Bathroom Vanities designed, built and installed for Westchester — big formal houses where the job is a kitchen, a pantry, a mudroom and a laundry. Our New York showroom in Brooklyn serves the county; most projects there are drawn on site.
New York bathrooms are small, old and full of existing plumbing that is not moving. The vanity has to be drawn around a waste and supplies that are already where they are, in a room that is rarely square, in a building that limits what can be altered. Wall-hung construction helps on both counts — it keeps the floor continuous in a tight room and leaves the plumbing reachable — and every unit is templated on site rather than ordered to a nominal size.
Older houses here often have plaster over lath, uneven floors and radiators in inconvenient places. Every one of those affects how a run is set out.
Westchester houses are big and formal, and the kitchen is usually the room that was last to be modernised. A butler's pantry, a mudroom and a real laundry are as much a part of the brief as the kitchen itself — the cabinetry job is rarely one room.
Four real seasons mean genuine humidity swings between summer and a heated winter. Solid timber elements are sized and detailed to move, because they will.
The specification below is the same whether the job is in Westchester or anywhere else we work — it is how we build, not what we build for the market.
A vanity is the piece of cabinetry that takes the most abuse in a house — standing water, steam, heat from styling tools and daily opening — in the smallest space. It has to be built for that and still look like furniture, which is a materials decision as much as a design one.
Moisture-stable cores, sealed edges and a finish specified for steam rather than for a dry room.
Floating the vanity keeps the floor continuous and makes a small bathroom read larger, and it puts the plumbing where it can be reached.
Drawers are notched around the trap so the space under the basin is usable rather than nominally there.

We work throughout Westchester, including Scarsdale, Rye, Bronxville, Chappaqua and Larchmont. The housing here is large colonials and Tudors on generous lots, many of them pre-war and on their third or fourth kitchen, and the cabinetry is specified for it rather than to a national standard.
Our New York showroom in Brooklyn serves the county; most projects there are drawn on site. The showroom is at 1200 Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn. Visit when it suits, or start by sending the plans and we will come back with a number per room.
Every project is photographed room by room with the materials and the detailing listed, so you can see how a job like this is actually put together before you commit to one.

You can also search every finish we specify and every appliance we design around.
One shop draws, finishes and installs all of it, which is why the closet matches the kitchen and there is one number to call when something needs adjusting.
