A Popular but Traditional Bathroom Vanity Cabinet is the Way to Go

Lately, I’ve been doing a fair amount of thinking about a bathroom vanity cabinet and the reasons behind the noticeable success of such common bath features. A long time ago, hardwood was the furniture material of choice. This was, of course, a while before the proliferation of cheap plastic polymers. This was also long before the widespread adoption of the assembly line system.

It was, simply put, a time when skilled artisans crafted their bathroom vanity cabinet entirely by hand, with skill and professionalism and artistry that modern machines can’t quite seem to replicate. And while many craftsmen imitated their works, they never made carbon copies. Because of this, each bathroom vanity cabinet made during this time were unique, and had distinctive characters and personalities of their own. Because every vanity was different, the owners could take pride in knowing that their bath vanity was a one-of-a-kind work of art that would forever be a symbol of individuality and timeless beauty.

We had a pretty great antique vanity like that one when I was growing up. It stood about five feet tall, and it had a dark stained finish. The legs of the vanity were shaped like big bear paws, as I remember. It was truly one of a kind, and I remember those bear paws clearly to this day. That’s what an antique bath vanity is supposed to do. It is supposed to leave an impression in your mind of a simpler time, even as it captures your imagination. When I walk into a room that has an antique vanity in it, for a moment in my mind, I can travel back to a time when things felt real, when things were all well crafted and handmade and genuine. A time when highly skilled craftsmen took great pride in their work and built a beautiful bathroom vanity cabinet that would stand the test of time.

I hope you don’t misunderstand me. I know that modern machine production methods do in fact allow more people to enjoy these goods at a more affordable rate. But I do know for a fact that quality was sacrificed in the name of progress for quantity.

Having a bathroom vanity cabinet helps me feel a connection to my ancestors in a way that simple photographs can’t quantify. It takes me to a place where there are no automobiles, no deadlines, and a man or woman could slow down and enjoy life to the fullest measure.

If you feel like I do and believe that your home furnishings speak volumes about you, you should definitely consider investing in a great bathroom vanity cabinet. A house is just a thing made of wood, brick, and stone. A home is a living thing that you bring life to with yourself, your family, and your furnishings. An antique vanity doesn’t just change the appearance of a room, it changes its character and personality as well. The type of personality depends on you and what your tastes are. Bathgems boasts a huge selection, so you should be able to find a bathroom vanity cabinet that will change the personality of your bathroom to what you want it to be.

There is a stunning variety of vanities available online today. I have recently browsed several pages on Bathgems and other retail sites and I am happy to report that no two vanities on these sites look alike. Some of them have a rustic pioneer type feel to them, while others seem to be fit for a king and queen. It’s the most intriguing and engaging selection of antique vanities I have ever seen. Each piece is a display of craftsmanship and functionality that is rarely seen in today’s post industrial revolution world. Any of these would be well suited to be a prop in a period movie because they are so convincing. I know some who are reading this might be thinking, “A bathroom vanity cabinet looks beautiful, sure, but don’t you have to sacrifice function to get such a nice form?” The answer is absolutely not. A bathroom vanity cabinet from Bathgems offer both form and function. In fact, water drains and flows from these vanities just as effectively as from other vanities, if not more so, and the overall design is obviously better quality. If you prefer your antique bathroom vanity to have a wood stain finish, or if you like the black hard wood with the fossil stone counter, or you like an elegant white finish with a marble counter top, chances are Bathgems has the right bathroom vanity cabinet for you. Each vanity comes with its own character and uniqueness that will transform your bathroom into a room with a personality all its own.
