Bathroom Vanity

When I first moved into my new apartment, It came set with a small bathroom vanity mirror. I'm sure at one point it was very charming, but the years were starting to show and it looked as though it could use a little bit of elbow grease.

I started with the open shelving. Having all of your personal hygiene products left out in the open just didn't feel right.

It's a small space, so it didn't make much sense to build a door or two. I decided to go with tiny curtains instead.

Materials

> Fabric
> Iron-on Fabric Glue Ribbon
> Metal Fabric Rings
> Coat Hanger
> Tools [Drill/Dremel, Pliers, Iron, etc...]

The Process

I measured the opening of the cabinet, and taped off a piece of fabric. I added to the length for slack, and included a border around that area the size of a width of ribbon, so it can be folded back in the hem.

Then I punched in the fabric rings, spacing them evenly down the length. The extra ring on the end in the picture is to make the ends less likely to move.

I drilled a hole on either end of the inside of the cubby, and popped in the wire.

I put an extending mirror on the side where a panel was missing, and there you have it.
