Ikea Undermount Bathroom Sink
Customizing IKEA Godmorgon Vanity
When trying to find the right vanity for our bathroom renovation I felt frustrated by the insane prices of the vanities on the market. I wanted a custom look but needed to be mindful of cost. I discovered Semihandmade a while back and LOVED how their fronts turn an inexpensive IKEA product into a custom dream. After spending weeks searching the internet I threw up my arms and decided to go to IKEA. I knew Semihandmade made fronts for the IKEA Godmorgon cabinet. So I cornered a couple of IKEA sales associates and asked A LOT of questions. My biggest concern was the weight of a custom countertop. The two associates were "pretty sure" that putting real stone on top wasn't going to work but they were wrong. 🙌🏼 To be clear...I am very much an advocate of trusting the specialist. But in this situation, they just seemed… confused. So I reached out to a contractor who said, "no problemo".
Quick tip - ask questions until you're blue in the face. And if someone seems unsure of their answer, ask someone else.
Before we even started on the plumbing, I planned out where the cabinet would be and where the plumbing line needed to poke through. My biggest concerns were making the accommodation for the sink underbelly in the top drawer and making sure the plumbing and p-trap didn't impede on the top rear wall of the lower drawer. I sat down with my contractor and we measured out the cabinet and where the plumbing line needed to come through. It was a team effort. If you're a savvy renovator, I'm sure you could figure this out.. but at 7 months pregnant there was no way I was trusting my math. ha!
Quick tip - sometimes you can find a contractor that will come out for an hourly rate to provide a consultation on how to do something!
Once the undermount sink/countertop combo was installed we added the p-trap and additional plumbing pieces. Once in, we were able to measure out how much of the top drawer needed to be cut back. We also had to shave the very back of the bottom drawer down a tiny tiny bit so it would completely close. But it worked and I was victorious!
For those of you looking to do this same set-up, I hope this helps answer the questions you may have!
