Comments (7)We have very similar dimensions for our vanity in our main bath. I think I am going to go with an 18" wide tower, which should leave room for at least a 54" long vanity, which is a good size with a single sink. I would determine what you plan to store in the tower and mock up and measure if they will fit. Are you planning to have drawers or roll-outs? That will take up more space too. I have an 18" pantry in my kitchen next to a 44" beverage counter, it doesn't look too large. I think you will be much happier with the extra 3" in your tower than on the counter....See More12 inch uppers OK with 27 inch counters?
Comments (5)Do the mock up and chack for your reach. I think smaller things like glasses and spices could be more of a problem that dishes. If you want to reach a plate, you only have to be able to reach the front part of it. If you want to reach a glass, you could have to reach up and back to the rear 3 inches or so of the shelf and it could be a bit less for spices....See MoreShow me your wall colors with gray counter tops!
Comments (9)marciemarce We chose BM Stonington Gray. It was a compromise. I really wanted a color (green, pink), but I also wanted consensus from dh and dd. We chickened out of a deeper grey like Nightingale, as we are so fixated on making the house feel lighter and brighter. The color is fine, but totally uninspired. But it's done, so we can move on to the next project. Here's Stonington Gray next to the cherry counter tops... next to the quartz and in the eat-in area...See MoreWall color/counter top suggestions
Comments (10)Hmmmm....while BM says this about Regal Semi Gloss: “finish is great for trim, doors, cabinets or walls,” I would be very wary about its durability as a cabinet paint. Best of luck on that. It is not their top line of wall paint nor is it their top line cabinet paint. Since that is what you have on the cabs, I think waiting to replace the counters is warranted to see how the paint holds up. Too bad they did not use BM Advance....See MoreUser
