Opinions needed! Pedestal sink vs. this vanity
Comments (5)hi beckyg75 - I love the look of pedestal sinks, and if it's in good condition, I guess I would think about other options for storage. Think about what you would need to store in this bathroom - kids don't have a lot of "products," so I am guessing the main things you will need are towels, toilet paper and maybe cleaning supplies (although, you will want these out of reach of the kids). Could you fit a small, furniture style, linen closet in there somehow? Some of them are only 10-12-14 inches deep... Check out JC Penney website - they have a lot of inexpensive storage options. I think Costco has a linen closet on their webiste now too. Also - what about using a wine rack to store rolled up towels like: http://www.oldworldhomedecor.com/storefrontprofiles/DeluxeSFItemDetail.aspx?sid=1&sfid=139980&c=191173&i=244268892 Amazon has a cheaper wine rack: http://www.amazon.com/Tuscan-Wrought-Scroll-Towel-Holder/dp/B002TMUI18 or http://www.amazon.com/Tuscan-Wrought-Scroll-Towel-Holder/dp/B002TMUI18 Maybe you could also put up a high shelf with baskets for add'l sotrage if needed. Just some ideas......See MorePedestal sink vs. vanity cab - ladies, where do you store...
Comments (10)OMG, I can't believe they make a special recessed cabinet for plungers! Anyway, something like that would actually work really well. I'm not sure how much recessed storage I'll be able to have, though, because I have no idea what's in my walls. As you can see, the current medicine cabinet over the sink and that hamper are recessed, but that's partially because the lower half of the walls are built out with cement, and that's being torn out in the remodel. Perhaps that Hy-dit would fit in the old hamper space... Gscience, I agree with you that non-recessed cabs can make the place look smaller. I'd like to recess a cab in the spot where the blond wood cab is not - if I can't, I may just put a mirror there. I'm also planning a much larger medicine cabinet over the sink - don't know if I'll be able to recess it, so I guess I'll wait to buy anything until my contractor starts tearing things up... Anyway, thanks for the ideas, ladies - keep 'em coming!!!!!...See MorePedestal Sinks=No Storage/Where To Find a nice White Cabinet?
Comments (5)Here you go: It's a teeny room, so I cannot get a photo of the whole thing at once! We splurged on Cararra marble for the top. It was fabricated by the same company who did our kitchen counters, Maine Soapstone. If you need different views, I can try and take some more photos.

Comments (9)Thank you all for your help and the links. It sounds like it is not required that I have a white framed mirror just because I have a white pedestal sink? I really do not need a medicine cabinet as it is a powder room. It probably makes more sense to get something that works well with the pedestal and the light fixture. I found a custom shaker mirror website that may offer the best choice-one can even choose from over 50 colors, regular or distressed. If anyone else has any suggestions regarding the mirror frame, they would be most appreciated. Teresa...See Morebpath
