I need opinions - quickly! :-)

People, I need help!

In an effort to recreate our 'spa' experience at home, I've been trolling the internet for bathroom fixtures & such to makeover our master bathroom. I never intended to actually start buying anything but you know how these things work, you start looking, and then you find something you love - and then there are only 4 of them left on the planet :-)

Here's my problem: our master bathroom has an angled wall in it, with 2 36" base cabinets and a couple of fake doors to fill in the spaces. I hate it. It's builder's basic cheap crap. And I really don't want to 'upgrade' this look, as it's not really the 'feel' I'm going for. Here are two pictures, I'm so desperate I'm showing you this. I apologize for the poor pictures, shadows and all:



My question is: what do you think about ripping out the sink on the left across from the shower & replacing it with either a lingerie-type chest or a 'ladies-type' vanity & seat, and using the following sink on the right:
It's a Drexel Heritage piece in a dark walnut that I found on Overstock and have been watching for a week now. Of course I didn't buy it 2 days ago when they had 10% off site wide, and now there are only 4 left. I have been all over the internet looking at these things, and the price is right, I just wasn't sure I wanted to commit at this point. On the plus side, Drexel Heritage makes lots of furniture in this finish so I should be able to get a coordinate pretty easily.

The overall look will be marble tile floor, subway tile around the tub & shower, we want to rip out the shower stall and tile the whole thing & put in a pivot door - clean, fresh and new. I'm just hung up on the whole vanity thing. I love this piece, but is it a good idea? Thumbs up? Thumbs down? Remember, there are only 4 left. Thanks in advance!

  3. AHHHHHHH!!!!! The pressure!!!
    I love it!! My only concern would be going from two sinks to one...

    What color is your paint? I heart it! We are getting ready to paint our 1/2 bath and I am LOVING that color!

  4. I love the piece!! I agree with Staci, though. Master bath only having one sink...hmmm? Would you put 2 of those in...and make them their own seperate spaces?

    Can't wait to find out what you do!! Oh, the pressure!! Love you're bathroom color, same as my kitchen!

  5. Awesome piece. And I like the idea of a separate ladies vanity. I wouldn't give mine up, I love it for prepping and primping.

  6. I love it. Would it work to buy two of them so you still have 2 sinks? I think you might want 2 sinks for resale. I love the whole look you are going for - subway time, spa look. So nice!

  7. I was going to say that you don't need two sinks in your master bath...we have one and it's all we need but Jen brings up a good point of resale. I don't know how important that is to a buyer but it would matter to me.

    I love that piece and if you love it I would get it and make it work.

  8. I love it! But then I have two vanity style sinks in my house so I'm obviously partial!

    Can't wait to see what you do!
