The Bathroom Furniture Dilemma

I didn't begin this bathroom vanity blog intent on focusing just on contemporary designs, and certainly not focusing on one retailer only. But my online quest took me to Modern Bathroom, based in California, which sells bathroom vanities (among other gorgeous bathroom implements) that are often, but not always,  constructed of quality materials, such as solid wood, caesarstone tops and granite. And they often come in mirror-vanity-top-fixture sets. Just for the record I'm not a fan of everything these guys do, take the mirror below for example which is hideous and blatenly wrong.

While you have the option of switching out finishes and faucets, I find no way of altering mirrors. Other bathroom vanities I really like, which is this one called Perfecta, has everything going for it-  style and  eco-friendly materials but with a price to match. Considering that I would put it in a guest bathroom, rather than the master bath (not enough counter space!), I would have to think long and hard about this one.
 
Last but by no means least is this fabulous Grove Furniture from the guys at Hudson Reed. This is a very warm and welcoming wall hung vanity cabinet, that just oozes that 5 star hotel appeal. In a wooden walnut finish, this looks super modern whilst also clinging on to the sophistication that a more traditional vanity set would bring. The Hudson Reed Grove Bathroom Furniture is widely available but on my quest I found it cheapest at Liberty Bathrooms. Let me know if you can source it cheaper guys. S
