Does Your Master Bathroom Cabinet Have That Hole For A Chair?
Comments (29)Mollie, The sink is a 30" Kohler Memoirs. It's actually the top piece of a 2-piece pedestal, but it works just as well the way I installed this one. Since it's a pedestal top, the bases of these sinks can be slightly warped, so it may not sit perfectly flat on a flat countertop. Some may need a bit of modification to the countertop to compensate for the warp, or just shim it and the shims will disappear when it's set on the countertop and siliconed in place. It doesn't protrude too far into the cabinet below, but still, to maximize storage, I made the drawer under the sink in a "U" shape. The cutout of the "U" houses the sink and the drain tailpiece. It's a nice sink. Large bowl, and I love the wide flat rim around the bowl. Tom, I built the cabinet boxes and set them on a platform framed of, if I remember correctly, 2x6s set on edge. The front of the 2x6 platform was held back about 9 or 10 inches from the front of the cabinets. So the "hole" behind the toe kick is about 9" deep. I painted the face of the 2x6 platform black to hide it. Our bath floor is wood, it gets a once-over periodically with, maybe once a week or so with one of those little swivel-headed sweepers on a handle. If it were full-depth I could see dust bunnies accumulating back there, but no, with it being partial depth the sweeper can get in there and gather whatever has collected. But still, it's not any dustier than the other non-traveled areas of the floor, like the floor at an inside wall corner that gets no foot traffic.

Comments (6)That's a good question. I guess I need to go over to the neighbor's house and look into my bathroom window from their upstairs hall window. (We live in a close-in, first subrurb of NYC, so houses are close together here.) I should also mention that the bathroom has white subway tile and a marble basketweave floor -- I am trying to achieve a 1920s style....See MoreWhat Style Sink Do You Have In Your Bathroom?
Comments (9)Two BIG, tall white pedestals in the master bath. Deep bowls and lots of 'laying room' on the surrounds. I love having separate sinks. I tend to clean mine more often than DH cleans his. Our medicine cabinets are big, deep boxes with mirrored backs, set into the walls so that the mirror front is flush with the wall. Some 'stuff' goes in the linnen closet in the bathroom. If you have pedestals you have to have somewhere else to put things. Guest powder room has white pedestal. Powder room off the back hall has a low, deep pedestal -- DGS can reach it without step stool now that he's FOUR! Guest BR bath has while bowl, top mount in a vanity....See MoreDo you have a valence in your bathroom?
Comments (4)I do. I have them in the master & guest bath. They're 2nd story windows w/ no privacy issues. Both are tailored/unfussy, but add a touch of color/texture & soften the light. I had custom shutters made for the main floor powder/laundry room window for privacy with filtered light....See More

I sometimes take it outside the shower and put it under the window.

Roarah, your bench must come in very handy. There are just so many little beauty rituals that we best accomplish seated! I love your sink, by the way.
Lars, I think having a seat in the shower is a real luxury. Wish I had room in mine for a bench like yours.
Here's mine. I perch here daily to put on or take off shoes. My young nephew recently asked me why I had a chair in this room. "You actually sit in your bathroom??" Yes, child. Yes I do.

4 years agoI have a stool, use it daily. Love it for putting on shoes, putting on makeup, ditto about chatting with my husband, and using it to put clothes, whatever on while I’m getting ready. I would put a chair with a back there, but the towels would be in the way.
