cabinet to seamlessly blend into the wall (recessed) or proudly proclaim its awesomeness on the surface? Both options have perks! Recessed cabinets offer more storage space, while surface-mounted cabinets are a breeze to install.
Safety First, Fun Always!
Safety glasses, check! Dust mask, check! Awesome playlist to keep you company, double check! Taking safety precautions like wearing closed-toe shoes, long pants, and using ear protection will ensure this project is a blast, not a disaster.
Let's Get Building!
Measure Twice, Cut Once (A Carpenter's Wise Words!)
Befriend your walls with a stud finder to locate the perfect spot for your cabinet. Mark those measurements down with precision!
Calling All Carpentry Ninjas!
Time to cut your lumber using a miter saw or circular saw. We're talking about the cabinet box, shelves, and that all-important mirror frame.
Building Blocks of Bathroom Bliss
Assemble the cabinet box using construction adhesive and brad nails. Don't forget to add those essential shelf supports – they'll hold all your bathroom essentials.
Mirror, Mirror, on the Wall...
Let's create a dazzling door! Secure the mirror to the back of the door frame and add some cove molding for an extra touch of pizazz.
Painting Power!
Now for the fun part (besides building an awesome cabinet) – painting! Choose a color that complements your bathroom's unique vibe.
Hang Time!
Attach the door to the cabinet using hinges, and voila! Your very own medicine cabinet masterpiece is ready to be mounted to the wall (surface-mounted) or nestled into that perfect spot you created (recessed).
The Finishing Touches
Seal any gaps with caulk to keep moisture at bay, and add some finishing touches like a magnetic catch to keep the door securely closed.
So there you have it! Your bathroom is no longer a source of sighs, but a space that sparks joy (and flawless mirror selfies). High five for conquering this DIY project and creating a medicine cabinet that's as unique as you are!
