All of our bathrooms are very simple. White walls, white subway tile, white painted brick and white cabinets. I've always loved it this way and never tire of keeping it simple.I knew I wanted a large sink, maybe two, but when I saw this I fell in love with it. It's a little shallow, but we've adjusted.
