I made this for my daughter for Christmas. She has done nothing but sit at it and play and put on "makeup" for hours! It is a hit! Thanks Ana!!!!
I did add a support with pocket holes in the back to make it more sturdy (you can see it behind the stool). And you will notice my top trim is not 2 inches like it should be. I used all free wood that I had collected . I did buy a 2x2 for the stool because mine was too warped. The top of the stool is not round because I only have a miter saw. I found a great little cupboard door from the restore for $1 that I cut square for the top. Since I am new to this it took me a little longer than some people, plus the time I put is including making the stool as well.
Built from Plan(s)
Estimated Cost
For me less than $10, I got the wood for the vanity free from my Father-in-law's shed.
Estimated Time Investment
Day Project (6-9 Hours)
Finish Used
I primed and painted with green oops paint. The stool was spray painted with Rust-oleum's Gloss berry pink. I felt like it needed something extra girly so I cut some vinyl flowers and butterflies (oh, and the castle for the stool) and added them, then sealed the vinyl with mod podge.

Thank you!
Thanks for all the nice comments! Mandirckard, I hope you get to make it! It is fun when you can re-make something that otherwise would be thrown out, cupboard doors could be reused for lots of things!

Absolutely amazing! I just want to do the same thing for my kids as well. Would you mind telling me more about the cost and measurement? Basically, I have been waiting for some thrilling games. I found a few of them like poker tournament in Winnipeg from where you can get game ideas. Here are some of the poker tournaments you can join in Winnipeg:
