It looks adorable!!!!!

Beautiful! I have a pedestal sink and have this problem because I'm still being indecisive about putting some backsplash tile up vs just caulking. I think if you caulk between the wall and the back of the sink and make certain it's flush and smooth, that should help with the grime.

I have no advice. But WOW.. stunning bathroom. That built in looks great... I especially love the chicken-wire. The space seems really well thought-out. Perfection!!

Beautiful! Love the beadboard and chicken wire.

Lovely bathroom and that cabinet is super clever! Great addition to a small space.

I have a pedestal sink, but it's fairly large and so far I've not had an issue with grime between the sink and the wall. Also, my wall is flat so I don't have grooves to deal with like you do with the wainscoting....can you caulk the area?

You've done a fantastic job. I love the built-in. I am glad to see the dark floor and the white wainscot work so well together. I am planning mine in a similar high contrast, using white tile and black slate. You've given me reassurance!

Regarding the back of the sink, I don't have any suggestions that I've actually used. Could you caulk it with an unsanded white tile caulk? Or a caulk that is paintable so you can match your wainscot?

Thank you! :) I was wondering if I could caulk it....Just unsure if it would look strange or not. You are right though---it is the grooves that are the issue.

Where did you get, or how did you make the ball jar dispenser?

I got a lid on etsy

And just put it on a ball jar that I had at home. She also sells the jars too (blue or clear) with the lid/pump.

I got the lavendar bottles (not a great picture---they look clear, but they are actually light purple) on etsy and ebay.... I bought a few authentic ones, and then mixed in some home-made ones because they are so darn expensive! I made the home-made ones by mixing mod podge with some purple foodcoloring (mixed red and blue) and brushed it on using a good flat 1 inch brush.

Very pretty! We're adding a half bath soon and yours is an inspiration. Love the added storage space. Our bath will be very small so I'll ask DH if he could do something similar.

Would you mind posting a picture of the shower area?

This is our downstairs half bath, so there is no shower. We are in the process of doing our upstairs master bath (also small, but has a stand up shower) and I will post pictures in late August when we are finished... (At least that is when my husband promises it will be done!)

That's a really pretty bath. I love the cupboard.

How about looking for a 2-3-4 tile mosaic that matches your theme? Use clear adhesive caulk to mount the tiles. I would caulk all around the tiles as well.
If with tiles or without, a clear bead of kitchen/bath silicon where the dirt builds up.
White tends to mold.

That came out really nice. The built in cabinet and wainscoting really make the room!

My bath has a pedestal sink and bead board like yours. The bead board is a bit fussy keeping clean at the base boards and behind the sink. I used caulk behind the sink which helps a great deal to seal between sink and bead board, does keep the water away. Also caulked the baseboard to bead board area. Most of the time I run a vacuum brush along all edges. Clean with Bleach Cleanup for baths. Grime really isn't a problem, just the dust loving those details.

Amazing job! Love the way pedestal sink....but you have me wondering the same, how am I going to clean there? I honestly had not given it any thought!

Great bathroom!

How deep is the built in cabinet?

Just deep enough to hold a double size roll of toilet paper. Hand towels fit perfectly rolled and set in on their side.

I have a similar setup with pedestal sink & beadboard. My sink is curvier than yours and there is no caulk. I use an old toothbrush to clean the hard to reach places.

A toothbrush is a good idea....I will try that!

We have 2 pedestal sinks, one is up against beadboard and we did that one ourselves. I felt I needed to caulk it and it is always grimy, even in the master bath. The other one is up against subway tile and is not caulked. I have never cleaned it and it looks great, it's in the main floor bath. I'd try not caulking it and if need be you can always caulk it later.

Sorry I accidentally moved the photobuckrt pics so here is a new link to the pictures...

Thanks for sharing the links. These are so nice. Love both baths but your master is really beautiful. You and your DH have done a wonderful job. Enjoy!
