Dreaming big,

not always getting what you want, and the design evolution of a bathroom.

And so on. And so forth.

I fell in love with these pieces by Jaime Hayon for ArtQuitect 4 years ago when I began my reno project. I wanted this vanity for my guest bath

But it wasn't to be. It was going to be too expensive. It was going to take too long to get. Whatever it was.

I don't really remember when the idea of it fell by the wayside or when it became definitive that I wouldn't  get what I wanted, but when it did I already had a back up plan.

Around this same time, I was becoming fascinated with some of the furniture and accessories designers were fabricating with Corian.

So! I thought. Maybe I can have someone fabricate a look-a-like Jaime Hayon vanity out of Corian. Yay!

But I live in a small town. And sometimes it's hard to find someone willing to try new things.

But I found such a person. A Corian fabricator who's business had dropped dead off at the crash of the building boom.

But he could only do so much with the machinery he had available to him in his shop.

Still, he was happy to give it a try. And I ended up with this

 All made of Corian. And I love that.

I didn't get what I wanted. But I got something I needed. And something that fascinates me.

And because I know I'm not going to get this (gee, it's gorgeous)

Or any of the other number of bath storage I've fantasized over, I've been working on back-up plans. 

And now, one of them may involve Corian. Yay!
