Please help me decide~UPDATED with floor tile pic
I am re-doing my bathroom. I have picked a brown (with beige) tumbled stone looking tile for the floor and the matching opposite for the walls. I am going to go with bronze tp holder, shower head, etc. I am set on the tiolet I want but my question is:
Would you go with the matching pedistle sink for the toilet, or a vanity. My bathroom is a standard size.
ETA- they are all around the same $$ Image Attachment(s):

Re: Please help me decide
The vanity gives you a little more space to put stuff (soap, lotion, etc...)
Plus, I think they are great for storing stuff underneath

Re: Please help me decide
We did our bathroom with a pedastal sink and I totally regret it. I love the way it looks but I miss having a vanity.

Re: Please help me decide
the cream one is so blahh and just average, the wood gives it color and warmth, and the matching one is just to matchy matchy.
my vote is for the wooden one. the furniture look for the bath is very high end.

I cant find pics of the tile on-line, I will go to home depot today and snap a quick pic of the tiles. I have no clue what to do with the walls yet

i think it depends on what wall color you chose and the color of the tile. an all white/cream palette is very clean and fresh but i also like the drama of dark, warm colors.
my powder room has cream/ivory fixtures (toilet and vanity) w/ cream beadboard and molding. drama was added with chocolate paint. Image Attachment(s):

I agree. We had a pedestal sink and it couldn't even hold our tooth brushes, toothpaste and hand soap on it.

Re: Please help me decide
The first thing I did when I moved into my new home was tear out the pedastal sink and replace it with a vanity. You will want the space!

Re: Please help me decide~UPDATED with floor tile pic
i think it depends on what you plan to do with the walls. if tiling the walls or painting a tan (warm color) than i would select the cream/ivoery toilet and vanity.
eta: if opting for the cream/ivory toilet and vanity, make sure that the colors match. although it doesn't appear to be in my pics, the toilet, vanity and beadboard is the same color. i had somewhat of a hard time trying to match all the cream colors.
not sure where the toilet is from but you can call the manufacturer and request color samples. i did this than brought the samples to compare colors before selecting a vanity and paint color. Image Attachment(s):

We have a similar toilet and tile (travertine). We opted for the stained wood vanity:
(The toilet lever is still SS b/c I can't find the correct type of mount for the oil rubbed bronze lever.  )

is your toilet a toto? if so, the lever is available in ORB. i can take a closeup pic of mine if you want a visual.
