<div style="text-align: center;">Pulling the cabinetry away from the side walls in a bathroom yields a unique look in a bathroom.  I love doing this in powder rooms especially.  The cabinet seems more like a piece of furniture and it makes for a nice transition of materials.  Here are some great examples.<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
