Whether left in their original state or completely revamped, a vintage dressing table or vanity is a great way to add a touch of Hollywood glamour or old fashioned charm to the most personal space in your home - your bedroom. Just like any other piece of furniture, these unique pieces can be modernized and personalized by being refinished, painted, decoupaged, or simply stenciled. Check them out!

Wonderful use of color: the red accentuates the unique shape of this vanity.

ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting!
DeleteLove the very first one in red. I inherited a secretary and can't wait to mimic it! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThe red one is my favorite.
DeleteWonderfully glamorous! So many different types too, I would find it hard to choose just one from that lovely selection.

i've always loved vanity tables...the one i had as a teenager had the huge round mirror, though not as large as the one in your picture. i'm more likely to choose a triple mirror style now and update the finish. fun post!
ReplyDeleteVanities are so fabulous. It's a shame they're not really used much anymore; I'd love to have one! And it would free up a lot of bathroom space for my husband. :-)
ReplyDeleteLOVE all of these...especially that pink one! Orangies Attic

ReplyDeletethe pink one looks exactly like the one my aunt and mother had. I never understood why they had those dropped center shelves however, always seemed impractical.
