How do you install a pedestal sink when the plumbing is up from the floor?

Assuming you can not move the Plumbing or don't want to, hopefully the drain is centered and far enough back to be behind the pedestal. The supply lines probably are not. If possible, I would extend them straight up to the level of the bowl and then angle them to behind the pedestal. Paint them white, chrome, or some contrasting color depending on your color scheme. My take on things like this is if you can't hide it, call attention to it. Old original pedestal sinks often had brass tubes for supply lines that were made just for this and no one thought anything about them. It was just normal.

If you have a drain concreted into the floor that goes to your plumbling in the basement you want to install a pedastal sink can the drain be run out the bottom of the sink or does it have to be in wa?
That would depend on where the floor drain was in relation to the sink. If it is the drain for an existing sink it may be too far out from the wall. There is no way to know without measuring. The pedestal may have a hole in the bottom of it that may be big enough for the drain or not. Depends on the manufacturer. If you can get it to line up somehow, there is a trap that drains out the floor instead of the wall.

If I have a pedestal sink, what kind of bathroom vanity would coordinate well?
If a vanity is installed around pedestal sink, it is no longer a pedestal sink. It becomes a wash bowl in a vanity top. A pedestal sink is ideal in a small bathroom where the mass of a vanity may take up too much space, literally and figuratively. A pedestal creates a cleaner, more spacious look. The options are either a pedestal sink or a vanity with a wash basin, not both.

Can you use the existing shower drain for a pedestal sink and do you need a trap for the sink since there is already a trap in the floor?
No and yes. Amendment (not from a professional plumber!): If you were simply running the sink drain into the shower drain and if there was not a reduction in pipe size, I would think you would be able to do that. I think the reason you need a trap for the sink has to do with code that requires a trap be no more than 24" from the basin to the trap arm. That being said, the pedestal sink in my house does not have a trap until after it drains below the floor.
