wow, i love the sink & faucet. but i was wondering, do you find that the sink is too small or does it function well in the space?

Tahnk you!

I really love the sink and facuet. It was a really tight fit. The door swings across the front of the sink, it had to be shallow. Also the sink is a little shallow in depth, if you turn the water on full blast it will overflow.

I like this! The contrast between the light tile and dark walls is pretty manly and slick, like a debonair European football player. I think we might have nearly the same tile in our bathrooms! Mine is on the floor though (click on my name to see). Did you get it at Tile Outlet? Sweet. I'm wondering if you sealed your tile. I have found that I prefer how my floor looks when it's wet (the vein in the marble deepens in color) and so I've been tossing around the idea of sealing it permanently.
