why double sinks?

We only have 1 in our bathroom and we don't really need 2. We don't get ready in the morning at the same time, so 1 works well for us!

I would kill for a double sink in our bathroom. Ok, maybe not kill, but I'd certainly give a lot. It's definitely something we want if/when we buy a house.

The husband and I often have to fight for sink space in the morning and evening, so 2 sinks would eliminate a lot of stressful rushing through morning and evening routines. The husband also takes 50 billion years to shave, and can tie up the sink for hours on end, so if I ever want to do anything during that time, I have to shove him aside. Not fun.

Our bathroom is split into 2 rooms. DH's sink is in the area with the commode and the tub/shower. Mine is in a small adjacent room with the linnen closet. Our bathroom isn't huge; but laid out pretty well.

I do love it because we can each do our dressing without being in the other ones way. Plus having the room separated like that we can have one mirror fog free. There has been a lot less toothpaste on the floor since we bought this house! LOL!

Our master bathroom is pretty huge, and DH and I carpool to work so we're always getting ready at the same time. It has been bliss having his and her sinks, lol.

It's not important to me but I'm single. What I DO require is a sink that has a FLAT "surround" (?) so you can lay items on it, e.g. a tube of toothpaste. My bathroom sink is part of a cabinet and the top (the surround, or surface - I don't know what it's called) looks like granite.(?)

The worst type of sink for me would be one where there's no area to lay stuff, e.g. a pedestal sink with a rounded brim. Ugghhh. That's so not me.

I agree. Why do builders or anyone else put in pedestal sinks? They are worthless.

I love the double sinks. I perch on the edge of "mine" while putting on makeup, while DH brushes his teeth. Then when he's finished, I brush my teeth in his sink. True, I never turn on the water in my sink except when cleaning it, but it would be hard to manage without it. Initially, the plan was that we'd each have a place to brush our teeth, etc., when we're getting ready at the same time. But I just have to be different....

I saw this on LOL cats & thought of this thread - the second one down - hiss & purr sinks. (I do hope this link works)

I say it's "style over substance." I like both together whenever possible, but in my world, substance "wins" if it's either-or.

Cute orange kittehs It's the 3rd pic down http://icanhascheezburger.files.word...a53d5d1267.jpg

love the "hiss and purr" sinks!

As for pedestal sinks, I think they work well in a half bathroom where it's just the toilet and sink, but I couldn't imagine one for my main bathroom. Just not practical enough!

OMG, I would love to have double sinks in the bathroom! DH and I both need the sink at the same time it seems.

If I was designing a bathroom, I would have a double sink. Why? Have you ever needed to share the bathroom and both get ready at the same time and one wanted to brush teeth and the other to shave?

Having a double sink - you both can finish together instead of waiting.
