Not a bad way to start the day, huh? If you are building or remodeling try getting super creative with your bathroom elements. I have a brilliant friend who used a large piece of driftwood (stretched wall to wall) to house a clear, vessel sink in their powder room. A-ma-zing!

Lighting
Try using sconces instead of vanity lights.

Countertops
Add them to a piece of furniture instead of using a pre-fab vanity.
