It would be a crying shame to spend $627 on a vanity, not to mention another $1k or so by the time you acquire a vanity top, sink & faucet assembly then have it all cobbled in by a makeshift handyman solution such as recommended above. First off all, even though the afore mentioned solution would meet code the introduction of the two 1/4bends on the sink tailpiece would severely hamper the velocity of flow and thereby increase the risk of clogs in the drain line. Second, while the use of flex lines, or even the metal braid covered flex lines may be quick and easy to install in an exposed location they stick out like a sore thumb and shout "cheap & amateur", not to mention that despite their advertised claims, they are in fact the least reliable type of supply lines. In fact, in most areas where I have worked they are prohibited anywhere except in single family dwellings. Go to any reputable Plumbing Supply house and they can get you the tailpiece and P-trap fittings in polished Chrome, brushed chrome, Gold, polished copper, brushed copper, polished brass, brushed brass, polished bronze, brushed bronze, oil rubbed bronze, white enamel, black enamel and sometimes in red and blue enamel, not to mention some other specialty finishes. For the supply tubes you can get 3/8" brass tubing that is plated with the same finishes as the drain piping. Installing the brass tubing takes a bit of skill to install, but nothing that is beyond the ability of an intermediate DIY'er. To Install you would need a tubing cutter to cut the tubing to the correct length and perhaps a tubing bender to make any necessary bends in the tubing. The tubing is then connected to the faucet by means of a compression washer, friction washer and a cone washer ( all of which normally come supplied in the faucet assembly.) The line is then connected to the angle stop by means of a compression nut and tubing ferrule, which is also supplied with the new angle stop valve. I have on occasion found the specialty finishes on the shelf at Lowes, Home Depot or a local hardware store, and if they don't have what you want in stock, they can order it.

Thank you, homepro01. I really don't like the look of those pedestals. Our house is circa 1938 and while we didn't go for totally period, we wanted it to be somewhat period-appropriate. A lot of these Deco-era houses had a wall-hung sink, and some also had the console legs. It's also the only bathroom for our family of four, and it's on the narrow side, so the floor space is nice. Obviously the console legs will interrupt that but not as much as those extra bulky Duravit pedestals, which also give the sink a more contemporary look.

Rubber oil bronze is a bit more traditional (with hints of real metal coming through) while flat black is more contemporary. Either could look striking given the description of dark oak and black countrrtops it really becomes a preference. The key decision in my mind would be, what are the switches and light fixtures (in that particular room specifically) ? if your house has an open floorplan its also OK to do "zone" design meaning whats in the kitchen can have a contrasted finish from the livingroom. a side note if going with lots of dark both in fixtures and cabinets (and/or appliances and sink) be sure to bring in light for contrast, either with lots of daylight (windows), flooring, upholstery or in the adjacent space so the eye can flow or pop. Having multiple shades and texture of the same family can be beautiful but too mucb of a good thing can make it overwhelming. best of luck.

Thank you Heather! You have been really helpful. I am going with an electric oven and the side warming cabinet. I bake a lot, especially breads. When I make my breakfasts, I usually need something (oven) to keep bacon, potato's etc warm. I'm also finding, that because my husband is now working from home (I recently retired :) ) that keeping food warm for him is nice too. He's usually has conference calls that can keep him from a hot meal I've cooked. I'm keeping my Decor wall oven so will have access to two electric ovens. But having a small space to keep things warm should work pretty well. So, I'm excited to get this stove ordered. We will have to do a small remodel in our kitchen, new farmhouse sink and repositioning some existing cabinets. Yes, we are going to probably have to do something creative with the hood as well since the stove is a off measurement of 43".
