The Vessel Sink
Are you looking for ways to spice up your powder room? Ever wondered exactly what it is about those bathrooms shown in magazines that makes them seem so flawless and refined? Or maybe you just love feasting your eyes on pictures of pretty potties? All of the above? You’ve come to the right place.
Next time you’re scrutinizing a fabulous powder room shot in your favorite home magazine, take a moment to look at the vanity, and, more specifically, the sink. Is it a vessel sink? I thought so.
Vessel sinks are the ideal way to add class, interest, and one-of-a-kind-ness to a bathroom. When placed upon a unique furniture piece (rather than the boring old Home Depot vanity special), they create a focal piece in your home that will keep guests lingering in the bathroom. While they are not suggested for every bathroom in your home, they are 100% ideal for the powder room.
When you open up your mind to the world of furniture piece vanities and vessel sinks, rather than traditional bathroom options, the possibilities are exciting and endless. You can get creative with your sink, and use just about anything that will hold water, or you can go with a more traditional option and choose an elegant and simple vessel sink. Here are some ideas to help you choose your path to powder room glory:
Traditional:
Rustic:
Eclectic (and a little bit crazy):
Bringing it all together:
So, let’s recap. The first ingredients to a perfect powder are a vessel sink and a unique furniture piece. Next, throw in a contrasting/complimenting mirror with an unusual shape or frame. Finally, add wall sconces, wall paper, tile, etc, and VOILA! You have the recipe for an unforgettable powder room.

May 10, 2013I have seen a lot of vessel sinks in friend's homes and even establishments and i think they are nice-looking sinks and definitely a great choice. I wonder though, how much it would cost and is it possible to do the installation ourselves?
