Vanity of the Week for the week of May16, 2011

Friday, 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!

Vanity of the Week: The 39″ Naked Lune!

Tuesday, May 3rd, 2011

Wow, I can’t believe it’s been a month since I last posted something. I wish I could say it’s because I’ve been occupied vacationing in the Bahamas or perhaps catching up on tons of much-needed sleep. But the truth is, we’ve been incredibly busy here! 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

Wednesday, 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!

Vanity of the Week: The 59″ Modus Wall-Mounted Double Vanity Cabinet!

Tuesday, March 15th, 2011

It’s time for our “Vanity of the Week!” This week’s lucky winner? Why, none other than the amazing 59″ Modus wall-mounted double bathroom vanity!

This vanity is one of our older models, and one of our very first exclusives from JWH Imports. To this day, we are the only online vanity retailer to carry the Modus vanity. And we couldn’t be happier with it!

The vanity features a simple, modern design that proves the old axiom “a little goes a long way.” Despite its relatively small stature, the Modus packs a powerful decorative punch.

"Style, thy name is Modus!"

"Style, thy name is Modus!"

Featuring three separate compartments, the Modus is lightweight and easy to install. It is built from high-grade reclaimed and vulcanized wood composite (mostly oak) to limit cabinet swelling in even the most humid of environments. 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

The Modus can be yours for $899, and of course, that includes sales tax and we cover the shipping costs. Come in to our San Diego showroom location, and get the Locals-Only discount to make your purchase even more of a steal!

The elegant Modus... our Vanity of the Week!

Wednesday, March 9th, 2011

The “Vanity of the Week” this week has got to be the Metz. Seriously, just look at it!

It’s gorgeous!

One of our newer antique-style vanity models, the Metz is something you really need to see in person to truly appreciate. Luckily, we have it on our showroom floor, so be sure to stop by and see it for yourself if you’re in the San Diego area! If you’re not going to be in the San Diego area anytime soon but still think this vanity would look perfect in your remodeled bathroom… trust me, you’ll be very happy with the results if you order online. Besides, we’ve always offered free shipping, and who doesn’t like free shipping?

The 56" Metz vanity looks great anywhere

The vanity is just over 56″ across, which means it’s not as wide as most of our double vanities. This may be a deterrent to you if you are trying to fill a huge master bathroom, or if you really, really love your “personal space,” but if you want a functional and extremely elegant vanity cabinet to vastly enhance the character of your bathroom you won’t find a cooler vanity anywhere else.

The cabinet is constructed from real birch wood and is finished with an antique cherry stain that allows the natural beauties of the wood itself to shine through. The panel drawers and border embellishments are handcrafted by talented artisans so every Metz vanity is unique. The countertop is 100% all-natural stone, available in either granite marble or travertine (a type of limestone).

No matter your storage needs, the Metz has got you covered. It features ample organizational room in each of its 4 sliding drawers, as well as two spacious double-wide cabinets perfect for housing your toiletries and hygienic products.

Wednesday, January 26th, 2011

Hey San Diego bathroom vanity shoppers! We are incredibly excited for this upcoming Tuesday, February 1, when our brand new showroom and retail store opens up in Pacific Beach! Situated right next to the 5 freeway, it’s really easy to access from pretty much anywhere in San Diego.

We’ve got a lot of work ahead of us: all weekend long we’ll be transporting stock from our big warehouse in Sorrento Valley over to the new store and setting up show models. Needless to say, things may get a bit crazy!

Check out our great selection of contemporary, antique, double, and single sink vanities, all under one roof! Our vanity cabinets are manufactured by a number of reputable craftsmen both locally and internationally. Several of our models are even totally unique to Bathgems!

Unfortunately, the new showroom is not big enough to have a floor sample of each and every vanity model that we sell (I don’t know if any warehouse is that big!). But we have most of our most popular models inside. If you are interested in a particular vanity but don’t necessarily want to make the trip over to our store unless you know for sure that we have it there, feel free to give us a quick phone call. We’ll be happy to answer any and all of your questions!

Oh, and since some of our readers and other interested parties have been asking: no, we are not abandoning the warehouse and shipping center in Sorrento Valley. We are still a major online store, and we will continue to provide bathroom vanity deliveries to all of our customers in the continental United States. We just thought it would be great to have a really awesome showroom for all of our lucky San Diego customers to check out and “kick the tires” on our high-quality products. Also, what better city in the world to open a showroom? Right? It’s the end of January and it’s a sunny 70 degrees outside. San Diego rocks!

So be sure to check out our brand new location on Tuesday. We can’t wait to see you there!

Black Vanity Cabinets: What Bathroom Design Is In Store For You?

Monday, January 10th, 2011

When it comes to bathroom design, black never goes out of style. This is due to its ability to add a sophisticated touch inside the bath and its flexibility to suit all kinds of design and color schemes. This contemporary choice gives homeowners the opportunity to freely combine such tone with a whole range of tones and patterns. Therefore, if you would like to transform the appearance of your bathroom in no time, than a black bathroom vanity is the most ideal furniture that you should integrate inside your bath.

One of the best bathroom design option you could try using a black bathroom cabinet vanity is to prop it against a background that is a bright vivid hue like lime green or red. You could also try using these tones as the primary color of your bathroom accents, depending on the look that you are going for. In this kind of set up, your black furniture will function as the foothold that would tie all the colors inside your bath together.

If your veering towards a classic minimalist bath design, you could achieve this look by combining the colors black, white, and gray. For instance, paint your bathroom walls with white paint and gray molding, and then use your black bathroom cabinet vanity as the main focal point of such space. The key in this neutral minimalist concept is to highlight the lines inside your bath to make it look more spacious. To finish off the look combine lots of textured ornaments in the same colors like white long vases, gray rug and cotton linens.

Another innovative bath interior design is the warm natural concept, which you can achieve by utilizing earth colors. You could paint your walls with beige or mocha hue, and furnish it with a wall-hang black vanity cabinet. Take into consideration that combining browns with blacks can make your bathroom look lifeless, so make sure that you don’t go overboard with your colors and add a splash of life using indoor plants. This way, the plants would become the soft spot inside your bath space.

A black vanity cabinet might be a mature pick, but you could also integrate it in a kid’s bathroom. To do this, you have to paint your child’s bathroom walls with a light color such as baby blue or light green. Once the black vanity is in place, if you’re creative enough, you could paint the furniture with shapes or patterns that are appropriate for kids. However, if you don’t want to modify the aesthetics of your furniture, you could simply purchase decorative wall decals from your local DIY shop and affix it on the side walls of your vanity.

Basically, black cabinet vanities work well for all bathroom designs and themes. If you would like to buy bathroom vanities that are black in tone, always consider the bathroom style that you would like to have. Put in mind that you could be as experimental as can be with this kind of furnishing. As such, you need to painstakingly analyze the kind of bathroom appearance that you would like to achieve and use this as the inspiration of your black cabinet vanity pick, so that you can be assured that it will suit the bathroom style that you have in mind.
