Our Bathroom Sink Mistake
When we built our house in 2020, I chose vessel sinks because I thought they were cute. What I didn’t consider was the height of our cabinets. Turns out, vessel sinks plus tall cabinets equal one very impractical setup. I’ve literally been standing on a step stool to wash my face for the past five years.
So during our recent bathroom makeover, I finally bit the bullet (begrudgingly) and swapped them out. Thankfully, our tall faucets were two-piece, so we were able to shorten them for the new undermount sinks. The old vessel sinks had left stains on the quartz, so we had the counters fully replaced by Atlantis Stone and Granite here in Atlanta, and I highly recommend them. They took the old stone, cut the new one to fit, and installed it all beautifully.
Zach handled the plumbing and faucet adjustments, and we also lowered our round backlit mirrors since they were hung way too high to accommodate the vessel sinks.
Lesson learned: I do not recommend vessel sinks. We still have them in the guest bathroom, but I’m not ready to mess with the wallpaper or spend more money, so they’ll stay. But for our bathroom? No more step stool required.
