What would you do?

By the time I finish posting all these pictures from the new house, you will all be wondering why on earth we decided to buy this particular one.

This is one view of the master bedroom. To the right of the dark purple alcove is the walk in closet. Inside the closet and directly left is the bathroom, sans a sink. I don't know if she planned it that way or not, but she is very proud of this antique bureau that she converted to a sink. It was not plumbed in the original house plans, but was an afterthought. Like, "Gee, what's a bathroom without a sink? I guess we forgot that part. Hey! I know! Let's put one out here in the closet!"

Whereas I stand to inherit some very nice antique pieces of furniture one day, I have none now. So, this washstand does not really fit in with the decor of my house.

Don't get me wrong, I think it's beautiful. This house currently is home to a great many antiques, so this goes with the territory.

But, as MFH and I were touring houses to buy, we oohed and aahed over the magnificent master baths with their huge counters and huge vanities and two - yes TWO - sinks. MFH has yearned for the day that he would actually have a drawer or maybe even two, in the vanity perhaps, for his stuff. I am a hog that way.

I am torn.

Would you rip the bureau out and replace it with more modern furnishings? By that I mean a more traditional vanity/counter/sink combination.

Let's not discuss what to do about the purple paint except to say that it's my least favorite color next to blue. But, it does complement my favorite decorating color which is sage, so I may keep it purple for now. I already have enough painting to do.
