The revival of the vanities!

The revival of the vanities! As our lives get more complicated, accelerated and tight; we revolve around TV time and shows. Our homes have become small places and we find ourselves having to get smart about the pieces of furniture we buy. It is no longer a matter of we have a house and we have to fill it up with every piece of furniture that we can imagine. Now we have to get the most out of the items that we can comfortably fit in our homes; style, function and design go into account when you buy something that is going to take some square footage in your home. That being said; the vanity is no longer a piece just for women to put their make up on. The vanity is being moved from the bedroom into other areas of our home and it is being transformed to the piece that we place our TV and games on in our living rooms or a very functional entrance piece, etc. We have noticed how they have great design, how someone thought about that piece’s style and how attractive it should be; and we can now take advantage of the looks and functionality of such great piece and apply it to enjoy them in the common areas of the home. Believe it or not they are versatile pieces; like the ones designed by Russel Wright or Heywood Wakefield or Paul Goldman can be used as desks and vanities. The low ones with the big long mirrors can be used in an entrance of a home (instead of the classic half round table) as a place to put your purse, keys and jacket on by the door. Over the years I have sold quite a few knowing that the owners had the intension of making them one of the focal points of their living rooms and since they vary so much in heights, style and designs they can be as plain or as sexy as you want them to be. So be sure to get one for yourself and put your creative side to work by using it to its full potential in the rooms that the whole family can enjoy!
