Visualizing A Floating Vanity

After opening up the vanity wall in the main bathroom, it was obvious where things would have to go - although building a mock-up cardboard vanity was crucial. I built a complete box which could fold down flat and pop open in place with a cut-out for the drain pipes. The cut-out rests on the pipes making it 32 1/2" high which feels great. Most vanities are 30" to 34" high according to builders/architects, and ours have been 31" which does not crowd a room. The clearance space below the floating vanity will be about 8" which is also good to visualize.

The floor tile is 1' X 2' Carrara Marble Porcelain which is modernly "stacked" & a perfect fit.

Existing studs dictate the vanity will mount in the corner of the room, which also gives the toilet as much space as possible but means the light fixture & mirror will move 1 1/2" to be centered over the faucet. The wiring was notched past a stud and the mirror will be hung vertically now. Leif has added Rockwool to exterior wall cavities before Bill helped sheetrock after updating plumbing.

We have chosen the Glacier Bay Dual Flush Elongated Toilet with a soft closing lid for both bathrooms here since it is modern, low and narrow with a "10 min. hook up". After snaking the exit pipe from the septic to the house, we installed one already. Best price Home Depot: $179. Floor tiles: Lowes $63 with a Large Wet Saw rental: $75 from Home Depot.
