I was contemplating using a bar faucet in the bathroom, but one issue is that bar faucets don't have the lever (or whatever it's called) to close the sink drain. I'm considering a taller Delta Victorian faucet that's intended for use with vessel sinks. Try looking for style 754 or 755 on the Delta website (see link below). What I really would like is a pull-down faucet for the bathroom, so my disabled husband could wash his hair in the sink. So far I haven't found anything that I think would work, again due to the absence of the drain-closing mechanism. Here is a link that might be useful: Delta Single-Handle Faucet with Riser

We updated the powder room and guest bath sinks first. We installed undermounted rectangular sinks. I HATE cleaning them! There's no natural movement in cleaning. Hard on wrists. Also, one note on faucets. We found we have to stoop/bend low to get hands under sink flow, below the counter top or water slashes everywhere. It's changed my mind about high profile faucets. Maybe I'm fussy about it, but it's worth knowing.

Thanks Jules8 for your feedback. I'm not too picky about spotting. This will be a bathroom used daily. I am glad to hear that there isn't splashing. I will be using a single hole Hansgrohe faucet. Thanks for the info about the slope, and as you've indicated it seems too shallow. I have a limited space for the sink in my vanity and this one provides a lot of interior space within the confines of my cabinet. If I decide to get another sink I will have to call the cabinet maker to double check the tolerance I have. The look of this sink is really nice though and I probably will stay with it.

If you use a pocket door will you gain space for something bigger? Maybe a round vessel in a corner. This one also from Wayfair can have the vanity counter undercut back towards its center. http://www.wayfair.com/Kraus-Bathroom-Combos-Single-Hole-Waterfall-Typhon-Faucet-and-Bathroom-Sink-KUS2030.html
