Thanks you guys! Cooperbailey I was tipped off to Lowe's lighting by the Just Beachy blog - I never would have tought it! I was eyeing the one you have in your kitchen for my dining area (small table.) But it won't work with what I'm doing for the kitchen island lighting, which is in very close proximity. Nanna I bought the mirror years ago at a place in Boston called IN Home Furnishings. FANTASTIC store, albeit a tad pricey, usually only bought stuff on sale. It's hanging as an accent in my powder room in my PA house. It is pretty small and I'd be afraid the wrong scale for the sink - it's 11w x 15h at its furthest points, and the mirror itself is only 5x7. There's a shop here in town that has lots of white washed mirrors with great gesso (or sometimes carved) frames, I'll take a peek at what they have. If I find one I like I could silver leaf it. Or not. ;-)

"And what is the huge commitment? If you tire of wallpaper - even if it is the "real" kind, just change it. It is a small space and not a huge financial commitment." Helen, maybe I'm terribly unlucky but I still have leftover glue from the PO's wallpaper border in one of my bathrooms. (If only the vanity had that kind of durability :P). Also, don't know about Victoria's option but the wallpaper murals that tempt me end up running close to 1K for a small room. Must admit when I break down the wallpaper option, it daunts me quickly. Not trying to rain on anyone's parade as I love the look of many wallpapered powder rooms. @Victoria Holloway, forgot another alternative to wallpaper: paint stencil (depending on DIY-ability, etc.). Just sharing in case you want options. I wish you luck in your decision. Keep pattern scale in mind for best effect and if you go ahead with it, please share your "after" pics!

Thanks Juliet. I think we've just been so exhausted since our slated demolition one year ago (the same time we lost our jobs of course! Lol!). It's been amazing too though, don't get me wrong, but it's good to get a calming reminder. I was thinking about a smaller vanity. This one is from Israel though, and it was delayed for many many months. The tiles are actually a steel grey, but they would look really cool as a grey-black! We may have to move the plumbing after inspections and move-in (that gives us time to figure out what options we have within the local code). We just don't want to slow down the momentum, so we can move in and trim down to one mortgage/rent. "Breathe" is the perfect advice, thank you. I hope your renovation is going well!

Thank you for your response and please forgive me for my slow reaction. As further background, about 4 years ago we had to replace our family and dining room floors with slate after our engineered wood buckled in places about 8-15 feet from the house perimeter due to moisture. The floor dealer stated that the moisture was fine prior to installation and a moisture membrane was not put down prior to the wood floor installation. When the floor failed we had one put down and had the slate installed. At that time there were soft areas in the wood in the living room adjoining the dining room and evidence of termites. We had those areas of wood removed and had the areas treated and put down new pieces of engineered wood. We also have the same engineered floor in our master bedroom (actually the whole house except for the baths and slate areas).. In an area away about 15 feet from the house perimeter we recently found evidence of either moisture or termites. We had guys in to check and they found both, with live termites under the floor in the area in question. They treated the areas and again replaced the wood floor with new pieces of wood. At this point we're treating the problem with band aids. Most likely there are cracks throughout the whole foundation. I do have pictures from the areas when the floor was removed.. At that time the workers didn't do anything in particular to fill the cracks outside of the regular surfac leveling and new membrane. We do live in an area of Southern Calif. that has has had movement issues. Our house is from 1978 and was tented about 10 years ago. In the future we'd like to be able to sell the house, but don't see how we can with this being an ongoing problem. Any help you can advise would be gladly received.
