Most bathroom vanity cabinets are just that: cabinets designed more or less the same as kitchen cabinet boxes, with a lot of wide open space and maybe a shelf or two if you’re lucky. But when a vanity is all the storage you have in a small bathroom, you want something with a little more […]
Incorporating wood elements into a bathroom is always something of a risky proposition. While wood bathroom vanities are pretty common, they’re also much more heavily finished than just about any other kind of wood feature, made to weather the worst humidity and moisture a bathroom can throw at them. But there’s also no better way […]
The definition of a “home office” has gotten pretty flexible in the last few years. Especially with the shift towards wireless devices and telecommuting, even people without traditional work-from-home jobs are finding themselves in need of a workspace for those days they don’t make it to the office.
