vanity project
Stone Forest of Santa Fe, N.M., is known for sculptural architectural elements that integrate such exotic materials as travertine, basalt, and onyx. Its latest creation is a bath vanity with a stainless steel base that can accommodate stone tops. The model shown here measures 24 inches wide and has a solid Carrara marble top. It's also available in a 31.5-inch version and can be speced with a honed basalt or honed black granite top.

aura of quality
Benjamin Moore says Aura is the best paint it's ever developed. At more than $50 a gallon, the price reflects that claim. Made from specialized resins, the eco-friendly product creates washable and water-resistant surfaces and is designed to spread smoothly, without spattering. It's available in all of the company's 3,300 colors.

dutch treat
This modular door began as a winning entry in a student design competition sponsored by JELD-WEN and is now available as a custom-order item. Conceived by Virginia Tech architectural student Nathan Williams, the door is a riff on the traditional Dutch door: instead of opening as two halves, it incorporates six individual hinged wood-and-glass panels that open separately. The design can be manufactured in a variety of species.
