- Today we are making my gorgeous DIY bathroom vanity, from start to (almost) finish!! We are starting with a piece of wood and turning it into something beautiful with my handmade vessel sink! The finishing touches on my fixer upper house renovation are the most exciting!!
Hey there! My name is Abby and I recently bought a MAJOR fixer upper house. I am SO excited to work on fixing it up this old house and turning it into my dream home. I can't wait to take you on this journey with me! I am planning to DIY as much as I can and learn so much about home renovations along the way. I am starting out totally clueless so I am sure it will be a grand adventure! Follow along on my channel if you want to see DIY projects, renovating a house on a budget, and I am sure a lot of craziness along the way! I'm just a girl with a drill and a dream.

You should be SOOOOOOOOOOO proud of yourself Abby!!!! Every time you wash your hands you'll know YOU installed most of this area YOURSELF!!!!! Congratulations my dear!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉💖🙏🏻
You built that beautiful vanity area with your own two hands! You should be proud of yourself!
All those skills that were lying dormant You even surpass your own dreams
When your finished with this house your going to realize even more what a gift Jay is, that he took the time to show you so much to make your participation in it come true.😊
I love the smell of wood being cut
Excellent job Abby. You personally have come so far. You are getting the skills for a new career!
It's amazing that you can do this for yourself! I'm more impressed that you will know exactly what and HOW your home works. You have the absolute advantage that you can always refer to your videos to refresh your knowledge!
Happy Birthday to Jay! I pray he has a blessed day!
"Ok guys...Look at this.., Let's not freak out.". Ah ha😅 I love these little saying you come up with. I really think it's neat how you built the 2 shelves into the wall , this is special or custom. Your vision design and implementation are or always impressive. Your Dad was graceful to take a short shelf out of a live edge table! Big bucks, only the best for his daughter. Nice work, my w.w. instructor used to say worm holes are natural and later my boss would say planer marks and milling marks are natural, but yeah, sometimes that perfectly clean wood look is nice too, it's about time is money also. Labor cost. What else..you continue to inspire me and us. Your really good at knocking out those drywall cuts, I see how your Dad has influenced your work, both completion oriented and great vision. Yes, your paint can be of a sealing nature and your sealing caulk will finish it nicely a damp rag and your finger makes the perfect radius with the caulk, keep. A few paper towels handy, it is slick and you will enjoy it. Lastly, regarding cracks and caulk, my other boss used to say "don't worry John, I have 1/2" puddy". We used to take a small container (1 ounce ea.) or light puddy and one of dark puddy, same product, then blend to color match, and you could not see the brad nail holes filled. Put your 1st coat of varnish on, then puddy then put coat 2 and 3 on of varnish, because if you puddy after the stain you will bleed the stain and it shows up icky, so puddy after 1 st sealing coat. From the heart, I hope that makes sense. Love from Alaska.
I love that you've learned to measure and cut out for odd shapes and outlets/switches.
Abby, I want to take a minute to address something with you. I enjoy watching home renovations and that type of content. There is a LOT of it on youtube. But I don't subscribe to most of it. The reason I subscribe to your channel is because you are always positive and upbeat. Listen I know in the two years you've been doing this there have to have been setbacks and frustrations and things that didn't go right. But I've never seen you complain. You seem to have a never-ending supply of smiles and excitement and for myself when I'm having a tough day your "hello friends!" and genuine smile seems to make things better. I am here cheering you on for every completed project every step of the way. I sincerely look forward to seeing you someday complete the house and be living there. I want to see you just sit for a minute looking out the bay window or making breakfast in the kitchen or enjoying the garden full of flowers without the distraction of thinking there is more to do. You deserve the satisfaction and pride in all your hard work. THANK YOU! to you and Jay and the whole team that keeps this job running.
I think you have a second career!!!! What an AMAZING job you did!!!!
All I can say is, WOW!!
Our amazing little Abby , How far you've come . This is absolutely a great home coming together . Looking forward to the finished product !!!!! YEAH ! 🧡💛💚💙💜💥💫
Abby I AM SO PROUD OF YOU!!
And then the the other super-fun stuff starts - the waterproofing, the tiling, the grouting, the endless sponging of the grouting. You've got this!👍
Great design idea for the sink. Does anyone else see ET's face on the bottom shelf? The sink is incredible. So glad the holes on the front of the top shelf weren't filled. Coming along great.
ET Phone Home 😅
Girl, you did that sheet rock!!!!! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
It all looks fabulous Abby!! I love that you are showcasing a piece of your Dad's timber too.
Dang Abby you are the sheet rock queen 😂
I personally love the worm holes.
Look at you go, girl!!!
Wow! Love the color of the wood you stained, beautiful! You have a wealth of knowledge that will be so useful in years to come if you need to do any repairs on your home, you know how everything was put together and how it all works. You Rock!
You've got this down sister!
Really nice! Good job Abbe!
The stain is absolutely beautiful ❤️
My goodness Abby... you are absolutely amazing!
Abby both top and Bottom shelf looks beautiful and the sink will look awesome on the shelf and the tub too❤
That will come together perfectly. I think you put in as many hours researching your decor as you did executing it.
The stain is beautiful! It’s perfect with your sink….❤️
Abby the Manifesto Extraordinair!! You go girl! ❤️😉👍
The downstairs bathroom looks awesome!!!! Thanks for sharing Abby...
Watching on vacation from the UK.
Abby that stain is beautiful on your shelf
I love the vanity and sink
Abby…the vanity looks fantastic…….you are very talented….i love watching the evolvement of your little nest….its so entertaining and fun.
Love the vanity, the floating shelves are perfect, well done
The vanity is looking awesome!! Any thoughts on topping the divide and shelf next to toilet with a stained wood ledge? Maybe even the long shelf spanning the room with the stained wood shelf as well. Just a thought 🤔. The wood is so stunning, why not showcase it? You're doing an amazing job!!! Keep up the good work 😄.
I thought she said at the beginning, that that was what she's going to do.
Look around& see how far you've come & all the skills you've learned from.helping Jay! You could probably rebuild another house with all your new knowledge! I would love to have a teacher like Jay! You are so lucky to have a friend like Jay! Your house is beautiful! Congratulations!
Abby, I really love what you did in your bathroom!! You've thought of everything!! So awesome!! 😁💕
Your build is truly coming together and it looks fantastic!!! 🥰❤️🙏❤️🏡🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
I would put a board on top of that little wall between the sink and toilet.
It’s coming together 🎉awesome !
That is a gorgeous color! Good work.
Love the grain coming through, good job Abby❤
Thank you Abby. I would put some stained boards under the sink so that the pipes are not in the eye line?❤
Pretty progress!! Love it! I thought at first it didn't fit the aesthic of the home..but I am sure once it's finished it will all be cohesive. It is looking very modern. Great job!
Looks like real antique look
Hey, Abby, Gary Haywood from North Carolina. I like watching I love watching you all build your house.
Keep up the good work
My wife and I LOL'd at your jacket from when you were staining the wood to when you were fitting it into the bathroom.
I had to laugh, also. She's been putting in some hard core work.
Abi maybe you could line out the framing on the toilet side to make room for toilet rolls and toilet brush and cleaning supplies for your bathroom! You could make a little curtain to put in front of it the lined out part if you don’t have room for doors . That would look in keeping with house.
Abby, I think you made a great choice for the color of the vanity. It looks really pretty. ❤
That slab would make a gorgeous table
You are something else! I love your ideas and your work ethics. Keep up the great work!
God is Good!!! And you are doing a good job!
Love the stain color and the sink! - watching from Lake Wales, Florida
Abby, take some of that sawdust and mix it with clear wood putty, put in that worm hole and when it dries, and sanded, you won't even see the worm hole!
Great progress. Love the stain color! You are a sheetrock master!
PG here, wonderfulcleanup video. It really helps. You may want to cover everything you can when you are sanding the walls down. The dust will get every where. I've gone to good will and got some old sheets, curtains, sheer,s etc. Try to keep the windows clean. and the radiators.
It is all gorgeoous everytime in each new video!!
Very nice bathroom, Abby!!
So exciting!!!!!!!!!!
Very fun stuff happened here. You have planned things out so well thankyou for such a good video to watch so excited for you. Thankyou for sharing. God's Blessings and Peace goodness of God being shown for all of us to see.
Everything looks so amazing Abbey 😊
Nice look. Consider tile around sink and on top of the half wall. Horizontal sheetrock will be a nightmare to keep dry.
That was a really good design, the wood is beautiful.
Gorgeous ❤
It looks so good Abby! The wood and sink bowl looks very cool. Well done.
Hey Abby, it looks really good! Be sure to polyurethane even the sides so moisture doesn't seep into the board and warp it. Especially for a bathroom environment.
Everything is coming together so nicely so happy for you!!!
The whole house is looking soooo good. So different now. Good job!!
Good job little Lady! It is fun watching things come together for us, we can only imagine what it is like for you!
Beautiful!! the half wall would look great with a matching wood top too.
Great work. You have such a good design eye and now you are building the skill set to bring it to life
Abby, great job, so enjoy these video's😅
This is really exciting. And, yes your plans are beautiful. 💕💕
Look at you putting up Sheetrock like a pro Abby. Love the stained wood for sink. You have learned some life long skills. 😊
Love it!
Looks great Abby. Your vision is coming together! Can’t wait to see the next video. ❤
One thing we all know about you Abbie is you are a high energy woman ,that is not a bad thing .! Help us to be your friend by communication .We love you here in Geraldton , the
Rangeway cruel !.
The wood color looks very nice 👍 nice work!!
Seeing it all coming to life is so exciting!
Abby it looks amazing, well done. You Rock!🎉
Thanks Abby…Looks amazing!
A matching board on top of the half wall would make it look more finished. Router out the bottom of the board to give the half wall a "lid" and then screw it in or glue it on the half wall. I love the sink set up and the stain finish on it. Can't wait to see it done!
Exactly, I said the same thing.
Beautiful and the shelves are nice too.
Yes Abby you should be very proud of yourself you are doing awesome!
Love the vanity! Love your vision! 💓
Abby, love the look of the new sink and vanity. The whole issue you might have with sink is water splashing out.. The flat vessel sinks are good for that... Foam brushes are good for stain also... no bristles to remove. LOL
What a wonderful piece of wood. Im so passionate about hardwood and its beautiful grain. You are so blessed to have this in your home. Your dad is such a lovely man❤😊
I love the color!! It looks so warm and expensive. High five sweetheart 🖐 🙏💞
I see it all done.Lov from South Alabama.
Pretty!
I love the color stain what a great job how exciting
everything coming together nicely .
Looks great!
Fabulous
So you use your garage freezer for a work table too! I brought in our garage a small table that my husband could use for his work atea to get to the frozen food in my freezer. That work table is full!! But we're trying very hard not to put stuff on the little freezer, LOL!😊
Your doing a great job with your house
Hi Abby,
You definitely will need more poly added around the sink, ask me how I know 🥺
It’s beautiful ❤
Fabulous Abby!!
