Let’s talk vanities — because custom isn’t always the answer ✨ I know, I know. as a designer I’m supposed to say go custom every time. but honestly, some of my favorite bathroom transformations have started with a store-bought vanity and here’s why that’s not a compromise, it’s a strategy. The secret is knowing where to shop and my go-to’s are Pottery Barn, West Elm, Ferguson, Crate & Barrel, AllModern, Anthropologie, and yes….Home Depot (don’t sleep on it). These brands are doing the work. solid construction, thoughtful proportions, finishes that actually hold up. But here’s the designer truth: what makes a vanity look custom isn’t where it came from, it is what you do with it. The hardware you swap in, the mirror you hang above it, the sconces you flank it with, and the tile you lay beneath it. That is where the magic happens! So before you spend 3x the budget on a custom build, swipe through and let me show you what’s possible right off the shelf.
