I just think that cleaning the counter would be annoying and incomplete.  And like someone else mentioned, more valuable counter top space.  Something else clever could replace the cabinet perhaps hanging on the wall.

If it's just a powder room, I think the shelves are fine because counter space is not needed.  However, if not a powder room, then I would make the shelving smaller to make more counter space.  I really like it.  Looks so neat.

On the third floor of our shore place, we put in a bath under the slanted roof.  Plenty of useable space:

We did the work ourselves over 25 years ago:

 

Cut the door top side to fit into the slant:

Love the idea of using space like this especially under stairs but this looks a bit overwhelming in this smallish space. It could be good for storage if used wisely. 

 

I WANT that mirror - it is gorgeous! Love the shape and that it has beveled edges I think).

I would do that!  I would have it filled with towels and bath products though to utilize the shelves better.   And yes, I love the mirror too!

good idea--I put a walk in pantry that has a slanted ceiling from the space under the stairs to the 2nd floor of my last house---so much space for stuff!!

Yes...I like the look and it's functional.

If this is a main bathroom, and not just a powder room, I'd fill it with baskets and jars of my make up, lotions, cotton balls, etc.  I wouldn't want the shelf just filled with knick knacks.  If it is a powder room, I'd eliminate the shelves completely.

I agree.
