Bathroom pedestal vanity

[Julie-Ann]

This was my favourite.

Of all the beautiful to strange pieces featured at the Cersaie Bathroom & Tile Expo in Italy this I really loved. It is so elegant.
Unfortunately I don't know who designed or made it, as it was on the back of the expo brochure with no details. At least my husband and the bank balance will be happy that I can't order it.
What do you think? Can you see it in your powder room?

Pedestal sinks come in two pieces,the stand (pedestal) and the sink itself. The plumbing fits inside the pedestal, which is secured to the floor. The sink is mounted to the wall and also rests on the pedestal stand. Before you decide to purchase, here are some things to think about:

Installing one is a little more difficult than a regular drop-in or wall-mount lavatory. Fitting the plumbing inside the pedestal can be close work. Also, matching the sink to the proper level on the wall and the exact height of the pedestal requires precise measurements. Decide whether you can live without the storage space of a vanity cabinet. Remember, to make room for the new ped lav, the counter top and cabinet are going away. Shelving or recessed medicine cabinets can compensate for some lost cabinet space.
