40" Fairfax, Make it a Double!

I wanted to highlight a recent 40" Fairfax I built for a client in Massachusetts, and not just because it's gorgeous!


You'll quickly notice that it is in fact, a double vanity. In the world of doubles, I'd say that this is about as cozy as you'd want to build one. That said, it serves its new family perfectly - as this vanity serves as more of a busy washbasin in my clients household. With their two small children, a second faucet was needed but the room for a larger bathroom vanity just wasn't available. 




The double top on this piece is porcelain and like all the vanities I build, it is made from solid wood. This piece was stained in a Dark Walnut and ultimately received 3 coats of this hand applied stain. I'm also thrilled to highlight the fact that both the top and bottom drawers are nearly full depth and are on full extension ball bearing glides. 




The pulls I used were 8" Pitted Bin Pulls from Pottery Barn, which were selected because they are beautiful (!) and also true to the theme of their 1900's Arts and Crafts bungalow. As a bonus, it is also practical and functional to have a single, central pull on such a wide drawer.  

Awesome project with great clients, loved every minute of this build!
