How big are the plumbing pipes? Most pedestal sinks have "open" pedestals. Sort of a U shape with the open part of the U towards the wall. Would your plumbing fit in there or a least be hidden by the pedestal?

We had our vanity custom made and it is about 22" wide. Just a word of caution - that is about as small as you want to go or you won't be able to find a sink to fit (unless you're using a vessel). We used the middle size of the ovalyn undermount. and it just fit.

Ours is a period style rather than contemporary, but has feet and furniture styling.

I'll check out the U-shaped pedestals. That sounds like it might be perfect. I'd rather not have a vessel sink and I'd like to find something stock to keep the cost down.

Thanks!
