Faktum in the bathroom? Yes you can!

At the same time, I also like the slickness of the Abstrakt series. <br /><br />So I took a 80cm wide Hollviken and I mounted it on a 80cm faktum base cabinet designed to resist the weight of a ceramic sink. <br /><br /><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZuDrc7qwhGWCdUz7rMdUCqOVKl_2xWTJNEo1oVNzZSOUviDxOqd4SHtxlZPX84ZPl9rA33lSF3xhXBLUv6IV1vFGVlGUs6J8_Wl6nGWlR38JaY470-_HQYA7mxes2F4Dx4IhYyC-VqY4/s1600/DSCF2255-737819.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5619712757536549826" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZuDrc7qwhGWCdUz7rMdUCqOVKl_2xWTJNEo1oVNzZSOUviDxOqd4SHtxlZPX84ZPl9rA33lSF3xhXBLUv6IV1vFGVlGUs6J8_Wl6nGWlR38JaY470-_HQYA7mxes2F4Dx4IhYyC-VqY4/s640/DSCF2255-737819.JPG" width="450" /></a></div><br />Problem was that it was too wide so I had to cut it.

Very Vanity Vessel Hack aka Vanity with vessel sink

I wanted a vessel sink, but we couldn't afford the expensive vessel sinks seen in the modern stores, so we set out to make our own.....hence the very vanity vessel hack. <br />I connected two Billy birch veneer book shelves in tandem with a piece of extra Billy Book shelf side of wood in between but with the opening opposite each other, this created a nuck on the inside facing the sink to place long items. On the outside, I placed shelving to display items and the one facing the vanity, I placed book shelves too, but I put glass door on it, so that I could place all of my toiletries, etc. <br /><br /><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgj7I5Phh3wb1mAOD21sHq604YlSxYXresFRzde276_jhyphenhyphen70mQswwZSSRSYAFg6Xi8F7DNknuLmdHTdAj0lb9a36bYbubYIU95qwPFcEUhlKBnSvbyJmYiUvdmVzSZ-ODrvyk8u-hdzVeg/s1600/3rd+Floor+018-761528.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" height="300" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5501992099776790418" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgj7I5Phh3wb1mAOD21sHq604YlSxYXresFRzde276_jhyphenhyphen70mQswwZSSRSYAFg6Xi8F7DNknuLmdHTdAj0lb9a36bYbubYIU95qwPFcEUhlKBnSvbyJmYiUvdmVzSZ-ODrvyk8u-hdzVeg/s400/3rd+Floor+018-761528.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKjCvnhF_IkVJzdmtqtGsYWYmZQv7zaUkAfyMszyPoC5c1WmK37Fd4QRQOchovtI9tjMHdoGSDiHhu5fNo83NylWZ25ujXgKRRi6RtbKQxYqGvlrOafBzS56bWSkhb4wAw2VgsZaPSwDI/s1600/3rd+Floor+030-762964.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" height="640" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5501992105134453730" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKjCvnhF_IkVJzdmtqtGsYWYmZQv7zaUkAfyMszyPoC5c1WmK37Fd4QRQOchovtI9tjMHdoGSDiHhu5fNo83NylWZ25ujXgKRRi6RtbKQxYqGvlrOafBzS56bWSkhb4wAw2VgsZaPSwDI/s640/3rd+Floor+030-762964.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br />Keys to the hack: <br />1- securing the bookshelf to the wood piece to the next book shelf <br />2- finishing the exposed edges with iron-on birth colored wood veneer I found at a local hardware store <br />3 - left-over travertine tile broken up to form a mosaic pattern on our home made vessel sink-cabinet. <br />4 - extra birch wood side book shelf found in discount section of Ikea <br /><br />If I had a do-over, I would have put the short legs on the bottom, but we tried that and it was too tall for me to use.<br /><br />~ Ikeeea 'cause I-cannaa
