We're also going to be re-doing - with a 54" vanity / 1 sink - in an alcove set-up. My sink will be rectangular 21"w - and I'm considering a 24" mirror centered with glass shelves on both sides filling the rest of the space. On the left side wall above the vanity, I'm considering a recessed medicine cab - 20-24"w and 30"h. That's the one I'll use to do my make-up. Now just trying to figure out lighting... :-) My look won't be traditional - Finally decided on bordeaux granite and now have to decide what tiles for floor and shower walls

In my house, when someone cuts themself, we rummage around in the junk drawer, through the piles of decaying rubber bands, leaking batteries, Medusa's nest of cables to iThis and iThat, decorative bottle openers tarnished with the blood of prior guests (they never visit twice), Lego bits, moldy cookies, and small stones. Eventually we unearth a darkly grubby, crumpled-up spongy thing with a faded purple dinosaur on it. Pick the crumbling backing from the gooey adhesive. Advance on the terrified guest who is cowering in the corner, clutching her dripping pinkie. Apply the formerly-known-as-bandaid, like a medieval leech, and mutter "I said it was sharp". We don't get many complaints, but these process servers have been hanging about lately.

What a great idea! I just love the table in the first pic, too.

I would vote on the bigger size. Everyone needs storage and more storage. "When I buy cold medicine or asprin on sale, I store the extra bottles in the medicine cabinet." That is not really a good idea and is not recommended to store medicines in the bathroom. The heat and steam and light will degrade the products, especially aspirin. Do you have a hallway linen closet or something similar to store the product? Either way, I would not store duplicates of anything in the bathroom - just what is in use.
