Bathroom sink help...
Comments (1)You want to have 15" to the center of the drain from the wall for elbow room. That means if the vanity touches the wall the sink could start 5 inches from the end of the vanity. (5+10-1/4) So 5 + 20.5 = 25.5 x 2 sinks = 51, which leaves 21 in between for counter space. That should work....See MoreMaster bathroom help-crosspost from bathroom forum
Comments (19)olychick, thank you for taking a look. :) I'm relieved to hear you think a white shower pan is best. I am heading out now to find porcelain marble look tiles for the shower walls to pick up the gray as you suggested. I want a shiny finish to the walls. Tell me if you think that's a misstep. I am avoiding marble as I have a marble topped vanity now that is pock marked with etchings. As far as seeing myself in the vanity, yes, I think I will be able to do so. I was planning on a black framed mirror spanning the vanity. My current vanity is 32 1/4" high (as will be the new vanity) and when seated on my vanity stool my reflection is seen up to my chest. The only issue currently is that my knees are pressed against drawers. I failed to mention that I was thinking of using absolute black granite for the vanity top for two reasons: one being cost and the other being to avoid etching. Will doing so deviate too much from my inspiration? Lastly, I had the idea of applying pieces of beveled mirror framed by black molding floor to ceiling along the back wall and continuing behind the toilet (similar to this only floor to ceiling with the exception of base molding & crown): [Traditional Bathroom[(https://www.houzz.com/photos/traditional-bathroom-ideas-phbr1-bp~t_712~s_2107) by Northbrook Architects & Building Designers Michael A.

Comments (3)If it was mine, this is what I would do: - Remove the front piece with the curves in it. Maybe even the feet stile fronts next to it. - Remove the base board on the wall starting where it goes under the existing unit. - Extend the face frame down and include a 3-4" toe-kick. - Fill in the intermediate area with one or two side-to-side drawers. This will not only look best but give you a bit more storage. - Stain to match, or if you are not able to match stains, strip and refinish the entire front. You're going to have to play it by ear; it may be easiest to remove the unit to make the changes, or not. It appears a real Rube Goldberg at the moment and that would make it appear more usual....See MoreApron front bathroom sink--vanity? Help---
Comments (20)We finished our remodel except for a mirror over the sink and a recessed medicine cabinet on a corner wall... Thought I would post some photos of how,the vessel sink turned out installed recessed as an apron-front sink. The guy doing the remodel used local cabinet shop to fabricate the center 2-door vanity section to accomodate the install, added a stronger bottom shelf for the sink to rest on and cut the normal front stile to fill in the front opening... We used a remnant of Cambria Oakmoor Quartz with gray shadings vs the usual tan for countertop, a bench top in the tub/shower, and the niche bottoms. Found it at the fabricators our contractor favors and they were very good to work with. Pencil edges on all pieces but the tub bench...that is demi bullnose. Tub alcove and wall under window used the DalTile Modern Dimensions white matte 4x12 subway tile w/Florida Tile Bliss Iceland in niche backs. Moen Rothbury chrome single lever faucet for sink and tub/shower. Toilet is AS Town Square toilet, Princeton tub 30x60, and the AS Loft vessel sink... Vanity hardware Milan 6" in chrome...flooring is LVT click install from ProSource--Resista H2O--waterproof...in kind of driftwood gray, fairly uniform Went with a vibrant coral for the walls --SW Coral Reef--made up in Benjamin Moore eggshell and used in the linen closet walls as well. Trim is Super White. Electricians add added a Panasonic exhaust fan with heater/no light--because of joist spacing. Light fixture is from Wayfarer..I wanted a 4 but husband wanted a 3. There is a can in the tub alcove...both lights on dimmers. added a double outlet on corner left of the sink and an outlet behind the vanity, available inside second drawer on right....See MoreGail McNaughton
