Would you eliminate one sink, or would it be best to keep two sinks
for resale value, even though I plan to stay here?


TWO sinks in a SMALL master bath?

Very, very few (like maybe seven) master baths in the whole country have
two
sinks and in five of those the second sink is used as a urinal.

Ditch the second sink and replace it with a plant.


? WHAT? I don't know where you live but almost ALL master baths in
new homes have two sinks and many of them have a built in vanity area
on one with the other being several inches higher.

That being said, if it is a SMALL master bath, having the additional
counter space may be a better way to go and would probably do more for
the resale value than not having enough.

reply: I agree. Saying the space was smallish, I would rather have the
extra counter top rather than a small top with no room for anything because
of two sinks. How often in reality are both the sinks used at the same
time? We recently remodeled the bathroom, and changed from two sinks to two
sinks. There was a long countertop with two sinks. We made that one sink,
then added another sink on the opposite side of the bathroom where there was
a shelf. It worked our great, but our master bath is "large". Large
bathtub, two countertop sinks mirrors medicine cabinets etc, toilet, and
large tile shower. With a smallish space, crowding too many things in there
really affects the whole ambiance of the room. I'd go with the single sink.
