Sailboat owner here! I definitely would not want to paint that beautiful wood vanity base either (Benoit is a true craftsman!). I highly recommend a few coats Epifanes Clear Gloss Varnish (which is really polyurethane) to waterproof it (and as a bonus has UV protection, since the bathroom has a lot of natural light), followed by a few coats of Epifanes Wood Finish Matte on top to tone done the gloss (which is brilliant because you do not have to sand between coats if you reapply within 72 hours.) It's made for boats, and a great product!

you can definitely sand back a stained wood to it's natural colour. Specially if it's oil base, the stain sits on the surface of the wood. It's not absorbed deep under the surface. A medium grit (80-100) and a bit of elbow grease or an orbital sander will do the job.

I’d bring in the other bathroom elements before deciding about staining the vanity or not. Even laying things (like the faucets, the marble, the paint options, the hardware, the mirrors, the light fixtures, etc) out before installation could be helpful in deciding what you like best. Wood is so beautiful that it is always tempting to leave it natural, but Benoit’s craftsmanship will shine regardless.

The more modern Matisse print looks wonderful for a headboard. I would use the 2 tone as throw pillows and put some linen colored fringe around the edges - maybe add a Ziggy color into the throw pillows to coordinate?

The simpler design looks like a wonderful combination of yours and Phillip’s design sensibilities. (You’re incredibly talented, Anna!) The multi layered one while beautiful, is very busy for the space.

You already have the checkboard floor, the shower tile, the mirror... lots of elements.
