The Bathroom Vanity

I am still not planning to replace the master bath vanity any time soon.  And now that I have tile trim moulding entirely around the bathroom floor, including the toilet side of the vanity, the vanity is pretty much grouted in place.  (The tile trim is fabulous btw.)  The new bathroom is very very nice in what has been re-done.  The vanity, finally painted after looking rotten for 22 years, is at least finally acceptable in civilization.

One thought that came to mind, however, is vanity topped with the same Calacatta Porcelain tile as in the shower, with a bowl sink.

One set of ideas I like a lot is that the sink should be higher (I can barely reach down to existing sink, surprisingly enough since the vanity appears low) and less prone to splashing.

Another way to get to less splashing would be a wider sink.  I find the 7th bathroom photo in this blog to look especially nice, with extremely wide porcelain sink that also fills up the front-to-back depth.  (Most of the other bathrooms look kitchy, with less in the way of practical ideas.)

So then the sink should be not a round bowl, but a large square sink, nearly as large as a kitchen double sink, filling up the entire depth, as much as possible, and raised, with faucet at chest height.
