My daughter lives in a 2 bedroom circa 1940’s bungalow style house in Suffolk VA. She and her husband bought the house 5 years ago. It had been vacant, neglected, but not abused. They have been constantly updating and remodeling the house. I live 12 hours away by car so unfortunately have not been able to help much. The house had a kitchen added to the back probably in the late 1960s. This year they decided to convert the back room to a bedroom with a full bath and to move the kitchen back to its original place in the house. My daughter pretty much served as the general contractor. She has always been creative and fearless. She has worked hard to preserve some of the vintage character of the house while updating it. As she remodeled the new bedroom she installed wide trim to match the original house. She went with hardwood floors and purchased vintage 4 panel doors and hardware. She tiled the new bath similar to how the main bath is tiled. In keeping with the style of the house she purchased vintage lime green toilet and cast iron sink. She wanted a mid-century style vanity and wanted the sink under mounted. But of course she didn’t have the budget for a custom Vanity so I won the bid. MCM is not my personal cup of tea but I took it on. The design was fairly simple. She wanted a solid wood counter top as well. The cabinet and drawer fronts are solid walnut. As is the counter top. Ply wood was used for the bottom. I purchased a 10’ 14” wide 6/4 live edge slab for the counter top. I agonized over cutting away the sap wood and placing the knots so they would fall in the sink layout. My goal was to have this done at Christmas, but then unplanned demands in November put me behind schedule. With any luck the final product will be I delivered by the end of February.
