As Wi-Sailorgirl suggested, there are small vanity option that will give you that open feel. As for why the pedestal isn't an option any longer it's because the drain pipe & supply lines need to be located fairly precisely to line up with those sinks. The p-trap has to hide behind the pedestal and the supply lines have to be higher than for a regular vanity (usually) so they can hide as well. You can't just bring the pedestal sink forward to make room for the pipes b/c it needs to attach to the wall behind it (and there should be blocking in the correct location). We used a vanity like the one shown in the link below, but in natural cherry. The combination of legs (so you see the floor under the vanity) and narrow size worked very well for us in a small bathroom. In our case it was an in-stock item at Home Depot Expo (which has since closed) but you may find something similar at a lumberyard near you. They do have a list of dealers on the website, Strasser is still made in the US if that is a deciding factor for you. At the link below, click on the Piazza or Azzura furniture styles to get an idea of what they have. Most of their vanities come in a 18" or 21" deep option, so you can really make them work in a tight space. Good luck! -Pam Here is a link that might be useful: Euro-Lav by Strasser Woodenworks

Let's see, in my entire house, the DR set, MBR set, sofas and one coffee table, all the area rugs were bought new, as were WTs. *Everything* else (Hitchcock table and chairs in breakfast nook, end tables in FR, rush bench in mudroom) were bought in used furniture stores, CL (LR end tables and coffee table plus the table the TV is sitting on now, old carved oak chair, MBR wing chair and ottoman, DS's bunk beds, desk, chair and bookcase, FR bookcase, and 2 spare chairs for DR), GW (artwork in DR and FR, MBR lamps, white wood porch rocker, wicker settee, wing chair in LR, Rubbermaid storage cabinet in basement and lots of dishes, glasses, small appliances, etc.) or at auction (DD's BR set, DS's dresser, side table and blanket chest in MBR, and secretary now in LR). I'm not counting ebay (crystal and all the master bath faucets, sinks, and towel bars), Big Lot type stores (area rugs, MBR valances, LR and Ds's romans, throw pillows, FR lamps, towels, sheets) or clearance sales at JCP, HD and Lowes (bathroom tile, bathroom mirrors, PR faucet, bathroom light fixtures, LR and DR drapes and rods, MBR and DR romans). Haven't found much at garage sales except the Pfaltzgraff set (with serving pieces) I bought 20 years ago (and have added to with help from other garage sales and GW). A lot of the kids' clothes have come from thrift/consignment stores.

This will make it much easier for the transition if all of you that have changed your name do this for a while.

I lost all my saved passwords after a malwarebytes and ccleaner binge yesterday. Now I can't get into gardenweb without my OLD username and password. The sign in page comes up with that combo. Why is it like that? Why isn't my sign in page with my current user name? I was not able to change it and went round and round at the houzz site and had to go to my email trash to get to gardenweb forums. What a pain!
