Another way to go is to use a pedastal sink or two and add freestanding furniture to fill the vanity void.

I wanted a "period" look for my bathroom (and kitchen). I wasn't concerned about authenticity but I was "inspired" by classic vintage bathrooms - Arts & Crafts; Art Deco, Art Nouveau, Prairie.

I would NEVER go with a pedestal sink - besides storage underneath, there is very little place for normal bathroom stuff and I think it is easier to clean if one has a counter with an undermounted sink that goes wall to wall and so you don't have to clean around anything.

Here is a shot of my guest bathroom which I think shows the vanity. My master bath has similar doors. They are rift sawn white oak stained a medium brown

Very nice. Yes, pedestal sinks are pretty but not practical.

I think you are on the right track with your choice. It will definitely work in your house.

I built my house to have the feel of a 1920's craftsman.

I have a pedestal sink in my guest bathroom but like you didn't want one in my main bath. Showing just to show another version of black and white tile.

Note that Daltile and many other companies do not have authentic black and white floor tile. Their floor tile has a pillow effect and authentic tile is flat, not pillowed. I would look atheritage tile

For my master I had a cabinet designed in quarter sawn white oak to have the feel of a craftsman cabinet.

Cp, I never tire of seeing your homw

We just did a new bath for our 1915 home. We chose this vanity, which is a similar style to the original built-in cabinetry in the home. (Excuse the mess in this photo--and months later we still haven't landed on a backsplash so I don't have any finished photos yet!)

I very much wanted to do a pedestal sink flanked by cabinets with tile tops on either side, but having the solid counter was one of the things my partner felt strongly about. He also wanted to maximize storage since this is the only storage in the room, and I will say that I'm impressed by how well this vanity does that. We did look at doing tile for the top with a tile-in sink but found no one really makes those anymore--it's undermount or drop-in. Someday I plan to change out the drawer pulls, which came with it, for something more traditional, but they're an unusual size so the pickings are slim and it hasn't been high on the priority list.

I would also have preferred either a tile counter (my top pick) or soapstone, but both were well out of our price range. This counter is quartz, which was very inexpensive and seems fine so far, though certainly doesn't look remotely original. We did look at marble but decided we were not a good fit for its upkeep (and most of the local options in our price range were very gray, which didn't really work with a mint green color scheme that you can kind of see reflected in the mirror).

The original bath in our house has a pedestal sink and I intend to keep that as a pedestal or wall-hung sink when we get to renovating that bath in the hopefully not too distant future. But the counter space is very nice to have. One consideration is also the style of your house--ours is a simple California bungalow that originally had painted woodwork and cabinetry in the private rooms and stained in the public spaces (though sadly that's long since been painted too). So a stained bathroom vanity would have been out of keeping with our house, but would be quite at home in a higher end home with stained woodwork throughout.

I LOVE that medicine cabinet . Our last house (built in 1905) had a built in medicine cabinet like that. In this area built ins were stained (sadly lots have been painted). I am thinking a light stain on quarter sawn oak. In our kitchen I did white perimeter cabinets with a stained island and range hood to give a nod to the age of the house without trying to duplicate the old style. I am enjoying your pictures!

FWIW my bathroom pre-remodel had the original hideous mirrored cabinet on the wall to the side. I had thought about just sealing up the hole but then I realized that a medicine cabinet is highly functional for storing - well medicine - and other small items which you want to be able to easily see the labels and grab. Yes there are options for drawers but I decided to have a medicine cabinet in addition to storage in my vanity.

I had the door made as a miniature replica of the cabinet doors for my vanity. Since my vanity was made by a local shop this was easy to have done.

Great solution. And it’s hard to beat the functionality of a medicine cabinet.
