I caught the sun making some nice shadows on my "new" master bath vanity yesterday, so I snapped a few quick shots. I found an old, gray-painted french piece at Scott's Antique Market in Atlanta last fall and had it converted to hold two sinks. (My plumbing contractor may never speak to me again.) I knew I wanted to have something old as an anchor in the new bathroom, and this piece really suits our 1940's home. We added a calcutta gold marble top and I was super happy that we could place the slab so that a large gray vein ran right between the sinks.
It's been a long haul but we are finally finished. I need to do a few more things, then I'll post more photos.
Until then, you'll find me here. In my new bathroom. I may never come back out.

I'm speechless. Beautiful xo
Lovely light, Donna. Oh, to have two sinks in our place...! ;)
Wow..I bet brushing your teeth will never be the same again!! Isn't Scott's just the best?! Really looks great Donna!
Donna, It's beautiful! Hope you are well.
Wow, that is gorgeous...I've seen those dressers around....never thought to use one in a bathroom....gorgeous. Can;t wait to see the rest of it.
wow what a beautiful piece, this is the vanity of my dreames.
Wow Donna I am so loving your new/old vanity it's gorgeous!!!! Your marble is the perfect compliment too. I can't wait to see the rest of you bath. You must be so thrilled and I wouldn't come out either!
That is really pretty. Did your stone fabricator use the top of the chest as a template for the marble counter? Or did you design your own top?
Gorgeous! I can't wait to see the rest.
Excuse me while I wipe the drool off my chin! How beautiful! How wonderful to wake up to that every morning.
Beautimous!
This is simply the most beautiful vanity I have seen yet! What color did you put on the walls? I will be on pins until you post the rest!
Oh! It's great!
Very exciting Donna... I cannot wait to see more!!! And just in time for the holidays :)
My favorite bath vanities are those that look like furniture. Lovely.
Donna,
This is just jaw dropping!!!!! Gorgeous! I love that you've created a unique piece that you will love.
You're a true inspiration!

This is a seriously beautiful piece of bathroom furniture. I look forward to see more.

So fantastic! This is gorgeous- typically I think these sort of things can be a little hokey- but this is perfection. Can't wait to see the entire bathroom!
This is gorgeous!
I love the patina on the dresser and they did an outstanding job on the marble top!
I can't wait for your reveal!
Have a great Wednesday!
Donna
It could not be any more beautiful! I am thinking my dresser needs to have a second life too :)
gorgeous!
Wow, this is stunning! Can't wait to see more pictures.
I literally took a breath in and gasped when I saw your marble...it's gorgeous! The placement of that beautiful vein is brilliant! We have such similar marble in our kitchen and spent quite a bit of time finding the best way for 'our veins' to shine...you did such a wonderful job with yours, it's just stunning!
The vanity is just so pretty as well...it's all coming together beautifully Donna, or should I say...perfectly!
So happy for you...

The vanity looks amazing!! Great work. I especially love the countertop detail.
Donna it looks amazing and I adore an old piece in context of a reno!
That grey vein between the sinks is stunning - like a beauty spot. Makes it just so much more 'alive' and personal.
Well done darling. This teaser has me on the tip of my chair and I can't wait to see more!!
Big hugs

I did this on a similar piece of mine for a client and it turned fabulous like yours!
It's beautiful!!
What a stunning job. Plumber not talking to you...I am surprised that your stone fabricator is still talking to you with all the detailed curves in the marble. Truly magnificent.
Cannot wait for more pics.

Love it Donna! I've come to realize that when you're...ahem..distressing the contractor you're on to something. Pretty gray...love the chalkiness. Trish
Donna, this takes my breath away. Just gorgeous. Will you be serving meals in there? :)
I love love love this, I can't wait to see more! Such great inspiration in your blog, awesome that you got your cabinet at Scott's, one of my fav flea markets!
Shut the front door babycakes!!! I want to grab a sledgehammer right now and go to town on mine:) LOVE!
If your bathroom is anywhere as beautiful as your photograph -- and I am sure that it is -- it is stunning. I love your calcutta gold slab. It is what I am using in my kitchen and I love the drama of the wide gray veining. I also love the dresser you are using for your sinks.
As for never leaving the room, it reminds me of a question Joan at For the Love of a House posed the other day, "Can you love a bathroom?" The answer, most definitely, is yes. I am anxious to see the rest of the room.
Best...Victoria
So excited to be here found you through Splendid Willow where Mon was kind enough to include us both in her amazing post today!! I am in LOVE with this vanity and paired with that luscious marble...its perfection. Cannot wait to see more, more more! Newest follower:)
I saw this on last evening. This is quite amazing! The vanity is a true statement piece. I am a huge fan of using the old for something new.

Wow, what a beautiful piece! And the marble is a perfect fit! And the lighting seems to bring out the best of it too! Stop by, Im having a giveaway :)
gorgeous, gorgeous!! Love the marble, you got a wonderful slab to top your beautiful chest of drawers. This is great and I know you will never regret it. I have an antique vanity in my guest bath and when I move it is coming with me!! xo Kathysue
Donna,
It looks amazing!! My grandmother had a whole set of that furniture...wonder where it is...
Bravo! Stunning! They marry beautifully.
Oh, and thanks for mentioning the blogger/comment issue.

So lovely! I stopped short when I saw the handles and fluted wood details. It resembles a tall French Provincial dresser my sister and I had growing up; 'antiqued' white with subtle gold gilt on the details... Of all the furniture my mother 'recycled', I hope that little dresser is in storage in the basement; you have inspired me! Thanks for the post!
this peek is gorgeous Donna! can't wait to see the rest of the room.
