Decorating: Bath Vanities(10)

When designer Missy Connolly renovated a bath for the Baltimore Symphony Showhouse, she wanted to remain true to the house’s early 20th-century heritage while providing modern amenities. She started by designing a vanity with bowling pin legs and a chunky profile that gives a modern twist to Empire design. “The legs are designed to accommodate a low shelf,” Connolly says.  “Since we couldn’t install a medicine cabinet (a chimney wall was in the way), we used the shelf for storage.” Glass knobs on vanity drawers and crystal sconces add sparkle.
