"Interesting" choice of stacking toilet paper rolls next to bowl instead of inside vanity. Big fan of pre-splattered bathroom tissue? Or is this a female use only room?

1. perhaps you have filth issues in your house
2. none of your business who lives there

Do you currently use the vanity for storage? In other words, would you miss it if it were gone?

I never throw away storage if I can help it. Our powder room vanity holds cleaning supplies, rags, some nailpolish (who knows why), and toilet paper. With a pedestal, all that stuff has to go somewhere else...

You can put a few shelves above the toilet to hold some things. Is your powder room near the mudroom? Near a linen closet? Near the Laundry room? These are all places where you can hold cleaning supplies and other stuff if you put in a pedestal sink.

I completely agree with wdccruise. I was going to get a pedestal sink for my powder room until my GC pointed out the plumbing situation. The supply lines hook up to these two prongs coming up from the floor, not from the wall like other plumbing I've seen. I ended up getting a vanity sink since I'd rather not spend extra cash redoing the plumbing, and definitely didn't want it to be exposed and ugly.

You could get a fancy cabinet if you want and the bowl separately, but I just got a sink and vanity combo from Lowe's. I needed one of those Euro style ones where the depth of the cabinet is much less than the depth of the bowl, with the bowl less deep on the sides, since I have only 15" between the wall and the trim of the door.

I have the Kohler Memoirs sink in my powder room. There's a cutout in the back for the plumbing, so most of the plumbing is there and I don't see it. However, my sink is across from my toilet so I don't see it at all except when cleaning.

Then again, there's beautiful vanities on the market also. Very subjective decision.

There are all kinds of really cool vanities out there but if that is the only spot for one it will need to be pretty specific in size. I too would not want the TP beside the toilet FYI filth or no filth. Powder rooms are fun to do you can go a bit crazy with something you would never do in a more used room but we need some more info. Is this a guest bathroom mainly, as s\asked is this near a mud room? Depending on where the plumbing is you could do a wall hung vanity that can still hold TP .etc. I personally do not like regular hand towels in PR I use disposibles in there since no one wants to dry their hands on a towel 10 people used already. If you like it wallpaper is fabulous in a PR. I would need a bit of info about your style for sure so maybe a picture or 2 of the areas around the PR.

I miss my vanity in my half bath now that I have a pedestal sink. I would also suggest putting an open floating shelf above the toilet for extra TP next to a nice plant real or faux with a nice picture above it. There are so many beautiful vanities on the market with more options for drawers and shelving that also update the look.

what do you want to accomplish with a remodel? You've already got a quite respectable powder room, so what is prompting you to spend money (and how much?) to make it --- like what? Would paint and wallpaper, plus a window treatment and new flooring get you there?

As a guest using a powder room, I appreciate some counter space around a sink in case i need to set something down. Pedestal sinks often have just a curved rim which makes it hard to perch anything on it.

Oh I think the basics look good that you have chosen....classic and functional. I would do a fantastic wall paper in the whole room......PS I keep my toilet paper in a basket in one bathroom and a tin bin in another; never thought about it getting dirty as you are always pulling off enough to get to the clean stuff; so far after 40 years no one has gotten any bugs? Opinions....this should be good.

consider a corner vanity, with or with out a corner wall cabinet. you would have room to hang a nice mirror on the wall between the vanity and toilet. it gives you a bit of storage and takes up less space. Pedestal sinks are okay and there are quite a few styles to choose from, but my mom has one and it takes up just about the same amount of room if the size of the sink extends out past the pedestal, unless you get a tiny prdesatal which will come with a tinry sink. Possibly consider a wall mount, Various sizes that arent real deep and the lower half and can have a shelf or drawer. Check out this sight for some exampels. Kee[ in mind more than 1 of the same product is carried by more than one store and with different prices.

With a small space, a pedestal sink allows for a great focal point, and you can pair it with a decorative mirror - something round, oval or radius cornered like the attached -
