Good places to look?
I’m sick of the standard cabinet.
What do you have? What do you like?
Most important what do you hate?

We had a custom double vanity made for our bathroom and it has greatly improved the functionality of our bathroom! It's only 49" wide but we mounted a double trough-style sink (Duravit) onto a floating vanity. I love love love having two faucets so two kids can wash hands or brush teeth at the same time, and we push their stools into the space under the vanity.

F needs a step stool. |

We had our cabinet company make our bathroom vanities. We were able to customize everything and it really wasn't all that expensive compared to what pre fabricated ones from the big box stores cost.

What do you need/want to store in the vanity? That will affect my answer.

Besides the small top drawers for toothbrushes, toothpaste, Dixie cups, hairbrush, my girls keep nothing in their drawers. I’m sure this will change as they age but right now it’s 2 empty cabinets and 4 empty drawers. |

The girls have hair stuff. Electric toothbrush for older two, toothpaste, hair brush, and some storage for a few towels.
My wish, a drawer or area for each kid to keep things off the counter. E is 10 and likes to keep her stuff in a different area from F.

On that note, def look for drawers that have a protective coating? sealant? (Not sure the right word) on the inside.
We had a vanity with really well-finished drawers in our last house and it was easy to wipe out toothpaste, etc. At this house, the insides of my kids’ drawers are getting wrecked because they weren’t made to withstand any kind of moisture, etc.
