I think this is highly personal. Are you concerned about resale value or your own personal enjoyment? Do you actually sit down to put your makeup on? Does it require a lot of space for laying out a significant amount of products? Do you have someone in the room getting ready at the same exact time as you?

We have a small (by US standards) house and mainly I put my make up on in our one main floor bathroom (there is a lower level bath but no one seems to want to use it :grr:) Generally I am bumping elbows or stepping aside for someone to zhuzh their hair or brush their teeth. It's not the end of the world.

I will say the few times I've sequestered myself to my office to put on makeup for an event, I routinely run back to the bathroom for the water (wash my hands between products or to do my contacts, etc...) so I prefer getting ready near the water source.

I never sit down for makeup, and I do use the bathroom at same time as Spouse, so we value two sinks. A lot of buyers would too. But if you'll live there quite a while, you have to balance your own valuations of the extra sink versus makeup area and then pick. (If I did sit for makeup, I don't think I'd need water, as I generally use a square of tp between products or whatever, so not sure that would be a big deal for me. How's the space in the bedroom?)

I left the second sink's pipes in the wall, sealed off, and photographed the position of those pipes in case a new owner wants to replace my one-sink vanity with a two-sink one.

Leaving the plumbing for future use is a good idea. Choose what you want to do. If someone truly wants to buy your house they will. I have not lost a home sale due to a vanity yet. Been in real estate business 10+ years.

The Grey vanity posted is cute, but not user friendly. Space too small to sit at comfortably. When cabinet mirror doors shut, the reflection of face will be divided by door frames.

Sitting in a bathroom, highly moist space to do hair and make up is never appealing. I sit, in my bedroom at my dressing table. I have a large tri-fold mirror and I use a smaller make up mirror. Multiple plug ins via extension cord. I say get out of the bathroom and into the comfort of your bedroom!!

I never sit down to do makeup but when I was younger I had a makeup table in my bedroom it collected all kinds if stuff but not makeup. IMO you do what works for you now not some imaginary buyer .

I have decided to create a glam space for myself outside the bathroom. Purchased a great mirror for starters. This is a HUGE mirror 16x20

This one below is smaller, but still a very good size.

I have looked over the layout and the measurements and think I have a few other options. After thinking about it I decided that I can't live without some type of vanity in the bathroom, I wash my hands several times while doing my makeup and hair, (I may have a problem lol) I also have to have a washer dryer on the second floor so there will be a compact bosch stackable washer dryer in a cabinet. In photo A I could leave the vanity sink as is and then put another sink near the shower, B maybe leave the double sinks and move may vanity near the shower which would be nice because it would be near a window, the last option C would be to leave the double sinks and add the vanity to the opposite wall which would give me the opportunity to expand the shower another foot, so it would be 5' x 5'. option C seems like the best idea but I'm not sure about the min. distance required between the vanity and the sink. Any one have an idea. The layout shown is not to scale.

I’m doing the same and had no hesitation in ditching the 2nd sink for a large makeup area (under construction now). Every couple I’ve ever asked tell me they’re never in there at the same time.

Does anyone know where to buy this vanity? i would love it without the countertop shelving just the sink and makeup table by itself!

Candice, look at cabinet shops that sell both kitchen and bath cabinets. There, components are bought and then strung together to form a run of cabinetry. From right to left in the OP's opening picture, there is a 36" or 42" sink base with drawers (the top two drawers likely are very short in the middle half of each drawer to allow for plumbing for the sink), an optional furniture "bun" foot in the kick space, a 30" drawer, and a full side panel with bun foot. both this end piece and the sink cabinet's left side are made with finished sides. The drawer slides for the below-counter drawer go into those two pieces, too. A countertop is custom fabricated through the same supplier or at a local stone shop. You get all the cabinets in place, installed onto the walls, and then have them come and template the top to fit exactly.

Bathroom cabinetry used to be done at a 30' - 32" height, but we are now seeing bath cabinetry at the same height as kitchen cabinets, 35" plus the top. Bathroom cabinetry is usually 22" deep, not the 24" of the kitchen cabinet, but may be as narrow as 18." I believe you can still buy semi-custom cabinetry this way at Lowes and Home Depot, too.
