apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Would this do:

we found ours on craigslist ny

...the taps are vola knock-offs, and they are everywhere at several different price points (I would splurge on the originals, and cut corners with the sink)

Lacava has gorgeous sinks. I installed one of their rectangular vessels in my completely renovated bathroom last summer. It is lovely.

This one looks similar to the style you posted:

for the fixtures, American Standard has something similar in lines - check their website for the "One" collection.
Affordable.

Thank you all for taking the time to answer!
Does anyone know the difference between vitreous china and porcelain? Also, isn't attaching fixtures directly into the wall (as opposed to buying a sink that has them built-in) asking for trouble, i.e. having to demolish the wall to get to the pipes if something goes wrong?
Maybe that's the price of luxury? Am I too country mouse?
Thanks,
Bettina

I fell in love with something VERY similar to what youre refering to (See http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/ny/good-questions/good-questions-where-can-i-find-this-sink-and-hardware-016074).
So given budget constraints I got the Grohe 19 291 000 faucet (a little clunkier than Dornbracht or arne jacobsen vola, but it's the only similarly styled one from a mass market line) and the lefroy brooks XO sink. The sink w/all its accoutrements was not cheap but worth it.
I also had the same concern re in-wall faucet. But I ended up getting the in-wall anyways bc it's actually very rare that something goes so wrong with the faucet that you'd need to break the wall. Probably by that time (10 yrs!), your bathroom will be so outdated you'll want to do another renovation anyways!
