I am stressing over a decision for our bathroom

I am stressing over a decision for our bathroom

we are renovating the last bathroom in our house. Its a full bathroom that is off of the entertaining areas of the house. It is also the bathroom closest to two bedrooms on that floor, which from a resale perspective would probably be kids' rooms.
It has a brand new white bathtub, and toilet
this is the tile, marble on bath walls with basket weave border, the dark tile is for the floor

This is the faucet in polished nickle

So here's my challenge, I cannot find a vanity I love! It needs to be 30" and it needs to have some storage. We have dark wood vanities with marble tile in both of the other bathrooms. I think I want something different.

I have been looking at this

I would not use the included top (which is a waste) I would have a carrera top made. Also the reviews are not excellent.

I need to decide soon so DH can finish the plumbing behind the vanity.
Any suggestions?

What do you like about the vanity other then the size? Is it the design on the front? Because if so, you can get any vanity that doesn't have a top since you said you are changing and then maybe do this... Danika & Cheryle

Are you against black vanities?

I think a black one would look really sharp.

Like this one:

Home Depot

They have it in white as well. I like the shape of it...

I originally wanted black too, DH wasn't thrilled but I can override him LOL. I like the last black one but I feel like it's kinda pricey for what it is. I've been on the home depot and lowes sites nonstop and nothing is blowing me away.
I do love the mirrored doors on the one I posted but I don't know if it's too taste specific, we will probably sell within 3 years.
We had vanities custom built for our master last year because I couldn't find anything but I don't want to spend anywhere near that amount for this bathroom.

I don't know. I still love the last one with the legs and think it looks $$$. I'd change the knobs for crystal knobs though.

For your piece plus shipping, it's only about $20 more.

I read the reviews on the one you like and it sounds as if it looks cheap in person.

After seeing your master bath, I just can't imagine your home having something cheap-looking in it. Chat Icon
