you're so vain

there are few features so feminine and frivolous as a well-outfitted vanity. whether in a bedroom, a bathroom, or even a closet, a little table space for a collection of perfume bottles and a bouquet of fresh blooms never goes unnoticed.

in the closet, a built-in vanity adds to the eye candy.

mirrored everything: a vanity is the perfect place for all-out hollywood glamour.

beadboard, cool art, pretty flowers: yes, yes, and yes.

a vanity with pretty hardware and a little tray to collect make-up keeps this monochromatic bathroom from appearing dull.

my personal favorite. i love, love, love the ruffled girlishness of this chair! here's a good look-a-like:

ballard designs upholstered swivel stool, from $199, in any of their fabrics (they have dozens of beautiful ones) or you can mail them your own and they'll upholster it for you! you can also get it monogrammed!

what do you think of these vanities? do you have one? want one? how could you not?!
