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…

Dining Room Serpentine Chest – too rickety

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!!!
