There are lots of options with that size vanity. I think 1500 would be on the high end, what's your budget & storage needs? You can definately put two sink bases that each have couple of drawers in them together, no one would know but you and it's a nice look. They aren't the best quality, but you can get two of them at the big box stores for less than 500.00 and if you're so inclined, go to a granite store, find an inexpensive remnant and have a nice counter made out of it, which would probably run another 300-500 depending on what you get. Personally, I wouldn't buy a vanity from an online store because I did a LOT of research and found them to be high. We needed 90 inches of vanity, and ended up ordering bathroom cabinets through the Home Depot kitchen department. Even the 2 base cabinets through American Woodmark were less than 500.00 (during a 20% off sale).

- thanks for the reply pricklypearcactus. sadly with the area im in the local plumbing and bathroom shops all suck. ive visited more than a few with an attempt to get names of manufaturers and some literature on products but none was available. (on the flipside when i visited a few local lighting stores i was given all the information i could carry). - even still, id have figured even if someone didnt have the answer to my specific question they'd atleast have insight on the Lacava (or Paini) Brands. - i was leaning towards thinking ive probably done all the research and thats pretty much why no one is responding.......it's just be nice to get a reply or two to know for sure.

I wouldn't assume stainless steel sink. You don't like the cast iron cause of chipping and staining, but how do you feel about water marks, scratching and dull haze which are par-for-the-course for stainless. Have you considered Blanco Silgranit? IMHO, Silgranit is the greatest thing (as far as sinks are concerned) since sliced bread. No chipping, scratching or staining, can stand temps up to 536 degrees, They come in undermount or drop-in styles, and some of the sinks Blanco categorizes as undermount can also be installed as a drop-in (you have to check the website specs). What size sink are you looking for? If you want the "cool contemporary" look, get a single-bowl rectangular Silgranit sink in the anthracite (black) color. Not only does it not show any stains or grime, but the black is way-cool. Silgranit is also offered in White and Biscuit and several other colors if you don't want black. We chose the Silgranit Super Single in anthracite, and sometimes I have to remind myself to clean it, cause it always looks great. The sink will also fit just about anything.

Ahhh, the question to end all questions. I am househunting as well, and have asked myself the same question many times, so I don't know that I have the best answer for you. Plus you factor in the differences in opinion between the family members and that makes it even more complicated. It is different for every person out there that is house hunting based on their needs. Here is one thing that helped me a bit when my mom pointed it out based on something that I said about one particular house....think of how you live and your day to day activities. Now think of doing all that in that house. How does it work? Are you struggling to find a place to put your coat and shoes without a coat closet? Is that important to you? Are your kids bikes in the way of backing out your car when want to navigate that tight driveway? When you wake up in the morning, do you want to have a quiet place away to drink your coffee and check your email like that loft? Or will that just be wasted space that you feel that you have to furnish and wont ever use? If you want to have children, what happens with the 3 bedroom thing? What if your teen kids don't want to share? Just sit back and imagine yourself living there. Reality is, some things will drive some people crazy, when it is embraced by somebody else. The house hunt is obviously filled with give and take, but what matters the most is what works for you.
