It seems that 49" is a standard size for vanity tops. Have you already confirmed that you can't use a standard size -- if not that one then the next size down, 36"? You can get ready made stone ones in this size, with built-in sinks if you like, on ebay and in other places. Also, here's an auction where they want to get rid of a top and will cut it down for you. Where there's a will there's a way! If you really want stone you can get it for less. Kashmi mentioned checking on fabricators in your area. I found one fairly close to me who makes lots of vanities and can do it for far less using popular stones that they stock -- you don't pick your slab. If you can use standard cuts for length and number of holes you get an even better price. I had formica in my last house, and amazingly enough I never ruined it with cleaning products or nail polish. I was always afraid that I would hurt it, though. Here is a link that might be useful: ebay -- will cut down to your size

There are vanities very similar to the Pottery Barn Newport available on Amazon with great customer reviews. Take a look at a collection of vanities with Pottery Barn style, including "The Beverly" which looks like an exact replica of the PB Newport here: http://www.squidoo.com/pottery-barn-style-bathroom-vanity Here is a link that might be useful: Pottery Barn Style Vanities

I just received my doors from Evans Cabinets and Doors in TX. They are wood frame with a raised MDF panel(their cheapest raised panel option). They were not primed. They look great and the turn-around time was 7 days plus shipping/transit time. Out of 35 doors and drawer front, there was only 1 small error(the hinges were drilled on the wrong side of the door-this one could not be flipped over). I will be contacting them tomorrow. Hopefully, they can send a replacement. They also have shaker style and slab doors too. Here is a link that might be useful: Evans cabinet and doors

itltrot, I love your drawer for hair appliances. Do you have the hairdryer plugged in somewhere in the vanity, or do you use the outlet I see above the counter? How deep is your counter? Ours will be pretty narrow, about 18 inches; I don't know if that should affect my decision or not. Finally, I see the full run of the countertop is the same height. May I ask how high the counter is? I feel like 30 inches is a typical table/desk height, but most vanities are about 35 inches high. Did you make that counter 30 inches or so high? I'd prefer to have one long counter and not break it up into 2 levels, so the vanity will be low enough to sit at comfortably.
