Custom Floating Vanity | Step-by-Step for Total Beginners

I built a custom floating vanity with drawers and a waterfall edge… because I was literally getting ready on the floor like a teenager 😅

This DIY floating vanity build is perfect for beginners looking to create a custom, built-in look without hiring it out.

In this video, I’m walking you through how to build a floating vanity step-by-step including: the vanity carcass, mitered waterfall edge, drawer boxes, drawer slides and installation using a cleat system.

This was only my second time building drawers and I’ll be honest, this project pushed me. But that’s the point. You don’t need to be an expert to build something custom. You just need to start.

If you’ve been wanting to DIY a bathroom vanity, bedroom vanity or floating makeup station, this tutorial will show you how to create a clean, modern, built-in look on a real budget.

Next up in this space: adding a mirror, lighting, and the finishing touches so make sure you subscribe and come back for the full bedroom reveal.
