Bathroom sink

The bathroom cabinetry is being installed. The sink was the first item in, and I'm really happy with the way the sink, the marble top, and the white wood structure and shelf look. Simple, clean and un-trendy. I can't stand to see one more of those square vat-type sinks sitting on the marble/wooden surface. That's the problem with trends and fashion in home design, first it seems super cool, then one day you wake up and it's cheap and abused. So keeping it contemporary, clean-lined and un-trendy is our thing here.

Besides the square, sit-on the thing sinks, my other pet pieve is beige tile flooring. Please, if you are in Uruguay, don't do any more beige tiles for floors and bathrooms. The thing is that they are not THAT neutral, and they beigify everything around them. Put in one or two items in wood, and you're left with a brown + beige color scheme that will be tough to kill. My mom disagrees, she loves the beige tiles, and uses them liberally.

Digressions aside, after the sinks they should be installing the shelving/cabinetry in the "ante-bathroom" that is, on both sides of the entrance to the bathrooms (after the bathroom door upstairs, before the door downstairs). These are the cabinets housing the laundry machine, hamper cabinet for dirty laundry, the water heaters (electric) and the shelves for linens and other bathroom stuff. You can see the wall separating them from the sink part in the picture here. These are difficult to photograph because they are next to the door, on both sides, leaving only a passage into the rest of the bathroom. But they are essential in terms of convenience and storage.
