This is an absolutely gorgeous vanity with a stunning mirror. I decided to try velvet as part of the design and i am afraid i can never go back! It added such warmth and richness to the piece.

But that doesn't mean I can't fantasize about the best part of my home; I like the cut of these tubs' jib.
