The search for my sanity begins... I mean VANITY!


Where do you do your makeup? bathroom, bedroom, living room or car maybe? lol I usually do my makeup sitting on the living room sofa. I don't know why.. I have been doing it as a young teenager and it just stuck. I grab my (current leopard print) makeup bag sit down and start applying all whilst looking into a small round compact mirror. A few posts back VainGlorySinner asked: "Could we please have a sneak peek of you vanity area.. I love to see where other women do their magic!"

Now I sort of have a little vanity area going on in my bedroom. I found a cute
50s-6os blue dresser in the free ads on craigslist and picked it up asap. I put a vintage oval mirror in front of it and have my jewelry and other stuff I love on the top. But it is not where I apply my makeup. The set up is just not practical.. *neither is the couch really*. Now I could go into the bathroom but whats so exciting about that. The bathroom in my house does not even have a window! I have always admired vanity's when I came across them.. but always thought (Maybe one day) well heck.. I don't really wanna wait much longer. No more one day... sometime soon sounds better to me. The trouble is I a not bursting with free space by any means.. The blue dresser will have to be stored and most likely the hamper next to it. But WHO CARES... If I could have a glorious vanity would it not be worth it??

I have only seen a few of the people I follows vanity's and all of them were very cute and I swear I was envious because my vanity is a suede looking sofa! *haha* So I am gonna start uhhh.. organizing and moving things around.. and then scouring classified ads until I find what I am looking for. I did see a gorgeous one a month ago for a very decent price. (Too bad I was in the "Sometime in the future" state of mind and passed it up.)


I am not 100% sure on what I want and there is so many styles and colors to choose from.

But if you wanted to know.. The ones that always catch my eye are the waterfall vanity's with the round mirror. I have not a clue why they impress me above most others but they do!


Now these can go for quite high but sometimes you can also snatch one up for $75 - $100 and that is what I hope to do. Because I admit it but I really LOVE to find stuff I want for a good deal. I can't say I am a cheap skate cause if I was I would not garage sale almost every Saturday. (Not this week though.. this week I am holding a sale of my own.) "So anyone who has a vanity to sell in my area.. PLEASE HAVE YOUR SALE ON THE 13 instead of the 6th cause I will be busy that day and do not want to miss out."


Pictures above: Are all vanity's that are listed for sale in Canada British Columbia



Who reading this has a vanity? If you do what type is yours and do you use it alot or does it just act as another dresser? Does it make you feel fabulous? *lol*


Those that don't have one.. Do you want one like I do? Or is it something you don't think you need?


Lastly while lusting over vanity's this afternoon I came across this beauty below. My FREAKING gosh is it gorgeous had this not been posted over a year ago and had been in my area I would have it in my room RIGHT NOW! It SURELY would be my dream vanity. I mean it's green!! Can't get any better than that!
