I wanted a bathroom vanity that would coordinate with my Jenny Lind bed. I looked at a lot of spool style dressers and tables and finally found a baby changing table that would give the same cottage style spindled look.

The bathroom is very small, so we chose a small IKEA ceramic sink top.
We cut the table down, both narrower and less deep, to fit the sink top.

If you look carefully, you can see the sensor valve from the  Hot Water Recirculating System. We have instant hot water. The sensor valve opens when the water on the hot water side cools and pushes the cool water back to the water heater. When the water gets hot, the valve closes.

You can see why the sink had to be small. There’s not a whole lot of room.
