enduring--One of these days I will figure out how to get the photo insert function to work for me. Thanks for doing this! may flowers--Yes, we intend to put the sink towards the middle of the room rather than backed in to the corner because we want to maximize the utilization. Thanks to both of you for the help. My problem is that I don't want a sink that flat out shouts super vintage. I want something rather simple and subtle that will just contribute to the look. Having looked at a lot of photos, I think I have now decided that a rectangular sink is just too contemporary for what I want.

Since my original post, I did buy the home, closed on the 29th, but that almost didn't happen - one of the main reasons was, tada, this bathroom! During the walkthrough the day before closing I came to find out that they had to replace the shower pan, which meant, they replaced the tiles in the shower, and with them being tiles from the 60s, not only did they not match, but as a repair, it was an AWFUL job! I was pissed and upset to say the least. I couldn't understand why the owners didn't offer me the option of a credit to do the bathroom over as I saw fit, instead of doing this on their own, it just made no sense. We finally got them to give us a credit and I'll be ripping out the entire bathroom. What they paid to have done in there was just a waste of money and almost cost them the sale of the house - and cost them more at the end with the credit given. I'm still not sure what I'm going to do with this bathroom. I've taken off that gawd awful accordian door (Freecycle!) I'm looking at tiles, trying to find a 18" vanity base to free up some more floor space, probably put in bypass shower doors as I can't stand getting wet when I turn on the shower as it is now, and there's no light in the shower, so this will bring in natural light. I'm still not sure how to deal with the door. I haven't found a good door to put there. THe original door swong in, door handle on right when it was there. I'm still toying with the idea of a pocket door. I'm going to get an estimate on switching the toilet and vanity, still not sure how much of a difference it would make. Too many things and possible options. Want an elongated toilet - does anyone know who makes some really short toilets when it comes to floor space? Good source for 18" vanities? Vanity there now is 41" thinking about a 36" wide instead, will give a bit more room. So, that's my mini update on this bathroom. I've been almost 3 weeks doing non-stop cleaning. As clean as they people were/appeared, you have NO idea what I've found deep cleaning! This morning, I'm off to paint the closets in the master bathroom - they painted the bedroom, but didn't take the extra step to paint the interior of the 2 closets, so I have a tan bedroom and light green/blue closets!!!

Thanks I have been tied up with pottery firings and kiln repairs and now backsplash. The counter top people did the sink install, I now have a different mechanism for the match up under the sink, we shall see how that works; will post more photos soon.

I want to replace my old sink. I search online it is very difficult to find the same size of sink 37 in (W) and 19 in (D). Most of sinks have 22 in (D). Find few have the same size but the basin is not 17 in x 12 in approx. All have small size basin or people complain to bought small sink. Please advise.
