Bathroom Vanity Lessons: Getting Dog Pee Off of Wood Surfaces

August 2nd, 2011

This is why I’ve never had “inside pets.”

I’m currently babysitting a friend’s pug, which goes by the name of “Boris.” He snorts, he wheezes, he runs around in the most confused manner possible, and is generally a bit of a nuisance, but he’s adorable and loving, so who can hold that against him?

Well, as anyone who’s ever had inside pets can tell you, eventually your furniture gets peed on. And, as luck would have it, Boris peed on my wood bathroom vanity. This is ‘lucky’ only in the sense that I now have something new to talk about on my vanity blog, and, I suppose, also in the sense that I learned something new.

Vanity of the Week for the week of May16, 2011

May 20th, 2011

First, an announcement. I realize now how silly it is to title my “Vanity of the Week” posts with the name of the vanity embedded in them. It totally ruins the suspense, and frankly it’s not fun at all, is it? So, from now on, I will title my VOW posts with the date so we can keep these things nice and orderly. Right? Right!

Good, so, onward and upward. I am pleased to present our newest Vanity of the Week!

The first word that comes to mind when I look at this particular floor-standing bathroom vanity is “edgy.” And not “edgy” in the way that Natalie Portman’s role in the recent Arronofsky flick “Black Swan” was edgy (that movie was seriously, seriously edgy by the way). I mean it’s “edgy” in the sense that it prominently features highly dramatic and yet strikingly minimalist angles, or “edges.” Yes, I’m not exactly digging into the creativity box today.

But take a look and see what I mean:

Look! Look how awesome it is!

Wow, I can’t believe it’s been a month since I last posted something.

New products, new manufacturers, overhauls of our site and store design – it’s all been such a blur that the month just zoomed by!

But, I’m back. And I’m about, oh, 3 weeks overdue for a Vanity of the Week. So here I am, back, with a brand new Vanity of the Week!

Vanity of the Week: The Elegant 63″ Grand Regent Double Bathroom Vanity

March 23rd, 2011

It’s that time again! This week’s Vanity of the Week is the elegant… the delightful… the fantastic 63″ Grand Regent!

Ta-Da!

Ta-Da!

The Grand Regent is a beautiful double bathroom vanity that offers plenty of functionality to compliment its natural good looks. The vanity is built from strong oak with some reclaimed wood components so it is guaranteed to last a lifetime.

The basin is gorgeous frosted glass with a sea-green hue that perfectly offsets the rich espresso cabinet finish. The countertop mount is convex so the top has a slight curve to it, which is a lovely stylistic touch. Maybe not the most practical feature we’ve ever showcased on a cabinet, but it truly is beautiful… and beauty is the heart of vanity! (badum-cha!)

The glass top is stunning

The vanity is propped up by 4 incredibly sturdy solid oak legs with chrome accent caps, and brushed steel handles adorn every drawer and door. 3 sliding drawers are built into the center console of the vanity, and two double-door cabinets are on either side. All doors and drawers feature our patented Soft-Close system to ensure a smooth, gentle close every time you shut the door.  Frosted glass door inserts and charming chrome faucets complete the ensemble.

Look at all that bathroom vanity storage!

Like all of our double vanities, the Grand Regent offers plenty of storage space and organizational capability. The 63″ countertop provides plenty of room for both you and your spouse to share while you do your daily hygienic duties. Trust us, this vanity will make your life easier one morning at a time!

For all these reasons and so much more, we are proud to bestow the Grand Regent with our highest honor: it is this week’s Vanity of the Week!

And the porcelain basins are completely charming, too. Really, what’s not to love about this awesome contemporary vanity?

While the vanity boasts two sinks, it does not feature as much storage space as many of our other vanities do. It only has three sliding drawers in the center console. However, the vanity makes up for the spatial shortcomings of the cabinet with an additional wall-mounted shelving unit, perfect for your toiletries and hygienic products.

Only 3 drawers, but shelves make all the difference
