Introducing Vanity & Co.
Vanity & Company is a new business venture started by Katie Rosenfeld that I am happy to say we are playing a part in. Katie and I have collaborated on several renovation projects over the years, including her own home, The Tudor. When she had this idea for a Bath Vanity line, we knew we wanted to be a part of making it a reality. Vanity & Co is different from other manufacturers of bath furniture. All the styles are modeled from vintage pieces that would normally be a custom cabinet. Now you will be able to get this custom bespoke look without having to find a local woodshop to make your vanity.
Vanity & Co. was born out of necessity when Founder and Interior Designer, Katie Rosenfeld, renovated a dilapidated historic home and couldn’t find charming bathroom furniture. As a result, she chose to model her bathroom vanities after beloved pieces of furniture and vintage chests of drawers, rather than the ho-hum built in cabinets we have all grown accustomed to.
Each vanity comes as a freestanding piece of furniture, with all components ready for installation. Items not provided include: COC (customers own countertop), COF (customers own faucet), COS (customers own sink).
Stylistically, each vanity references a vintage or antique chest and are constructed of oak and maple wood with no-added formaldehyde. We offer three wood stains and one painted finish. Or you can choose your vanity to come primed for paint so that you can make it your very own.
“Consider these vanities and our iconic dressing table as heirloom pieces, no different from the ones found throughout a well collected home. Each one references the historical past, ensured to withstand the test of time and trends. A completely neutral color palette and the warmth of wood is the perfect complement,” says Katie.
Behind-the-scenes
We are documenting this journey from idea to production with Juharo Productions, the same company Katie used to document her own home renovation. The idea is to show you what it takes to get a new startup company off the ground. Spoiler it's not easy! From working out sample kits, to taking our first orders, figuring out logistics and how to scale the production side of Vanity & Co while maintaining the quality of craftsmanship that you have come to expect from both Katie and KCB, all of this will be documented.
We have already seen success in its early stages with a slew of vanities in production. Soon we expect to expand our size offerings and add new styles to the lineup. With the help of our team of experienced professionals, Katie and I are making sure that Vanity & Co provides customers with the perfect bath vanity you need for your home.
Currently, Vanity & Co. is available through architects and interior designers, but eventually we hope to have a direct-to-homeowner line as well. For more information, contact hello@vanityandco.com
