Since we rather backed into this project I haven't had a lot of money to spend on fixtures or time to shop at the Re-Store trying to find something old. So I went to Lowes and Home Depot and did the best with what they had. The European style vanity is hip right now, but is has the same grace as an old antique vanity, without too much fuss. There's not even veneer on this vanity -- it's 100% plastic but it's a nice dark brown color. It's Woodcrafters 36" Del Mar in Expresso.
Right away I found the perfect faucet and handles -- also at Home Depot, it's an inexpensive Glacier Bay "Teapot".
The Allen + Roth Copper Rectangular Framed Mirror from Lowes isn't the exact same color as the cabinet -- but since it's antique copper finish is dark with copper highlights, it's a good match.
However the light is a problem. I picked out a light that's the right amount of fussy -- after all this adobe has nine foot ceilings and crown molding. But it's a chrome fixture and looks all too new. I'm thinking of going at it with steel wool and shoe polish to see if I can get it just not to stand out so much.
