Oak Vanity in Bathroom Sink - Help - PICS

HI I have a very small full bathroom.

The room is only 6'2" x 5'11"

I have an Oak Vanity with sink in it and would like to change the wood on the bottom of the vanity.

Does anyone have any ideas for this?

Am I in the best forum for help on this?

More storage would be very useful in this small space.

This is to show wood style in the bathroom

    Can you be more specific about what you want to accomplish here? '...change the wood on the bottom of the vanity' is a little vague.

    I'm not sure how to fix it exactly
    but I don't like the way the dresser rests on the wood
    trim.
    Possibly adding a draw at the bottom
    but also keeping the nice old style of the dresser.

    I think normally there should only be about 4" underneath a vanity or it would touch the ground and have a toe kick?

    I took more photos to show the angle better.

    If it was mine, this is what I would do:
    - Remove the front piece with the curves in it. Maybe even the feet stile fronts next to it.
    - Remove the base board on the wall starting where it goes under the existing unit.
    - Extend the face frame down and include a 3-4" toe-kick.
    - Fill in the intermediate area with one or two side-to-side drawers. This will not only look best but give you a bit more storage.
    - Stain to match, or if you are not able to match stains, strip and refinish the entire front.

    You're going to have to play it by ear; it may be easiest to remove the unit to make the changes, or not.

    It appears a real Rube Goldberg at the moment and that would make it appear more usual.
