Who Said Vanity is a Bad Thing???


So, as a makeup lover and a girl, I have been dying for a vanity. A nice organized place where I can do my hair and makeup and feel comfortable. Last week I decided I was tired of sitting on the floor in front of my closet door/mirror, and I made the trip up to IKEA for a vanity.

Now, when you see the picture of this vanity it doesn't look too pretty, right? Well looks can be deceiving. This wonderful Malm Dressing Table is nice and big and comes with a huge drawer that fits all of my stuff nicely. When I put my candles, brush jar, and a few nail polishes on it I was very happy with how it looked.

Those of us who are familiar with IKEA, know that their furniture comes disassembled. Well, I was determined to put it together myself, and I did. In one hour. It was pretty easy and I am so infatuated with sitting there in front of my mirror staring at myself. Well, it is called a "vanity" right? So I guess I'm allowed to be vain while sitting at it.

As far as mirrors go, I found a great big mirror for just twenty dollars at Marshall's, and I also found a stand up mirror that has a magnifying side there as well. All that there is left to do is badger my father into putting up shelves all over the place to hold more candles and flowers and other assorted pretties, and of course, to badger my mother into helping me paint cherry blossom branches coming out of the corners of the walls. Maybe I should post a "How to badger your parents into doing things for you" blog. Look out for that one ha ha.
