A small bathroom can make getting ready in the morning a real pain. It’s cramped, claustrophobic, and severely lacking in the space one needs to move around without bumping into anything. The hardware you install in here is absolutely critical to making the most out of your space, notably the bathroom vanity. Small bathroom vanities […]
Pedestal sinks have been a staple of small bathroom design for pretty much as long as we’ve had the concept of “bathroom design”. And for the most part, their design hasn’t changed much; a broad porcelain basin perched atop a simple pedestal, with variation mostly in the size and detail work. But while pedestal sinks […]

Much of bathroom design has been trending toward a simpler, more classic cottage style. Like the kitchen, where an old fashioned farmhouse look is booming, homeowners are looking for bathrooms that combine a timeless appearance with a practical, down to earth design that’s convenient and comfortable to use.
