Interiors: Cheery Pops of Aqua

Aqua blue is one of my very favorite colors and it's extremely versatile.  Helps brighten the day a bit, doesn't it?

Pretty Vanities in White

My personal vanity, or as some like to say, "dressing table" is a makeshift vintage sewing table and even though I rarely use it for getting ready in the morning, I still love the idea of it. These pretty, neutral vanities are bathed in light and offer a small refuge before beginning long days where personal time is, most likely, rare.

In case your curious to see what mine looks like, it's posted over here.  I've also posted on other vanities here.  What are your thoughts on vanities?

Mirror, mirror, on the wall

"Vanity", "dressing table", whichever you prefer, it's the place some (if not most) of us begin our days. For the new house, I bought a vintage sewing table which will serve as my new dressing table. It's small enough to save space, but big enough (hopefully) to accommodate my hair and makeup routine in the morning. It's girly, but not overly so, which is most important b/c I don't want to over-feminize a bedroom I share w/a male. The dressing table is all mine, though, and I'm happy with my find. Below are some examples of dressing tables I admire.

This is definitely a girly-girl dressing table, but it's romantic and kind of puts me in the mood to dress up.

I could never have this much white w/pets around, but I love the clean look of this space.

This is a warm, inviting space w/mementos and photos of family and friends.

Any space will work as long as your comfortable.

This shelf is actually a storage area and table in one. Pretty smart.This dressing table has its very own nook.

There's nothing wrong w/a designated space to "freshen up." Besides, aren't we all supposed to be the fairest?
