Mikael's Profile

The vanity is fantastic - but definitely ditch the top.

Silestone is pricey for such a small chunk, I'd stick with a laminate, but go for a super high gloss white like Formica 949-90 with a simple square edge.

If you pick handles for the vanity that echo the faucet I think you can really make it look fantastic.

I had a banner that we used to make a waterslide out of. The vinyl was pretty thick, we tied it to several trees in a roughly diagonal way, poured water down from the top and sort of slid down. It worked until our weight ripped out the ripped the tarp apart.

I'd mix it up, and change the insert depending on my mood.

For instance, if I had it right now I'd have a little painting I did of a fire cut to fit into it.

Measure carefully then try: http://www.leevalley.com/hardware/page.aspx?c=1&p=58141&cat=3,43520,43564&ap=1 It looks like there a few low profile handles that might work in your situation. You might even consider changing the other appliance handles to match.

Living in a bilingual french/english town in Canada, its a pretty clear division between the English speakers saying eye-kee-ah and the French speakers saying eee-kay-ah.

This reminds me of a piece done by one of my favorite artists. The gallery director was retiring and they decided to commission Adrian Gollner to do his portrait. He decided the post-it notes would be appropriate considering the office environment.

LouLou,

I watched the PBS episode with Andrea Zittel a little while ago and fell in love with her installations. Beyond art she has some stunning ideas with making the best out of small spaces, ie. the table/lounge/desk piece of furniture.
