The dressing table, of course.
Picture yourself, Hollywood style, sitting in your satin dressing gown, silver hairbrush and mirror set before you, combing through your curls before a night on the town with the most handsome and debonair man in town!

EEEK.....reality check!!!
I don't know about you, but the only thing I have in common with the women of Jean Harlow's day is maybe red fingernail polish!
But I do love the idea of the dressing table.....a completely personal space.....not a sharing space with the rest of the family....a spot where we can direct all our attention on ourselves! Novel thought!
I don't know about you, but I have a dressing table that I don't use. I'm a "stand-up-at-the-bathroom-sink" kind of girl, although, after seeing the pictures for this post, I might just change my mind. I think I may have to go girly!

So, can you get your "girl" on???
Like the idea and look! It would require sitting down for a few minutes though, standing is much faster!! :) Janell
ReplyDeleteHow I wish I had the space in my bathroom for an area like this. I do have room in our master bedroom but always wonder if it's practical if there isn't water nearby-I constantly have mascara malfunctions that need water!
ReplyDeleteLove the glamour of the third image...wonderful!!
ReplyDeleteOh how I wish I had a little space that was all about glam and all about me. Not only do we not have the space for it but I doubt I keep my daughter away from it!
ReplyDeleteI have always loved this idea, but never have had the space to have one. Loved the image of the huge round mirror, that is a great idea, Kathysue
ReplyDeleteI love a glam dressing table. I have an antique kidney shaped desk for my dressing table in front of a huge antique Louis French mirror. It's just so comfortable sitting there that it's often a problem getting out the door on time. Love, love the antique mirror on the table in the image from Architect Design Blog. Great post. Mona
ReplyDeleteI saw your blog and wanted to let you know I have forwarded it to my wife. She is an accountant and has a client her who is an older, struggling interior designer who has not yet embraced on line marketing. I have given her your blog address and FB site to look at for inspiration.
ReplyDeleteI love the idea
ReplyDeletein theory, but I'm
afraid that I'd make
too big a mess!! You
know, powder all over
the place. But these
pics are very, very
tempting....
VERY!
