Thoughts on a counter top for my master bathroom vanity.....
Comments (1)You can see what I used with my calacatta gold honed tile and dark wood, furniture-style vanity: leathered antique brown, which is really more of a grayish brown color. I didn't want to use marble on the counter for maintenance reasons and because I couldn't find one that matched or coordinated well with the floor (even other calacatta's didn't look right). I also considered a gray limestone from Greece, but, again, the maintenance problems....See Moregranite bathroom counter top
Comments (1)It should look great - go for it!...See MoreAre you getting granite bathroom counter tops?
Comments (7)In areas open to each other, the granite is all the same - kitchen, family room, butler's pantry and dining room are all the same. All other rooms have different granite based on the color scheme in that room. Only a couple of the rooms have white cabinetry, but I will share several room pics to give you an idea of what we did. I took these pics last week immediately after installation so the countertops are pretty dusty. Kitchen - Golden Sun: Powder Room - Delicatus: Master Bath - Verde Butterfly: Guest House: DD1 Bath - Blue Pearl: DD2 Bath - Black Galaxy: 1/2 Bath: We will also have a different granite for the outdoor kitchen, but that has not been installed yet.

Comments (3)Personally I don't like to mix metals that much if there is big contrast-- using a copper sink in a small room where you have a nickle shower enclosure would seem to highlight the differences in color of metals no matter what tile you are using... If you want a metal sink would you consider a hammered stainless or pewter metal sink?...See More

10 years agoMabies, can you show a picture of your remnant? I have done a bathroom in remnants that was quite fun. I will provide a link to the reveal. The pieces were for the most part no wider than 12" wide and very long. I seamed multiple pieces together to finish my 2 counters and my sink/backsplash. I have the surface sanded to a grit that is probably 80 or at the most 120. This stone is very soft and VERY variable in veining. I love this stone. I do not oil it, the color is so soft and lovely. A year later and I still love it!

10 years agoMongoct, here is a picture of my sink interior. It is wet along the bottom edges. It has not changed much but a little darker I think. Overall it looks the same as the exterior of the sink and surrounding counters.
Sundownr, very elegant bathroom. I really like that tiny detail of black margin between your tiles. I is just perfect. The circles look lovely sitting on top of the black line.
Leela4 thanks for the compliments. I am very happy that my sink and bathroom are a pleasure for you to see.
This was my inspiration photo. When I began the project I tried drawing the sink with a straight backsplash, but I just loved this picture I found and thought I could try the scallops at the ends. In my drawings the straight splash was so heavy, visually. The cut outs just lightened it up so much. I thought it made is more "sweet".
