I had a make up vanity in the house before this one and I miss the heck out of it. I am putting one in my new master bath addition. I can't wait to be able to sit down while I blow dry my hair, etc. in the morning.

I love my vanity. I like to sit at it and do vain things, like check out my pores, put weird stuff on my face and search for renegade unibrow hairs.

I don't find them skeUOmorphic at all.

Beats putting your face on with the rear view mirror...

Use mine for makeup, doing hair,etc...wouldn't want to be without one personally.

Mine is in front of an east window.... I need the light to do all the vain things Becky Harris mentioned.

Well I really appreciate the feedback. Seems most designs look sweet but lack in the functional department. Which is why I ask. And see, thanks to Becky I now can spell "skeuomorphic".

I vanity is also great for storing toiletries.

I love my vanity and am putting them in all the bathrooms in a house I'm remodeling (instead of a 2nd sink in two of the bathrooms). It's a great place to floss, put on makeup, dry hair, etc. I especially like having a comfortable chair with a machine
washable slipcover. It feels luxurious but doesn't add much to the cost of doing a bathroom. Next time I'm going to add a drawer with an outlet so my dryer can stay plugged in. Many mornings I'm charging my phone at the vanity as I get ready. Love it!

Women generally are pleased to see a vanity when they go to see a house, and if there's room it's often desired during a renovation. They're good for getting ready to go out (day or night) and just to have a seat in the bathroom... that isn't a toilet.

We are starting our bathroom renovation next month which will have a drop down 27" vanity between two 39" cabinets. Original plan was two 36" cabinets with 30" vanity but due to the mirrors I selected, we were tight on wall space on the right for the sconce lighting I want. Nothing goes as planned! Is 27" for a vanity adequate (will have a shallow knee drawer) and will it look proportionate between two 39" cabinets?

This client uses it for all the above!

Hi Tiffany...I too LOVE your work and wish you were here in Toronto. I have a question, I would like to have a make-up counter also. In order to achieve this I would have to have 2 33" vanities with a drop down 26" make up counter. Do you think this works or should I give up on the idea?

Sorry I mean 2-33" vanities with a 26" drop down make up counter in the center. Total space I have is 92" in order to have adequate space between the vanities and the freestanding tub.
