Bathroom Double Sink Vanity

Anyone know where I can find plans on making a double sink bathroom vanity? I have 7' 5" of space. My plan is to divide the area in thirds. Left & right ends for the sinks and the center for drawers/storage. Thanks.

Time for me to illustrate stupidity on my part. Every time I buy plans for a project I discover I am better off to measure space look at a few of the item in stores and decide what I really desire. As to bathroom vanities I plan to build one soon. When I do I will make a major departure from all I have seen in the past. In my case I can one use a 28 1/2" wide cabinet. The new one will be taller than current unit and have a drawer all the way across the bottom to hold toilet paper. A solid floor above that with three shallow drawers one one side and a cabinet door on the other side for plumbing access and storage. Why you ask a drawer on the bottom? Well T-P is hard stuff to store. My bathroom is tiny and my wife fills the cabinet area with stuff (Note I did not say JUNK!). Have fun figuring out the best cabinet ever. Jim

I was given the task by my wife who has not a clue about construction. But she knows what she likes & how to buy! The price on this vanity is between $2K and $3K, but I believe that includes the countertop and fixtures. I already have under-mount sinks and oil rubbed bronze faucets. I plan to use some type of solid-surface material for the counter.

This vanity is the last item on a 4 year project which we tore the garage roof off & extended the house over to create a 14' x 28' master bedroom and completely remodeled the top floor. Well, that's what my wife thinks... The primary goal: a 15' x 18' addition built onto the back of the garage for a wood workshop instead of keeping everything in the rear of the garage and pulling everything out into the driveway when I needed to do any woodworking. Wish I had the larger wheels back then... But the workshop was needed as was space.

Fortunately she found a pic of what she wants <crowd cheers!>. So I have a pic! Now comes the design and then construction which will allow me to even do some turning and my lathe duplicator (or I could just keep the legs square). I'm attaching a pic.

It doesn't look to have a face frame, per se like many I've seen. It looks like 4 large 3"x3"x35" square pieces which are turned on the lower 1/3. These pieces serve as the legs and the corners of the vanity "box". The vanity looks to be very basic. The 72" looks to be my target width.

I've attempted to upload an image. I used to have no problem with these things until I switched from PCs to a Mac. I miss my old Paint feature on Windows. That was 4 years ago & I still can't do things which I automatically did with Windows. I am not looking for detailed drawing/plans from just this pic, but if anyone can suggest a link, book, or source where I could get plans that are similar, I'd appreciate it. I hate just working on the fly and letting the chips fly. I'd rather make mistakes on paper... One good thing is the vanity will be painted, so that will hide any mistakes unless I really do something wrong. Thanks in advance. T
