I think I saw that vanity I dont think the wood look will look right with my floor and the transition I picked out. I will check out the the other shower, but both the designer and I picked out items to specifically go with the marble look shower. Thanks agin for your suggestions I will check it out. The one you looked at is called frost and I ordered a sample to check it out.

I cant find that wood vanity can you send me the link, thanks

Ok, I hadn't seen your transition piece among all the flooring planks. However, that's an item that's easy to change. Anyway, wait till you get all your samples together before making a final choice. You can also get a plain dark gray transition piece that wouldn't be obvious between your gray plank flooring and your new tiles.

I already bought the transition I like it. Like the designer said it had to be white becuase a dark gray may just clash with nthe floor, but I will run it by her and like I said i cant find that wood vanity anywhere.

Here are a few in wood:

This is also interesting by reversing the coloured wall for white and a coloured vanity:

I actually like the white ones. I think the room needs something bright and the wood ones just seem to blend with the floor.

I agree with you and thanks lisedv. I wish the ezra one came in 30" for the white, but it doesn't. All the ones I picked out are 30" that I posted. Also wish the white one that the classic oak one had Black matte handles like the classic oak one has, but it doesn't they are a dull gray

Your flooring looks great. Glad you had good help from the sales designer. Are you now switching to a 30" vanity? If so, your options will be much wider. Can you remind us what your vanity budget is? And are you still hoping for something that is solid wood, MDF, what you are you thinking?

I found some solid wood ones on Houzz. They are all listed above at 30" but I also found this 24" that is really modern . 30 might be pushing it, but my contractor said I can do it.

Do you want a more modern 30” one? We can look and see what is out there.

These are from Build.com

It’s between 24” and 30 I think it might be pushing it. If I go 24 I’m probably going to get the black and white I posted. Also looking for shower doors with black mstte

Nice! Love black trimmed shower doors.

I’ll tell you what I’ll leave to you guys for a small space I want as much room as I can but then again 30 “ vanity would give me more storage space. What do you guys think

I just measured how much more width I will need. So from the pedestal sink to the wall is 29"" 1 more inch wont hurt I dont think. My pick and the designers pic is the white and black one that is my first vanity pic. I will post it again. Its 30"

Its either this or a couple floating ones i have seen, which would definably give it a more spacious look.

Stylin'! Consider lighter blue paint as it can be intense in a small room when the color is reflected off all four walls....so I would go with three paint sample of your desired color and then two others that are lighter values of the original and try them out.

Good point, but something the designer siad the light blue can get washed out by the whites in the room. I did 3 paint samples in the room and I narrowed it down to the Bootcut by Behr

I agree with Susan Davis on the paint colour, I peronally would opt for a lighter blue but if you want tone in your room, I would go for one that has a bit more softness to it such as Journey's End.

Thanks for the suggestion but the one thing im finding is a lot of the lighter blues have purple going through them. Im not a fan of purple I will run it by the designer at this point I have to, but I will do some virtualization and see what it looks like. By the way one thing the designer did so we could clearly see the paint is put it in a white piece of cardboard, because the color of my bathroom is sea salt

Journey's End have more of a gray undertone.

Two floating ones have less continuous countertop space than one 30”. Just another consideration to throw into the mix.

Thanks again yes I noticed that I went to a place and saw that. So im probably going with the Vanity below and this is what it looks like with Journeys end 1st and Bootcut is the 2nd photo. I think there is more blue in the Bootcut, but either one will work. But again its only a visualization.

Love the ideas the tile place gave you. It seems its starting to come together.

Yes, you do have to be careful w/a lot of paint colors. They have an undertone and sometimes they hide very well, then other times they dont. All it takes is either natural light to wash it out, a small room w/no natural light that brings out the color/undertones, or furnishings that can bring out the undertones as well.

Vanity - With a small space there are two size considerations:

1. The ratio of sink bowl to perimeter "counter" space. Download the specs for each sink, check out the bird's eye view of the sink top. Which vanity's sink will give you the most space to rest a toothbrush, products, glasses, whatever? You are used to a pedestal so you can probably get by with little, but consider the luxury that an extra few inches of surface space affords. Remember, a 30" isn't necessarily going to get you more surface space than a 24" - it is all about how the ratio of bowl to perimeter space.

2. Interior storage space. Again, download space and look at the size of drawers and doors and how they handle pipe cut outs. Some have fake top drawers, or working top drawers that only pull out three inches. Some have gigantic cut outs for pipes, others have really engineers the hell out of the drawers to get max storage.

Everything you have now on .your grey 3-shelf stand you should be able to fit into a vanity. Go over every inch of storage functions. Again, a 30" would hopefully get you more storage than a 24", but not if it is stupidly designed!

3. I'd try to find a floating 30" vanity that gets you the most storage and most surface space, while stil having a generous feeling bowl. I have this in small bathroom. Floating helps open up the feel of the space, and I have more storage than a lot of standing 30" vanities I see.

Wall color - Don't worry about that now.

The painter needs to know the color the day they are buying the paint, not now.Wait until all of your fixtures are installed and lights are in to make final sample selections as they will look different in the actual finished space. You have a solid idea of what you want and will just need to test a few samples in the space.

Hey Kendruh that ugly gray stand has been long gone and I put up a cabinet over my toilet and the pedestal sink is worthless unless you want something that things just fall off of, lmao. That being said thanks for all your suggestions, but if you read some of the other posts like the one that says "Two floating ones have less continuous countertop space than one 30”. The floating ones I saw that were 30" had about the same countertop space I have now, and were not modern looking at all. The one I picked out I have to order from Houzz and then wait for it to get here. Most places dont carry floating vanity's..

Im also going to have a medicine cabinet, so between that and either one drawer or 2 drawers on the vanity I should have enough space. I also find that a lot of the floating vanitys are made from MDF which is just cheap well you know the word. The freestanding one Im thinking about has 3 drawers. Its mostly about the look for me at this point.

I like the idea of a floating vanity with two drawers. If that provides enough space (along with your other storage items) then I would go for that look. It always helps to have things off the floor in a small bathroom.

I hope you can find a quality one.

Here are two from build.com. They tell you what their products are made of. Yes, most cabinets are MDF now.

One more decent one with LED lights in the drawers, not that I need that, and its over 1000

For your small bathroom renovation, focus on maximizing space efficiency with compact fixtures and smart storage solutions. Consider installing a corner shower or a pedestal sink to save space. Regarding Mainstays, it's a platform where consumers share reviews about various products like furniture and home goods. It offers insights into product quality and customer experiences, helpful for making informed purchase decisions. Check the reviews there for guidance on choosing reliable bathroom fixtures and accessories.

I have a pedestal sink now, and its worthless in everyway. One of the worst sinks I have ever dealt with and no room for anything! This is why im considering a floating vanity

Searching for the sink has been an awful experience. Now made harder searching for floating sink where there are far fewer selections and few and far between can actually see in person. The only good thing about a floater is it gives the illusion of more space not actual space. Two problems with floating sink. It has to attach to the wall making installation more difficult and costly as well as any future replacement. 2nd is losing storage badly needed, every inch of it. In a previous post you said could live with a cheaper mdf if have too and replace when/if necessary. Make this easier for yourself by doing so. I do like that white one with black trim and drawers that stands on the floor you posted, unless you discovered a problem. Easy to replace, drawers for storage, flat top with some room for soap bottle and tooth brush etc. Only order if can be returned if quality is questionable. In person store the best. Shipping adds to costs on line and shipping is where damage occurs. Delaying project. Best luck on continued search.

I agree with everything you just said. This is a nightmare the one with white and black is from Houzz, and can be returned, but like you said shipping is a nightmare in everyway. Even though I live near a big city im finding it next to imposible to find any decent vanitys. Unless you have one built which would be really expensive, so like you said I may not have a choice and habve to go with mdf. Have to realize it will probably have to be repalced every 2-3 years. Im also thinking about just not doing it now, or keeping what I have and just do the floor, get a new toilet, and a mdf vanity, and the paint i picked out and say the heck with it all.

Something like this, nice and modern looking, would work very well with your floor tiles and blue walls, plus not expensive, from Amazon with easy returns.

Also available in white but I find the charcoal more interesting.

You are so close to final bath decisions. I did not intend to discourage you from proceeding. Only to make easier decision on vanity. One thing could do is order the vanity prior to starting the project so have on hand, inspected for any flaws, measured etc. Then with all decisions made and all products on hand contractor can move quickly.

You are not discouraging me at all im just getting frutrated now, and worried that if I have to order something it might come damaged than I have the pain of sending it back and starting over again.

From all the research I have done it seems there are 3 disadvantages for floating vanitys. Dirt and dust collecting underneath, way less storage space, heavy and difficult to install

I just installed a fairly heavy wall mounted sink in my powder room. I was concerned about it but my contractor wasn’t. They put wood bars along the back, replaced the dry wall and hung the sink like it was a plastic hook.

It’s not a problem to install a hanging vanity. You just need to be sure of what you buy so you’re happy.

I don’t think many of us live near a lot of bath showrooms so we can see our choices in person. We are all searching the internet and crossing our fingers.

I found an all wood and metal 30 Vanity for 802.00 that is very modern. Ill post a photo down below. I really like it with my existing floor. and journeys end Behr paint

That’s a nice one!

So another question I have picked the white marble look floor and I really want this marble look shower with it. Can this be done or is it going to be to busy But I also think the Tundra one looks really good . I also posted a pic of a gray shower I could go with. Also the shower door

. I also posted a pic of the paint im using its called aleutian blue by SW. Any suggestions would be appreciated thanks so much

Here is the finished product

Thank you for sending pictures of your new bathroom. White with black accents so much brighter and looks bigger.. Add in your happy picture and I bet you smile every time you walk in.

Really its white black and blue if you look closely and yes its an awesome change and im glad the way I designed it came out so good. Although I did get a lot of pushback from some of my family about the white floor. Didnt really understand that I made a small room look way bigger.

Looks even better with the lid closed!

Im a male I caant always promise that lmao

Small bathrooms can be tricky, but that also makes every decision more impactful. Rather than trying to force big pieces in, think about creating breathing room and smart function first. A floating vanity (or one with molded cutouts) gives the illusion of more floor space. Choose a shower with clear glass (no heavy frames) to keep sightlines open. Add built-in niches for shampoos and use wall-hung fixtures so you don’t lose precious inches at the floor level.

For finishes, lighter tones help open things up, but don’t shy away from contrast. Blacks or matte hardware add extra visual punch without overdoing it. And absolutely test your tile for slip resistance before you buy, what looks sleek can become dangerous when wet. As one commenter warned: a beautiful floor can turn into an “ice-skating rink” fast.

Don’t rush the color decisions either. Wait until your lighting and fixtures are in place, then test swatches in real conditions. The same blue can behave very differently under LED or natural light. Let the flow, function, and your comfort guide the final touches.

Its already done and I did almost everything you said

Looks great!
