it doesn’t have to be like this
(not that i don’t adore it cause i do)!
what’s your style? i’m still asking for your best shot. of your vanity that is. hi everybody! my day was spent with a mechanic so i’m stopping in for a creative fix and inspiration from friends.
as you know my girl bonnie has been doing a bit of r n d for the vanity project. these are some great photos she came up with today. she’s really incredible. please forgive me for not linking them individually yet but i will. i see that this is a project that if i don’t stay on will get out of hand quick! anyway her list is at the bottom of the post.
flickr is full of eye candy so of course i got lost too. thanks again bonnie! now my dearest blog friends old buddies old pals? how about yours? if you send one in i’ll send you a surprise package!

morning guys~yes sande, i’m reading 3 books and they did the trick. i overslept this am!
i know what you mean, i need to carve out a niche too, funny how we bloggers are decor lovers and we’re the ones without the vanities. typical. anyway i know there are a lot more important things to think about these days so i’ll back off and get back to work on the mountain on my desk. have a wonderful friday!

Terrific post. I love the onblonde photo. Simple, yet elegant. The photo of the vintage Chanel bottle with a simple flower is lovely.
I found a flickr photo that I adored & had to pass on;
Have a beautiful weekend my dear♥

Hi Claudia, Thank you so much for showcasing my perfume photos! What an honor to be amongst all of these pretty vanity items. You’ve been my number one go-to girl for eye-candy and glamour decor for many, many years. Thanks for being such a beautiful inspiration to me :)

I’m not moving for another month and a half, so I don’t have my dressing room set up. I’m still hunting for furniture for it actually.
Here is a shot of my dresser currently though (and one of my fragrance collection which resides in the bathroom right now)
I’m afraid right now, it’s not as glamorous as the others, but I’m working on it. Once I move and get the dressing room set up, I will be sure to post about it.

Love the “Barbie” vanity…too cute…it makes me remember my Barbie Doll Days. I’ve always had a vanity and can’t imagine not having such a daily pleasure in my routine of taking care of “me”. My current vanity, my Dad found it at the “boutique” and I’ve had it for over 20 years. I almost got rid of it when we moved recently but the new and “improved” vanity didn’t fit…think my dad was telling me something…karma…he passed over four ago. You can see it in my blog post here…I’m thinking about painting it pink and have new fabrics for the skirt already. I’m a little behind on my blogging because my son just got married…but now that things have settled down a bit…it’s one of my summer to do’s. Hope you enjoy, fondly, Roberta
