Well, I was hoping to have more of an update on the state of my bathroom renovation but alas, the missing piece of marble is holding things up. But, I have made a decision on the sink situation. Despite advice from readers like you, I opted for the glass vessel sink.  And despite the fact that, as many of you pointed out, it'll be trickier to keep this sink clean (versus the white porcelain option I'd been considering), I like it better and do hereby promise to keep it clean at all times! I like the simplicity of it and its trueness to the origin of the vessel sink, which dates centuries back to China, when basins like this were used before indoor plumbing. This 16-inch vessel sink from Home Depot was just $69 and fits perfectly on the vanity in my small space. I can't wait to show you all the final photos but it all depends on the custom cut piece of marble that's needed for the shower ledge. Until the marble arrives, I'm going to busy myself with shopping for the decorative accents!
