I am in the process of remodeling my master bathroom. It is small.
Right now I have two sinks. I could sure use more counter top space and
was wondering what to do.
Would you eliminate one sink, or would it be best to keep two sinks for
resale value, even though I plan to stay here?
Thanks.

What, are you retarded? Of all the lame ass **** that comes up on here,
the one that fries me the most is this insane worship of the God of
Resale Value. If you're staying there, **** the resale value. Put in
lime green shag carpet. Use T1-11 for flooring like my friend's old boss
did. Paint the shingles pink.
Tear out the worthless-to-you second sink and give yourself the
countertop room you want. Sheesh. I bet you bought a new car with
leather seats and then instead of enjoying them, you covered them with
plastic to protect the Almighty Resale Value, didn't you?
"Resale value" is quite important. This should be obvious to everyone
in the current home sales climate. If you lost you job and had to
relocate you'd better believe "resale value" is important. If there
are a thousand houses on the market in your area, it doesn't take much
to knock your house out of the running. *Anything* abnormal for your
price range can do it.
Kate, Here we have two somewhat extreme positions. As is usually the case
the median is the place to be.
Only a fool would completely ignore resale value as they remodel. Not
having something you want as an offering to the goddess of resale is about
as bad.
My wife does not do a lot of make up. Many women do. Homes in my area
where there is room for 5-6 foot vanity that are meant to appeal to working
couples are split about 50/50 between a double bowl and a single bowl with
make up area. Not having either when there is room for it is a big mistake.
One sorta offsets the other. I could easily trade the second bowl for
space. We can both use the same bowl but she needs to keep her crap out of
my way. -
