DIY & Home Improvement

I'm not a big fan of vanity cabinets in a small bathroom. Too many places for dirt to hide between the tub and vanity... or toilet and vanity. I prefer a pedestal sink.

I really like the Kohler Archer series pedestal for a bit of a modern flare to a classic design. The Archer has an accompanying toilet. You can see it at Home Depot ( it seems to be a big seller for them) and, better yet, buy it on-line at faucet direct.com. Save a few bucks AND sales taxes. Most of their stuff is free shipping for orders over 99 bucks.

I'm in Chicago so I, and all my friends, have small bathrooms. I feel your pain when it comes to magazines and websites featuring huge opulent bathrooms. What about us little guys?

I guess my main advice would be to don't get too stressed out or overwhelmed. You ain't re-inventing the wheel in a small bathroom. The floor plan is pretty much fixed (unless you want to move plumbing).

Stay away from super cheap faucets. Stay away from some of those house brands like Pegasus and Glacier Bay - complete junk.
