I have a old bathroom vanity that is in good shape but is out dated. I was thinking about removing the doors and installing something with a more modern look. Has anyone done this and is it easy to get doors like that.

Or you could make them. Depends on the style you want and the tools and skill set you have.
Flush doors with an applied molding can be done easily with a few basic tools.

That's exactly what I did with one of our vanities, which looked fresh out of about 1970, give or take a few years. It was perfectly functional, but had 3/4" thick surface mounted doors with leuvers the size of what would be on a full size door, and bold brass hinges, causing it to demand the attention of anyone who walked in there. All I did was remove the doors and hinges, plugged the holes, cut out a set of much thinner flush mount doors, probably 3/8" or so, threw on some paint, installed a set of much smaller white hinges (could have used hidden ones except that I these in the shop if I recall correctly), and some small white door knobs with flowers painted on them. It instantly improved the entire room, and we have since received quite a few compliments on our "beautiful country vanity". Not bad for probably $5 in hardware and some leftovers in the shop.
