DIY bathroom vanity backsplash/sidesplash
I'm venturing into the realm of DIY home renovations. I am going to install of the backsplash and side-splash that finally arrived at Home Depot.
Unfortunately, Home Depot did not have the matching side-splash for the vanity I purchased. I purchased side-splashes longer than needed and I found a place that'll trim the piece of cultured marble for me since I don't have any of the equipment.
Word of wisdom, if you ever replace your bathroom vanity, make sure what you're buying comes with the matching backsplash AND side-splash. You do not want to know how many hours of my life I spent searching the Home Depot website for backsplashes to match my vanity top, in the right lengths.
However, if you do go the route of buying a vanity, and you buy the side-splash and backsplash separately. Make sure you have all the parts in the house before any contractors arrive to install the vanity. Then everything will be taken care of at one time. Our bathroom, has been in this weird half finished stage for over a month now.
I've also spent an untold amount of time going through youtube tutorial videos on how to install these in my bathroom. I'm really nervous doing this myself and I have to remind myself this can't be harder than building my own computer way back in 2002 and gluing the processor to the motherboard....
I think the part that has me the most nervous is I need to scrap off all the caulk on the vanity top first so my backsplashes fit properly, then re-caulk everything.
Wish me luck, I plan to work on this project over the weekend.
