I’ve dreamed of owning a real beauty vanity ever since I was a little girl and used to play at my grandmother’s vanity. She let me use her makeup and perfume and jewelry and I would sit for what probably was hours and play. When I was about five she gave me my very own vanity for Christmas. Plastic as it was with fake mirrors and all I love it and all these years later I still remember it like it was yesterday. So when One Kings Lane contacted me and asked me to put together my dream vanity built on one of their mirrors, I was in heaven!  Being the beauty and skincare junkie that I am and also working in the interior design field, this was a really fun thing to do!

Here are some of the things I’ve chosen from One Kings Lane and why I chose them. They have so many great mirrors to choose from that I had a hard time settling on one mirror!

Villa Mirror – I like the shape of this mirror and the fact that it’s not framed in a typical wooden or metal frame so it doesn’t compete with items on the vanity.
Alba X Leg Desk – no need to use a traditional vanity, use a desk instead! They have drawers and I like the clean simplistic lines of this one. The lacquered top makes it easy to clean off, too.
Beaumont Accent Lamp – A lamp softens the lighting (if you use the right bulbs) and this one has a marble base and a silk shade, which I love the combination of the rough marble and smooth silk.
Antique Tray – I like to keep assortments of my beauty products on trays. It helps to keep them organized while looking pretty.
Black Lacquer Box with Agate – I love collecting boxes as they can hold so many treasures. Put your favorite jewelry or other special things in there.
Flash Frame – Put a favorite photo in this lovely textured frame and it’s a sure way to make you smile. Who wouldn’t want to start the morning out that way! I like to mix metal tones of silver and gold – it adds more interest.
Seascape Candle – such a pretty jar this candle is in, it looks like a brooch. When it’s all burned out then use it as a makeup brush holder.
Marble tissue box – tissues are a must and with all these pretty things, you don’t want a basic cardboard box.
Dove Box – this would be great to put either cotton balls or Q-tips inside.
Lizzy Garden Stool – I love the pattern on this garden stool to sit on.
Add to these things some of my go-to beauty pieces and what a beautiful setting this would be!

Now I’m inspired! I don’t have the room for a separate vanity in my own home, but now I’m inspired to make my bathroom vanity/counter top look as pretty.  What would you do if you could create your own special vanity?
