@ hollielambrose...I am of the turn of mind that if somebody just loves things natural and oif "driftwood" or old wood...or even new twigs and branches... and can envision what can be made from those pieces of nondescript nature...these are all very acceptable in any kind of home. I do not like homes that are show pieces in themselves, musoleums to one's existence so to speak, but i definitely do like homes that are turned into artifacts by everything hand made and recycled/repurposed. Thes items have soul! They express the idea of "home...where the heart lives" and the creativity and zest for living and beautiful things of those who have made them or purchased them for their homes. Every one of the Pictures above is an inspiration to me! To me a hand made item from any kind of wood or twig that has been designed to serve a practical purpose is something of wonder compared with some of the stark concrete sleek dwellings that are in vogue today. A HOME never dates. A HOUSE does.

@turner3477 YIKES! You already had the "aged look" and a very unique timber cabinet. wherever did you get it? I still think this trend of "paint it black or paint it black and white or paint it white is a psychological dilemma where people don't know how to use colour or are scared of it...or are afraid that they will not be "en trend" and keep up with the "Joneses". Don't mean to insult anyone's sensibilities but its how it looks and feels to me...everything old and genuine and beautiful being veneered to look trendy and plasticky. I'd be delighted to find a timber cabinet like that one as opposed to the the painted white version....and if I was at all tempted to investigate the white one to see what it was made of, my first instinct would be to have a feel and a scratch of that lovely decorative carved frieze above the benchtop....to see if it were made of a plastic mould and just stuck on. Sad to say this but what you have made of this cabinet is "what I call " fashionable fake". One redeeming feature though, whether it has any significance for you at this point in time is that at least under the paint, you know you have a genuine, solid timber cabinet that would have been worth something one day and maybe still will be when somebody, 30 yrs from now, recognises it for what it is and lovingly restores its genuine identity rather than mistaking it for junk and throwing it out to be replaced by the next lot of stage scenery. Wonder what the next "fashionable fake" will be made of when people have forgotten what solid timber and craftsmanship is? Don't know where you live....but would you like to sell me that cabinet at all ? I'd give it the life it deserves and I am sure you could find another one that would look every bit what you want to achieve in your space..(.In fact I could knock up a pretty good imitation replacement myself...not that I'd want it). I like watching` those antique shows in Britian where people bring old wares to be appraised and where antique dealers enter people's homes to buy collectables. It is on these programs that one learns the true value of the timeless pieces...some of which seem like old junk...but what surprises when what looks like junk turns out to be worth investing in! Apart from the above...enjoy your pristine French Provencale dream!

If you do it stop it at vanity height. However, I’d do all horizontal plank tiles to match vanity planks and keep it simple to let the lovely vanity shine.
