Shaker-Style Cherry Vanity

Bathrooms have changed. What were once strictly functional spaces have given way to rooms with a more “furnished” appearance. This bathroom is a perfect example. The focal point of the room is a cherry vanity that’s designed to look more like a piece of furniture than a utilitarian cabinet. With its solid-wood panels, tapered feet, and pegged joints, the vanity is inspired by traditional Shaker design, a style that’s also right at home with many different styles of furniture. Notice, too, how replacing the wood top with a granite slab gives the vanity a more contemporary flair.
