MY DRESSING TABLE

My long wait of having a Dressing Table in my new house is now over. You may have read in previous posts about how I was searching for a dressing table. I purchased this from a Charity shop. It's a Stag Dressing Table and was a dark oak colour. My boyfriend sanded it down and painted it white and then gave it a distressed look so it didn't look perfect as I wanted it to look worn. I love how it has turned out. I can fit all my makeup in the drawers with the reminder in my spare room in my old Makeup Chest of Drawers.
I can now sit down and do my makeup making it a lot easier. I have two boxes in which I have more of my Fine Jewellery. I still have more jewellery to hang on my jewellery tree and necklaces to go else where. My hand for my rings is looking pretty full an doesn't even have that many rings on it.
I'm now on the look out for little cute vintage things to have on the table. I picked up the mirrored jewellery box from TK Maxx and added a picture of a Blossom Tree into it. I also got the white box from Next and added a picture of a Blossom tree in it to match. I brough a letter rack from TK Maxx at the weekend so I can put my palettes in it, keeping them neat and easy to reach. I'm going to purchase a Rose Garland to hang around the mirrors also.
