AS we complete the finishing touches on the kids bathroom..
REVEAL on Monday!
I am beginning to pull all the ingredients together for the LONG OVERDUE
MASTER BATHROOM UPDATE.
I have known all along that I want to convert a dresser into the vanity…With the addition of a vessel sink….Here are some of my inspiration shots:

all along I have wanted to use this dresser …
- Phoebe’s Nursery dresser
and purchased this sink:

But realized, a little too late, that the center partition in the dresser would make the transition a bit tricky. Often what will be done in this instance is the sink will be placed off center…which I actually kind of like, but in our case,we are working with the existing footprint (story of my life…maybe a good name for this blog!) and thus, the sink needs to be centered on whatever piece I use. back to square one…I took a shopping trip around the house to see if any of the dressers “in stock” could be adapted…

and finally OUR dresser…which is really pretty perfect for the vanity…except well, then what would I do?

so..I went shopping at all of my favorite used furniture stores, for some sort of piece, console, dresser, whatever…i knew I would know when I saw it…and just when I was about to give up…
there it was…a 53″ bowfront tiger oak dresser…ALREADY made into a VANITY!!!!
My husband picks it up today. The sink is actually a nice one, the PORTRAIT sink by KOHLER… but it has seen better days so I am replacing the sink.
THIS sink will hopefully go in my Dresser…I had originally selected the “Memoirs” sink, but the pre cut dimensions are a bit off…this sink will be perfect and the curved front will complement the lines of the Dresser which I am more in love with every day…

so bit by bit, it is coming together.
I just wrote this blog post while I was having my hair highlighted! She needs to rinse me!!! I will touch base later!!!

You will LOOOVE that sink! We have a pair but one has a major boo-boo. My husband sfepped on the corner while painting crown molding above the newly installed sink… It is my sink in our Master Bath so I just keep a soap dish over it…
