The vanity has gained a good deal of focus throughout the recent years and this is still a good focal point for your bathroom renovation project for 2009.  For master bathrooms, a his and hers section still proves to be stylish and efficient.  Streamlines make an irresistible choice.  This design makes vanity countertops, sink, drawers and cabinetry seem floating above the ground through mounting them into the walls.  With the spaces from one storage to another to serve as shelves.  Scones can be added to the vanity mirrors to make grooming much easier, eliminating unflattering shadows.
