Comments (3)Hi there, I saved the following link from a different thread and think it might help you: http://www.signaturehardware.com/lp25?gclid=CPCu5tqXo5UCFQeCGgodVHi7kg It is especially for small bathroom sinks!...See MoreNeed small sink and toilet recommendations for tiny powder room
Comments (13)We are in the middle of a bathroom + mudroom/pantry/powder room remodel. The powder room is 30" x 7.5', so we have the same narrow width but some extra length. Now that the wall is up, I see how narrow the room is! We re-did a very small (5' x 8') full bath last year, and I needed a toilet that was narrow and did not come out too far. I used the Toto Promenade, round front. The model has changed now to the Toto Eco-Promenade, so the dimensions might have changed, but the width was only 18" and the depth was reasonably short. I have another Promenade that I bought a few years ago for the (old) downstairs powder room, and I will be re-using it in the current remodel....See MoreWhich side of the sink should off-center drain go on?
Comments (13)Thanks, sabjimata, akchicago, cilantro, and pinch me. I think I am going to stick with the right-side installation and center my faucet, even though it means the stream will never reach my drain. Anyone who wants to scream "Nooooooo!" at this point, please feel free... (notwithstanding pinch me's great point about marching to my own drummer, which can never be said enough... thank you, pinch me!) akchicago, your points about pull-out/pull-down sprayers vs. side sprayers are all right on the money. I was actually aware of the disadvantages of side sprayers -- thanks to this site -- and bought one anyway. Why? Because when the end of the faucet's nozzle is a spray head, and its spout is harboring a spray hose, the whole thing becomes quite beefy and contemporary-looking, and my husband didn't think it would look right in our 125-year-old kitchen. So form won over function this round, and I am okay with that... though I'm sure to have the occasional pull-out envy when my thumb gets sore from pushing down on that little button... Still trying to decide if it's okay to cheat the faucet an inch or two left of center (to align with center of window pair), now that I will have the drain on the right. I mean, if the stream's not going to hit the drain anyway, does it matter where it hits? Or is there a reason to keep it as close to the drain as possible, even if it's no cigar? Thoughts?...See MoreTiny powder room - 59"x38" : need small toilets rec
Comments (36)It is the Alape Bucket sink. The problem is that it sticks out 14.25" from the wall. It is a glazed steel sink with a navy or gray PVC gasket at Rejuvination Hardware. I looked at it, too and decided that the only way to use it would be to drill into the steel to place the faucets. putting them above the backsplash would cause too much splashing, just as Enduring concluded, above. Since it is glazed and not porcelain, I think you could drill the holes without harming the sink. It still would not make it fit this powder room. You have to go read the requirements for space in front of a toilet. I believe that you must have 24" of unobstructed space in front of the entire 30" wide toilet zone. I believe that is why everyone is telling Jade BR that this design will not work for her bathroom. Any side-mounted sink invades that space. If she mounts this sink across from the toilet, it is too big and, again, invades this space. But a sink that does not protrude so far from the wall would not violate the 30" wide zone that comes 24" out from the front of the toilet. Cpartist, am I stating the problem correctly? https://www.rejuvenation.com/catalog/products/alape-bucket-sink-gray-trim...See MoreSusie .
