Howdy and happy Tuesday! I'grand back to share the plans and tutorial for my daughter'due south DIY Makeup Vanity. If yous missed the tutorial on how to brand that pretty mirror with lights, check it out here. Honestly, this piece of article of furniture is and so versatile – information technology can serve as a desk, console table, accent table… yous name information technology! Because my daughter is eight years old, going on 18, she's using information technology every bit her makeup vanity. She'due south into all things lip gloss and glitter these days.

Ugh, glitter: my Arch Nemesis.

I kept the design of this DIY Makeup Vanity very simple because I was racing confronting the clock – I had a LasikPlus procedure scheduled, so I had to get it done before my surgery. (By the mode, if yous're curious about Lasik, I documented my unabridged experience on my Instagram highlights!) It took but two days to build and finish this projection and we're so excited with how it turned out! Read on for the tutorial for this DIY makeup vanity and download the plans below by clicking the gray push at the end of this post.

My friend Karen came over and helped me with this project, which too saved me some valuable time. If you can build with a friend, I highly recommend it. Building with a buddy can non just make better use of your time, merely information technology's a lot more than fun as well! While Karen was making the cuts, I was assembling the pieces together. Teamwork makes the dream piece of work!

Dewalt ATOMIC 20-Volt Brushless Bear on / Drill Driver Philharmonic Kit

Before this year, I attended The Home Depot'due south ProSpective Tool issue in Atlanta and I was able to try out these new touch on and drill drivers from Dewalt. It'southward a function of their new Atomic line – they're much more than compact in size, brushless, and battery-powered.

The combo kit includes a drill/driver, an impact driver, two 20-volt MAX lithium ion batteries, 1 charger, and a carrying bag. I love that it's a smaller tool that fits into my small hands, just information technology doesn't compromise on power or performance. The impact commuter is about 5 inches from forepart to back while the drill/commuter is well-nigh vi inches from front to back and they're both super lightweight at 2.4 lbs. Even with its smaller size, I didn't notice whatever subtract in capability. They worked great for this project, especially when I had to fit the drill into tight spaces as I installed the drawer slides.

After drilling the pocket holes, assembly went pretty smoothly. The carcass came together rapidly, and so I turned my attention to building and installing the drawer. If y'all're intimidated by installing drawer slides, don't be! Here's an easy fashion to do it.

How to build and install a drawer – the easy style!

Offset, measure out the infinite where the drawer will go and build the drawer an inch narrower. Standard drawer slides typically need a 1/two-inch clearance on each side. Make sure your drawer is square – this will go on it from binding. To do so, mensurate the drawer from corner to corner, diagonally. These measurements should match. If they don't, clasp the long side together to shift the drawer into foursquare and secure into place.

Next, there will be two pieces to each side of the slide – the slice that screws onto the cabinet and the piece that screws onto the drawer. Continue these 2 pieces together and screw the drawer slide onto the cabinet. Exercise this for the other side as well.

Then, slide the drawer box into identify. Pull the drawer box out a few inches, forth with the piece of the drawer slide that attaches to the drawer box. Attach the ii front end screws to the drawer box then pull the drawer box and the slide out more, then screw in the middle screws. Finally, pull the drawer out all the way, along with the slide, and drive the concluding spiral at the back of the slide. I shared a video of this technique on my Instagram stories if you want to bank check it out.

The easiest style to adhere the drawer face is to slide the drawer box in place, then position the drawer face and clamp it in place. Shoot a few brad nails from the within, to attach the drawer face to the drawer box temporarily. Drill a airplane pilot hole for the drawer knobs and install the drawer knobs. Now that the confront is on, you can reinforce it past driving a few more screws from the inside.

Finally, I cutting the remaining pieces and fastened them to the vanity. Pro tip: use a cream insulation panel as your cutting mat, then y'all don't damage your garage floor!

My daughter picked out this pretty Vintage Aqua wood stain by Varathane. She's currently in an "anti-pink" stage. A quick coat of the stain followed by this water-based polyurethane, and I'm calling this DIY makeup vanity done!
