Dressing Tables

I've always loved the idea of having my very own dressing table. A small, intimate space to sit and  apply make-up, do my hair, paint my nails - you know, all the girly things we like to do! There's something so feminine and glamorous about a dressing / vanity table. It's a wonderful opportunity for creating a personal space with things that make you feel beautiful, sexy, and feminine. If you had the extra space (and you don't really need much), in your bedroom, bathroom or closet, what type of vanity / dressing table area would you dream up? Or do you already have something like this set up in your home? I'll have to wait until we get a bigger place...until then, I'm saving these images for inspiration!
{P.S. - Tonight I'll be attending a private cocktail party to celebrate the opening of Jonathan Adler and Elie Tahari's Fashion Island boutiques. I can hardly wait! Jonathan Adler is one of my favorite designers! I'll be reporting back with details soon!}

  1. I wish I had my own little glam spot like these - I need a bigger place. Actually my dream would be to one day turn as spare bedroom into a dressing room with my own vanity all endless storage for shoes, bags and clothes. Maybe painted a girly colour....and a chandelier....

  2. our new rental home has a little dressing room so I finally room for a dressing table, I love it! Only thing is the carpet is...let's say not to my taste! And I would love some girly wallpaper but that aside it's so nice to do my make up/hair on a chair and not getting cramp on the floor somewhere! Have fun tonight, jealous!

  3. While it's impossible in my current rental, I dream of having a glamorous dressing table (and a big walk in wardrobe) too. Either a white or mirrored table with a giant venetian glass mirror and lots of candles/soft lighting.
