New Sink and stuff!

Who woulda thunk that getting a new sink would be so exciting?! During the AIDS walk on Sunday, I was telling one of my students that we were putting in a new sink, and he proceeded to tell me that a new sink can really change your life. At first I thought he was joking...but I actually think he was being completely serious, after noting all the points he brought up to prove his point. And he's not even the home owner himself!
Well, for us it's been exciting because our old vanity thing was made of cheap particle board, and as you can see, was right next to the shower. The water SOMEHOW made babies with those particles, producing mold and mildew...in the wall, the floor, and of course, the cheap particle board POS!
Some days, it would be so stinky...my neighbor says that our whole house smells better already! As tempting as it was to keep the storage space, we were more tempted by the fact that we found this used sink at a great deal on WHERE ELSE??!...Craigslist! We'd been struggling to find a sink that would fit into our little space...doesn't seem like such a big deal, but 20" isn't much space to work with when most vanities these days are much bigger. You can't really tell, but we had to build a new platform for it out of wood, since the matching linoleum was missing where the sink used to be. We also added shelving and cupboard space above the toilet...and pretty soon (oh, and that will be an exciting day, we'll have a new medicine cabinet, even!).
