So as many of you might recall I am in the midst of remodeling a (very!) small boat house on the water in Michigan. I am at crunch time -- final decisions have to be made and executed or we will be well into summer before this thing is DONE, and frankly I would rather be able to spend time enjoying the place rather than keep obsessing over stuff...
OK, on to the immediate question: I am putting in a white kitchen and on the opposite wall (about 20 feet away) there will be matching white cabinetry that is a built in closet wall. The bathroom has a white toilet and white tile in the shower... but for the life of me I can't find a WHITE vanity to put in there. I don't want to go with wood (i.e., brown), but I'm running out of options. I did find one last night that I really liked... until I saw it in person and it's much more ivory (well toward the yellow) than white, and I'm afraid that would be odd because it would be the only cabinetry in the whole place that isn't pure white, and also because I think it would look "off" due to the pure white of the toilet and shower.
What do you think -- am I over analyzing? There are a couple of white vanities I could order but they all have a one month + lead time and I am really hoping to get a working bathroom much sooner than that. Also, I'm a little uneasy about ordering things that I haven't seen in person now because I did order one and last weekend once we unboxed it I had to return it (which was a HUGE hassle) because the quality just was not acceptable.
Ugh. The trauma/drama of being a perfectionist...
Help me see the light!
