I bought this vintage bureau to make over as a bath vanity with the thought I'd have a stone top and undercounter sink to go with the wall faucet.  However, after calculating the cost for that it seemed to defeat my money saving goal of repurposing the vanity in the first place!  Plus, this bureau is  massively polyurethaned, almost like the wood you'd find on a boat, so I know it will hold up well.  So back to the sink.   The other obvious option was a vessel sink  -  but I'm not a fan of most of those and they  weren't going to work anyway with the planned wall faucet.  </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
