I m a bit behind my post here, The one that makes the rules here is redoing the Master bathroom. Hiring a contractor for the work. I always say I am a woodworker not a carpenter. Any way, The rule maker tells me they are now using kitchen cabinetry in bathrooms for the added height for the vanity. Also have looked at a lot of bathroom faucets recently, and they make a bunch of them with what I call a "goose neck" faucet. Goes up about a foot and over. My two cents on a old thread.

higher would be nicer, but the one thing I have always hated in sinks and all bathrooms have them. Faucets that you have to bust your knuckles on just to wash your hands under them. There is more than a mile of sink and just this little 3 to 4 inch nub sticking out there to wash under. Why haven't they put something there that is actually useable?
