emilia's vanity chair.

My daughter wanted a dressing table like mom.  I was lucky enough to find this pictured one for very cheap at a yard sale.  I was then on the hunt for a vanity seat and found this dusty, unloved beauty at a summer estate sale.  I had fabric left over from making over the vanity stool in my dressing room.  My daughter picked out this sweet lavender shade of paint and we made her a coordinating dressing area in her room.  She is getting lots of use out of her new space "like mommy's."

Even after my hit and miss postings I still have readers! Ones who are requesting special topics at that. My dressing room has been under construction much of the summer and I am happy now to share pictures of the finished product. I am lucky to have this space in my home, but now it really suits me.  The lighter mint walls, freshly painted floor and better organized walls and spaces make the room more useful and pretty.  I have featured pictures of some of my favorite things: including  my vintage hand mirrors hung on the wall, a few of my glass Fenton shoes, artwork that has been gifted to me by friends and family members, my cameo collection and perfume bottle display.  I have also shared pictures of the more useful pieces: including my new handbag bar, shoe shelving and scarf bar. I love being a girl and think the space in which you work throughout the day should be inspiring.
