So there it is in all its glory. ย A gaping square hole where the vanity used to be. ย Rather than keeping our vanities separate, we bought a beautiful double sink for what used to be my area with the sitting vanity with the assumption that we would fill his side with a lovelyย piece of furniture with a mirror for my makeup vanity.
Here’s the other side where the double vanity will go:
So, I’ve been on the hunt for just the right piece to coordinate with the larger vanity. ย A standard double desk size is about 55″ and I have a max of 43.75″. ย I really want something vintage or antique if possible, but I have been having a time of it!
I love this desk but it’s backside is rounded. ย I’m worried it will look weird in the nook and I really wanted something darker to compliment the black tub… but I could do a black mirror and this has the dark handles… ย What do you think? ย Is it too gray with the wood vanity on the other side??
Here’s the two wall colors that we are going back and forth about. ย I want taupe:
And he wants gray (like the rest of the house. ย yawn. ย yawn. ย Clearly I am giving an unbiased opinion!):
Here are a couple other options I have been considering:
Antique Desk for $795. ย But won’t the colors clash? ย I could never paint this one!
RH Teen and $861 and only 45″wide so lots of empty space on either side. ย Bigger version is one inch too big!
Writing Desk for $469.99 Would just fit but might blend in too much with the taupe I want or even the grayย he wants!
whopping $999 but very pretty. ย Again, no pop against the taupe/greige wall we had planned….
Almost perfect, but SOLD. ย ARGH!! ย was $450 but maybe more drawers would be nice?
Unpainted Mahogany for $449.99. ย Kind of expensive with shipping to still need to paint.
Industrial $399.99 But maybe a little too industrial?
FOUND IT! ย Oh, wait. ย It’s sold and it’s pick up only outside Philly. ย Bummer. ย $425 would have been great!
What do you think? ย Have a favorite or a suggestion? ย I’d love to hear!

Omg soo hard! I remember when I had to choose things for the house. Fun but definitely challenging! I’m in love with the unpainted mahogany option
