californiagirl, thank you for the suggestion. I love the Cheviot sink - it is very similar to the Porcher. And the price is great. But the frame is not available in polished nickel. I'm also worried about the towel bars sticking out on the sides; if they are not removable, then the whole thing would be too wide. I absolutely love the Dea Bath console! It is perfect, polished nickel and all. But for over $600 for the frame alone, I'd be better off going back to my original (too expensive but less expensive) option. But this does give me towel hanging space. Will have to think about this.

How long will the sight line be looking at the sink? If it is a long view, then yes I would probably have a problem with the p trap and lines not being centered. If you really can't see the sink until you are at it (as is the case with small baths) I wouldn't mind at all. Is it a guest bath as is when you have guests sleeping over? Or a guest bath for anyone you have any guests in the house? I think that too would determine if the pipes not being centered would bug me. If it is used rarely, not so much worry, used weekly, more concerned. How off centered??? Semi:

I have the Delta Cassidy in my guest bath and really like it. There's two styles, one tall and graceful, and this one, which is kind of chunky and masculine. I think you want that type of styling with the heavy porcelain sink. It's not excessively curvy but it's still a handsome faucet. I think we'll be putting one in DH's bathroom. It comes in several finishes but I'm assuming you want chrome for ease of cleaning and for the exposed plumbing of your console. It also comes with straight handles. Plumbers like working on Delta because they have great customer service and parts are readily available.

Don’t get what you mean about asymmetrical plumbing as an issue. Are you removing vanity & replacing with a counter only & sink with all the gold pipes & fixtures? If yes, the asymmetrical connections underneath wouldn’t seem to be a problem because as you said, the room is very small. You wouldn’t see under the sink from a long distance away.
