bathroom-vanities

your selection of
bathroom showers,
bathtubs and
your bathroom fixtures
will be determined
by your family's needs

Some bathroom-vanities have double sinks, his and hers, and other vanities have only one sink. Some people even prefer to not have a vanity at all, but to use pedestal sinks instead. Whatever is your preferance will determine the look of your bathroom.

The countertop of a vanity is an entirely different subject.

We find that we aren't fighting for the sink, so we only had one sink installed in both of our bathrooms in this home. That may change now since RL is retiring shortly, and his hours will be the same as mine.

2009 UPDATE: RL has retired now, but we decided to each have a bathroom of our own. It still isn't a problem to only have one sink in each bathroom for us.

Your lifestyle will have to determine what you need.

We had a double sink bathroom vanity when our 9 children were all at home. We even had a door between the vanity area and the bathtub and toilet, so both boys and girls could use the bathroom at the same time, providing proper privacy.

Our Master Bath area also had a door on the toilet and shower, making it possible for someone to use the sink while someone else used the shower or toilet.

For a large family and only 2 bathrooms, this was a perfect solution and we seldom had fights over bathroom usage.
