Dressing Table Dreams



Is there anything lovelier than a mirrored dressing table? I think here in the States we call them vanities, but a childhood spent with too many English novels means they will always be known to me as dressing tables. Regardless of moniker, every girl should have some form of one in her life - whether it's a simple, pretty tray of bottles atop a dresser, or a converted desk and mirror combination, we all need that little place to retreat to and meditate over our lipsticks and perfume. A place where we can be unabashedly feminine for a little bit, and add a little ritual into the day. A temple of pretty things and quietness in a loud and busy world - and no more sitting cross-legged in the sink to apply your mascara. What's your dream table? I'll take any and all of these beauties....

    1. I love it too - but I think I'm going to have to content myself with DIY silver-look furniture until I can afford the real thing:)

    1. Oh I don't know, that third one is so pretty and narrow - I bet you could squeeze it somewhere - maybe in the closet!

  4. These dressing-table owners always seem to have so few products! If I can ever streamline my collection to the point where I have 5 brushes...that'll be the day!

    1. That's what the drawers are for! They probably stash a huge mess of products out of sight, and leave only the pretty things out - that's what I do anyway:)

  5. I love mirrored dressing tables! Anything vintage is excellent, except the ones that have a big circular mirror and look quite boxy. I'm on the lookout for a dressing table. xx

    1. I don't like those big 60's style ones either. I have an antique little French desk with a mirror set over it, that's not a true vanity, but works very nicely for me - so keep your eyes out for pretty little desks too!

  6. These are all lovely pieces of woodwork. I love dressing tables made of oak wood. You should also give these a try.
