We gave two furniture designers with different personal styles one day to transform the same mass-market vanity from The Home Depot, turning a basic table and mirror into something way more personalized and expressive. Designer Leonard Bessemer describes his style as sculptural and irreverent while Alex Hsu calls his work thoughtful and colorful - but whose upscaled vanity would fit most comfortably in your home?
