Restoration Hardware Maison Bath Collection You can't have a complete bathroom without some furniture. Vanities provide great storage and we love the rustic look of Restoration Hardware's Maison Bath Collection. Inspired by late 18th-century French furnishings the Maison Bath Collection captures the rectangular forms associated with the post-Rococo period. Each of these pieces is crafted from solid hardwood and then carefully distressed using a hand-applied multi-step process that gives these vanities and cabinets a real, vintage antique look. The set here is shown in antiqued gray but the whole collection is available in six finishes ensuring that you won't just get the configuration you want but also a color that fits your style.
