Vanity

Vanity, not as in beauty. I understand that people like to look at beautiful things. So presumably I shall greatly enjoy looking at the bathroom vanity; a thing of beauty. The vanity is to be mounted on the wall this very day. I hope that others will appreciate its beauty. I like the surface and its reflective sheen. For many months it sat quietly and secretly beneath its protective cover waiting to reveal its beauty. When I chose the finish in the showroom I was reluctant as to its colour appeal for others. The modern design and colour will dominate the vista when the twin doors open to the en suite. Will others see its beauty? Will they look away or past and not see its beauty? Its inner beauty, that which defines its purpose is revealed while fixtures and plumbing are secured behind two drawers that will be filled with an assortment of bathroom requisites. Matt finish, silver handles run the length of drawers that have remained shut since their creation. A crisp white ceramic basin completes its beauty. Bedside tables and chests of drawers laden with baskets meant for vanity storage will now cast aside their wares. Perhaps too, the bath's leak will ebb and it will earn its place alongside the beauty, the vanity.
