Discussions about bathroom vanities often revolve around functionality – about size and shape or the quality, quantity, and variety of storage. But as important as it is to have a vanity that’s intuitive and usable and that fits the way you use your bathroom, today I’d like to put all that aside and talk simply […]
The first step in any major bathroom remodel is deciding on a type of decor. Depending on the style of the rest of your home, the choice might be obvious. But if your home doesn’t fit neatly into a particular style, the age-old traditional vs. modern debate might be a little more complicated. If a […]
If you’ve spent any time at all shopping around for a new bathroom vanity, chances are you’ve noticed that, within a few sweeping style categories, they all start to look a little bit alike. After all, standalone bathroom vanities are intended to replace built-in bathroom cabinetry, and many of them tend to be a little […]
I often talk about choosing a new bathroom vanity in terms of getting a look you’ll love – whether it’s traditional or contemporary.

These days there’s a lot of cool new stuff going on in the bathroom design world, but one of the wildest new trends I’ve seen is bathroom sinks made out of wood.
