There’s nothing more beautiful than furniture made with high quality, exotic wood. The very best wood has its own natural luster, with intricate natural patterns and deep, varied colors, and even a little natural shimmer and shine – no stain needed. But rare woods are becoming increasingly, well, rare – difficult to find and expensive […]
The best antique bathroom vanities are those with high quality finishes. Real antiques don’t look like you bought them brand shiny new from your favorite boutique, and to get an authentic antique look and feel, your bathroom vanities shouldn’t be, either.
