How to have a Vanity table/area!

A simple vanity!

Ah, the glamorous lives of Hollywood movie stars and rich girls living in penthouses! They love their vanity tables! Huh, what's that? You wish you had a vanity table? And felt like them while doing your hair in the morning? It's actually not that hard to make one - or even fake one!

Find an area: 

• If you have a decent table in your room, great! You can even use a night table. I don't have a table in sight, so I use the top of my wardrobe. You a basically use anything that is high enough for you to use comfortably.
• The other was is to find a table-high cardboard box, which is strong enough to hold some objects, and paint it/ stick nice decorative paper over it to make it look pretty.
• The other thing you can do, is use a shelf - but again, make sure you can actually use it as a vanity and it's not too high/low.

Collect items: 

• Mirror: Find a mirror - the bigger the better - which can stand (has that thingy at the back which keeps it standing), or lean it against the wall, but make sure it doesn't fall (use items to keep it stable). Decorate it, if it isn't already, with paint - you can paint on small roses of your favorite colour, with gentle stems curling around the edge of the mirror. If your mirror doesn't have any edge, paint on the mirror itself, e.g. in the corners!
• Objects: Time to find any items you use regularly - and that look good! This is the classic list of basics:

          - Perfumes: One or two of your favourite perfumes will be handy and makes any vanity look nice!

          - Jewelry: Not too much, but a box of your favourite earrings, or a rind holder, is great!

          - Book: If you have enough space, a book you're in the middle of is right there when you need it.

          - Make-up: I don't wear much make-up, but my purple lipstick and peach blush are always there.

          - Hair Brush: Duh, where else are you gonna do your hair than in front of your mirror?

          - Vase with flower: Just a small flower will keep you room fresh and won't steel your oxygen!

          - Photo: An image that means the world to you!

          - Any other stuff you use to get ready in the morning - this is the place for it!

Use containers to organize your stuff! This will keep you organized and will make your vanity much      clearer and glamorous looking.

You can also make a themed vanity - if you're a nail designer, keep mainly your nail polishes and equipment here. Live for make-up? This is a great spot for your beauty box!

Essentials: 

• You'll need a chair to sit on to be comfortable while grooming yourself
• If your vanity is too high, I'm sorry, you're standing.
• Make sure your vanity is not overfilled with stuff - the point is to keep it organized and neat!
• Also, make sure it's safe - especially if your mirroris leant against the wall! If you use a large cardboard box, makesure your mirror is light enough (they sell mirrors on paper)
