The two-sided vanity in this master bath in Port Chester, PA, is amazing. Made of matching antique bureaus placed back-to-back and then linked together with a single slab of marble countertop, it's got way more character than any of the new stuff you'd find at the local kitchen and bath store.

The tarnished drawer pulls and well-worn wood add a romantic, old-world look to this his and hers space. I also like the idea of the lovey-dovey homeowners peeking around the two-sided mirror while they brush their teeth.
