I am freaking out

Tweet

We are remodeling the entire master bathroom, which means everything we put in will be brand new. A vanity with a sink is one of these things. I remember when I measured our old vanity it was slightly over 35 inches. Of course, there are no 35-inch vanities. The one I really like is 36 inches. The same one in a smaller size would be 30 inches, which is not big enough. There is no size in between. So, I got the 36-inch one. The contractor had told me 36 inches is okay. But now I am not so sure. For starters he is supposed to put tile on the wall, which means the available space in the alcove will be less. But even if he doesn't put tile on the level of the wall where the vanity will be, if the alcove width is exactly 36 inches then I don't see how the vanity will even go into the space. Logically, a 36-inch object should not be able to fit into a 36-inch space. Plus, if the sink is slightly more than the vanity, which can be the case, then I am even more screwed. I am freaking out here. I am not sure what I am going to do if it doesn't fit. From what it says on the store receipt there are no returns or exchanges on special items. And this may be considered a special item. I don't want to be stuck with a vanity I can't use that cost over $900 and then have to buy another one. I thought about maybe potentially putting it into the basement bathroom in place of the old vanity there but it seems like it won't fit there either.
