Master Bath & Closet- a little progress

We've gotten a little bit of progress going on in the master bath & closet!

First, we painted the closet...

It is a shade lighter of the purple in the bathroom, although in photos it looks almost identical.  It does look lighter in the sunlight that comes in from the closet window (we still don't have lights hooked up in there, so we'll see how it looks when those have been connected!)

The plumbers spent half a second in the master bath... mostly complaining that we had selected a pedestal sink.  They "have never, ever installed anything but vanity cabinets in a master bath" and voiced his concerns about lack of storage.

Grrrr.... I understand that more modern houses usually have big vanities with double sinks, but these guys obviously don't do much old house plumbing. There are tons of master baths with pedestal sinks on pinterest or in Old House Journal & This Old House magazines/websites!  Not to mention we have a master closet less than a foot away for storage, plus we'll have an antique dresser in there about 4 feet from the sink!

I wish they'd stop commenting on the design choices and just get it installed! (sigh!)
