What is the history of bathroom vanities?

A: Bathroom vanity is a bathroom cabinet that encloses a basin and its water lines and drain, usually furnished with shelves and drawers underneath for storage of toiletries. Bathroom vanities play an important role in defining the character of different themed bathrooms, and as such come in a huge variety of styles and finishes.
The idea of bathroom vanities originally came from bedroom vanities that were used mainly by women to perform their daily beauty routines and keep their toiletries in.

Traditional bathroom vanities are the ones that resemble the first versions of bathroom vanities. They include a wooden cabinet with shelves and drawers, a marble or granite countertop, and porcelain, ceramic, or metallic sink. Fixtures, such as faucets, on traditional bathroom vanities are usually brushed brass and other antique looking materials.
Through many years, the style of bathroom vanities has emerged into simpler and more functional models such as contemporary bathroom vanities. They provide sleeker look, more storage space, and more modern style fixtures. Materials used for modern bathroom vanities have also changed. Cabinets are made out of wood, whereas sinks and countertops are made out of new materials. For instance, we now have tempered glass countertops and sinks, as well as the traditional marble, granite, and porcelain sinks and countertops. There are many more options and sizes than ever, featuring wall mounted bathroom vanities and bathroom vanity sets that consist of several pieces including the main cabinet as well as a side cabinet for maximum storage space.

Cream marfil is formed with a medium dense with pores.
b. Travertine also began as limestone, which over time, through geological shifting, has found its way deep in the earth. The porous nature of limestone makes it a small body of standing water called Aquifers. This is the water of ice age melting, which sank below and was absorbed by limestone. With the earth's inner core the water rises as steam and hot pressurized water that forms hot mud baths. This rising hot water, dissolves the limestone and brings with it a small particle from below, forming mud beds on the surface. If enough time come about the mud beds cool, they will crystallize into solid stone call travertine. As for travertine it is formed with a low dense with pores.
