Any suggestions for a vanity for Georgian style guest bathroom?
Comments (2)Either that, or a table with vintage marble sink (vessel). If there is a linen closet, then you won't necessarily need the cabinet for storage. Or something like the 1st or 4th picture: Here is a link that might be useful: examples...See MoreMaximizing bathroom storage/vanity style - thoughts? Pics
Comments (10)Talley sue - of course you have a heat pipe, you're in NYC! LOL! Mine was rusted, peeling and thoroughly disgusting when I first moved in, so when I decided to paint the bathroom, I scraped all that nasty paint (and God knows what else) off with steel wool and then spray painted the pipe with heatproof paint. It has held up reasonably well, as you can see - this was 5 years ago. However, I hate the way it looks and I hate the fact that I occasionally bump against it when getting out of the shower (I've burned my unmentionables more than once, ouch!), so it needs to be covered. It's the only source of heat for the bathroom but our building is so overheated that I doubt it will bother me to have it covered/insulated. However, I don't know what my contractor has in mind - possibly just a sheet metal sleeve - that's one of the things we need to discuss. I love the idea of building a cabinet around it, but I'm not sure what I could store that close to a heat source. As for the vanity, I am considering white - I just wasn't sure how white would look against all that white tile. I haven't decided what color to paint the walls yet because I haven't decided on the mosaic accent, but it will likely have just about any blue or green imaginable in it so painting the vanity to match/coordinate should be a snap. There's just something I love about dark wood, though, and I wouldn't hesitate to use it if I didn't think it looked funny with the floor. I haven't ordered the floor tile, so I'm not married to the wood-look porcelain, but I also haven't seen any other floor tiles that really grab me. If you have any better suggestions for floor tiles that would coordinate with white subways, let me know!...See MoreNeed Opinions, Bathroom Vanity Function vs Style? (pics)
Comments (15)If you will be using the area every day and the vanity is the main storage cabinet, by all means go with the Kraftmaid. Bending all the way down to get into those sliding doors would get old, quick. Pull-out shelves inside would make it much better, though. KM has a few darker glazed finishes that are very rich looking. We went with the white foil with beadboard in the kids bath and even though I don't use them on a daily basis, I LOVE them! We upgraded to the soft close and every drawer opens completely -- no more digging around the back for things. We changed the false front drawers under the sinks to tilt-out's with full stainless steel baskets... those fit toothbrushes, floss, toothpaste and much more. If you have great knobs and/or pulls, some people seem to notice those and not the cabinet themselves. I've had people not notice the beadboard because they were so drawn to the knobs....See MoreDoes bathroom vanity need to match bedroom furniture?
Comments (5)I think it's fine :) My master bedroom has a dark brown "wavy" patterned carpet and white washed (creamy color) furniture. The ensuite is reversed...light travertine-look (creamy color) porcelain and dark brown vanity....See Morekkennedy26
