When the Humans constructed the Habitat for me the main objective (as with all projects) was to make the place look good, think about the environmental impacts, and stick to the budget. Custom cabinetry is worth every penny (especially from Scott at woodsport.net), but it can also eat up a large chuck of the funds. Therefore, the Humans opted to build their own custom vanity for their guest bathroom. To learn more about building a Schoolboy Vanity, click HERE.
The Humans reused a very heavy solid cherry table top (which they got from the Room & Board outlet - great place). The table top was cracked in a corner and considered scrap. They had been hauling this chuck of wood around with them for too many moves, but it finally found a purpose. The vanity’s design was inspired by the shape of an old school desk. The floating aspect makes cleaning a breeze and allows more valuable floor space for me to play. The use of a pendant light and lack of a mirror gives the space less of that typical bathroom look, and more of a sinister cinderella vibe. The great photograph was shot by the Humans friend Greg Hennes. It captures a glass wall, which adds a little to the anti-mirror irony. Overall, the space remains fully functional by providing water, light, and a mirror on the opposite wall.

This is absolutely beautiful, and I am no slouch as a decorator, so I know what I am talking about. If I had a loft, it would look like your house. My house is old and more eclectic looking. Are either of you on facebook?
