Antique bathroom vanities

Since our house will have a lot of character, we thought it would be neat to convert an old dresser or something like that into a bathroom vanity.  Our intention was to do this in either the main floor's powder room or the guest bathroom.  I decided to go to a few antique shops just to look around and get ideas.  My first stop didn't produce much, but the second stop at Mad Hatter turned out to be the key to some new additions to our house!  She had so many pieces of furniture that would look great.  After looking at a few pieces which were all very similar, she told me that they came from a lady's house in which she converted an old barn into this beautiful furniture.  They couldn't be more perfect for our house!  The first piece of furniture that I saw was an old barnwood buffet cabinet.  I wasn't sold on it at first, but after measuring it and really seeing the potential, I thought it would look perfect in our master bathroom as the main vanity.  I'm hoping Jesse, our builder, can add his special touch and make it look as though it was made to be there.  We also snatched up a matching hutch that we will use as a built in cabinet for linens, etc in the bathroom.  I didn't manage to take a picture of the hutch but here is the cabinet/vanity:
