The Master Bath Series, Part VII

A quick update on the master bath project that is picking up speed again (thanks to my impending departure). I finally was able to figure out how to shape texture along an odd angle which is the last place I needed to finish up. Once I get that sanded and primed, things should progress pretty fast. The only major thing left will be to pull the vanity top out and texture the wall where the sidesplash was attached.

SO, I headed over to Home Depot and Lowe's to pick up some items to further the project along and to order the new vanity top for the bathroom. My superb interior decorator C.W. and I picked out a beautiful Crane Two-Tone Astra Lav marble top in Sand Granite with a White Bowl, but I had one minor issue. The builder of my home decided that he couldn't make life easy and give me a standard-sized vanity top. A much used standard width is 49 inches for vanities and vanity tops. Well, after umpteen measurements and comparisons with different tape measures, I came to the realization that from wall-to-wall, my vanity top is 47 1/2 inches. What does this mean?

I had to order a custom vanity top. What does that mean?

It costs more. It takes longer to produce than a "standard" size. How long of a wait did they tell me when I ordered it to when it will be delivered in Amarillo?

A few days shy of one month.

Needless to say, a few colorful adjectives came to mind when I found that out. I can't wait that long since I need to get the house on the market. So, the new plan is to get as much stuff done as I can such as paint, fixtures, lighting, etc. and then clean up the old vanity top as best I can so I can show the house with a "finished" master bath. When the new one arrives, I'll hopefully be able to swap them out with no issues and be done with this thing.

I knew I should have never stopped working on this project....
