Vanity of distinction

Cherokee County in north-central Georgia, isn't the first place you'd start looking for a world-class furniture manufacturer, but that's exactly where you'll find one. The Furniture Guild, located in Canton, Georgia, employs a team of talented woodworkers, artists and finishing experts to produce beautiful, high-end, hand-crafted cabinetry, including the bath vanity shown above. From the company's Vanity Flair Collection, the vanity features a stone top, glass sink and bow-front cabinet built of bamboo. It has two doors and a drop-down center panel that gives access to the plumbing. The Bamboo Vanity is available in more than 40 finishes and it can also be wall-mounted. Prices start at around $4,995.

Space-saving bath shelving

Here's an easy, elegant way to add a little storage to even the smallest bathrooms. The Triple-Tier Corner Shelf (above) features three 3/8-inch-thick, tempered-glass shelves, which fit snugly into a room corner. The easy-to-assemble unit measures 8 1/4 inches deep x 14 inches high. It can be mounted to a wall, or stood on the floor or vanity counter. Shown above in satin nickel, the shelving unit comes in four other finshes: polished chrome, oil-rubbed bronze, antique bronze, and matte black. It's available on-line for about $74.

American beauty

If you were to head north 60 miles or so out of Atlanta, you'd come upon Sugar Hill, Georgia, a leafy bedroom community that's home to 11,000 people, and one very innovative, cutting-edge manufacturing company: MTI Whirlpools. MTI designs and manufactures an expansive line of made-in-America bathroom products, including sinks, shower bases, frameless glass enclosures, and bath furniture. However, the company is best known for its stylish tubs, such as the beautiful Elena bathtub shown above.

Peek-a-boo shower curtain

Here's another one of those "why-didn't-I-think-of-that" ideas. The Clear View Shower Curtain is specifically designed for bathrooms that are small, cramped, or have limited lighting. The attractive curtain features a clear plastic upper panel that emits light into the shower stall or bathtub, creating a brighter, safer showering environment. The 24-inch-tall panel is made from durable reinforced double-vinyl sheeting, and is fitted with rustproof aluminum grommets. The 48-inch-tall lower section of the curtain is made from opaque vinyl for privacy. The curtain is machine washable and impregnated with an industrial antimicrobial and germicidal inhibitor, which eliminates germs and stops the growth of fungi, mildew and mold for the life of the product. The Clear View Shower Curtain is available on-line for about $23.
