Frequently Asked Questions

What is the largest Breckenridge vanity?

An eighty four inch double, which is close to the widest a single piece of bathroom furniture goes before a wall is handled as two separate vanities. At that width the two basins sit well apart with counter at both ends and a genuine span between them, and the wall run and the route into the room both need measuring first.

What is the smallest size in the series?

Thirty inches. That is a single basin width, and it is the size that fits a guest bathroom or a powder room where the vanity has to sit inside a short wall between a door and a corner. The series carrying both thirty and eighty four is what lets one style run through a whole house.

Is Whitewashed Oak the same as Bright White?

No, and the difference is whether the wood shows. Whitewashed Oak is a transparent pale finish over ash, so the grain reads through it and the piece still looks like wood. Bright White covers, so the cabinet reads as painted furniture and the grain appears only as texture under the light.

What is Smokey Celadon?

A muted gray green. Celadon is an old name for a pale green glaze, and the tone here is held well down in saturation. In most bathroom light it reads close to a warm gray, and the green only becomes obvious where it meets white, which is how a color of that weight is meant to behave on a large piece.

Why does this series use ash rather than poplar?

Because of the finishes. Ash has an open pronounced grain, and the pale transparent finishes that lead this series depend on that grain being visible. A closer grained wood under the same finish comes out looking like flat paint, so the wood and the color list were chosen as a pair rather than independently. Poplar still appears in the series, mostly under the finishes that cover rather than reveal.

Pale wood on one side, color on the other

Whitewashed Oak and Light Natural Oak lead the color list, with Serenity Blue, Smokey Celadon and Bright White close behind.

The two pale oak tones let the grain show and keep the piece reading as wood. Serenity Blue and Smokey Celadon are muted colors that cover it. Bright White sits between the two habits, since a white cabinet reads as painted furniture whatever is underneath.

The size ladder runs further than most

Sixty inches leads, then seventy two, forty eight, thirty six and thirty, with an eighty four inch double at the top.

Thirty to eighty four is an unusually long range for one series. It means the same door style and the same color list can run through a small guest bathroom and a wide primary vanity wall without the two rooms looking unrelated, which is the practical reason a series is built this way.

What eighty four inches is for

An eighty four inch double is close to the widest a single piece of bathroom furniture goes before the wall is handled as two vanities instead.

At that width two basins sit well apart and there is counter at both ends and a real span in the middle. It is the size that solves a wide primary bathroom wall in one object, and it needs a delivery path and a wall run measured before anything else.

Ash and poplar in the same series

Ash is the leading wood here, with yellow poplar and poplar behind it.

Ash has a stronger open grain than poplar, which is what makes the whitewashed and light natural finishes work: a transparent pale finish over ash shows the figure clearly, and the same finish over a closer grained wood would come out looking like flat paint.

Muted color instead of a statement

Serenity Blue and Smokey Celadon are both low saturation colors, a soft blue and a gray green.

Color at that level behaves differently from a saturated one. It reads as a neutral in most light and only shows as a color against white, which is why muted tones are the ones that appear on a large piece of furniture somebody expects to live with for years.

Sixty inches is where the choices are

Sixty is the leading width in the series and the one that appears in the most versions, single basin and double basin alike.

It is the width most primary bathrooms are built around, wide enough to carry two bowls and narrow enough to fit a wall that also has a door and a shower on it. A series builds out its widest selection at the size the most rooms ask for, and the sizes on either side of it exist to solve the rooms that do not measure out that way. Seventy two is the next step up and forty eight the next step down.

Where Breckenridge sits in the brand

James Martin holds the full brand, single vanities and double vanities split it by basin count.

Vanity tops covers the surfaces and bathroom mirrors the piece that goes above one.
