My Vanity Area
Today has been an organising day, I have sorted through my clothes and other belongings. I finally got my mirror from Ikea yesterday and was able to complete the finishing touches of my vanity area. For your info: The desk and mirror are from the MALM range at Ikea. Desk approx £80 and mirror approx £50.
I will show you how mine is set up in detail.
My make up is stored in the lovely floral drawer box from the Laura Ashley range at WHSmith, as previously mentioned in an older blog post.
It actually has four compartments, which is very handy.
I don't like having clutter on display, I would much rather store them in pretty boxes. This box set of 5 was £14.99 from TK Maxx.
All I'm missing is a chair! Any ideas on where I can find one that suits this area? Thanks. Hope I have given you all some ideas. X

This birdcage tea light holder is one of my favourite items, I got it ages ago from Laura Ashley. Everytime I look at it, it makes me smile. :)
Oooo my dainty perfume ornament.. I got it because it was pretty, I don't intend to put anything in it. A cute picture frame adds a personalised touch. These are both from TK Maxx.
My Revlon mirror from Boots, it has 3 different light settings and the other side of the mirror is 5x magnified. Approx £40. Very good for plucking eyebrows and applying makeup in areas of bad lighting.
This is how I'm storing my palettes, it's actually a letter holder, how cool of an idea is that? It also holds my trusty Fix+!
This is how I'm storing my brushes: The floral one is for my eye brushes, (from a box set, mentioned at the end). The pink one is a Jemma Kidd brush holder from Boots.
It actually has four compartments, which is very handy.
The drawer includes most of my jewellery.. as mentioned in a previous blog post.

the one thing i knew i wanted was an ottoman chair...the kind that can just be pushed right under the table...although, i don't know if that would be high enough with yours? i suppose there are different sized ones...
Big fan of your blog-you are beautiful! Rachx x
I bought a chair from Ikea of the same wood - It isnt very glam but it does the trick. It also has a cusion on it to go with the upholstery of our bedroom.
I've just started blogging and i love your blog! You are very beautiful - Already I have learned some tips from you!

and i got the chair cushionin ikea too which goes with our room colour scheme. I think they do this chair in a brown wood too.
Good Luck! Thanks for the advice on the mirror.
You've inspired me to post a couple of pics of my dressing room though (and to tidy it up!!)
