is not admiration of the old,
but of the natural."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is nothing more elegant, more romantic, or more feminine than a dressing table. Be it old or new a beautiful dressing table adds instant glamour to a room. I have had a few over the years! My very first was a little painted cottage style vanity with spindly legs. I was so excited the day I brought it home! I definitely felt like a princess. My style has evolved naturally over the years but I have always, always had a vanity in my room. They are irresistible to me! That fact might be why I was helpless when I came across this stunning vintage French vanity during my antiquing travels. I couldn't leave it behind! It was white and I added a light stain to it so that it would match my ivory coloured furniture and also a touch of gold to the beautiful carvings. I am so happy with it! Most of my decor accents are vintage but my jewelry box is by Wolf Designs and the pretty powder puff box is from Paul and Joe.
Such a pretty dressing table! The ivory color with a touch of gold is an exquisite touch to the vanity. Your jewelry box is lovely and that precious powder puff box looks fir for a princess.
ReplyDeleteI forgot to mention how much I liked the Ralph Waldo Emerson quote, he could put his thoughtful truths into words and make them seem like a song.
ReplyDeleteHow elegant and pretty.
