Vanity Fair

It is done. The vanity has been purchased and ordered. We started out thinking that we needed a 6 foot vanity (double bowl) and that we'd get 2 medicine cabinets with mirrors. It was hard to find a large selection at 6 feet, but we had it whittled down to a few choices, both over our budget. Then we realized that with the way the wall over the stairs butts out into the room (see below) it would actually work better to have a 5 foot vanity, and make this wall into a little shelf - and Chris (our builder) offered to make a custom medicine cabinet above it.

Thus, we were able to shave off a bunch of money by not only downsizing to a 5 foot vanity, but also by opting for mirrors instead of medicine cabinets over the vanity, and having a custom built medicine cabinet (stained to match) and extra shelf on the R side. Here is a picture of the type of bath vanity we got - the vanity top will be different and the lay out isn't exactly like what we'll have, but the color of the wood and style is what we've got (but I doubt we'll keep green apples in the bathroom.)
