This is my One Hundredth Post! In looking at my previous posts, one, entitled Divine Dressing Tables continues to get daily hits. With the belief that you would love to see more, I scoured the web for new images and information. As a token of appreciation to you for visiting my blog I am so excited to offer you an exclusive FREE giveaway valued at over $250! Read on for details. UPDATE: GIVEAWAY IS OVER.
One Hundredth Post
I love this painting entitled “Morning Toilette”.
The dressing table has been around for hundreds of years. In Egyptian tombs they have uncovered such tables, as well as the accessories that went with them. The Egyptians often wore wigs, makeup and scented themselves with fine oils. But it was not until the 1700’s that the vanity table truly reached it’s zenith in France. Beautiful tables, known as the poudreuse, from the French word for powder, were used by both men and women to apply their elaborate wigs, makeup, and jewelry. If you travel to Versailles you can see several items used by Marie Antoinette. Use of the dressing table spread to other countries by nobles wanting to be equal to or greater than France’s fair queen. Here is a painting aptly entitled “The Lady at her Dressing Table”.
The vanity table was also embraced by the new middle-class English Victorians who topped their tables with elaborate trays, jars, bottles, and brushes made from heavily cut crystal and silver. Originally sold as vanity sets, you can often find single pieces at flea markets and online auctions such as eBay.
In the 1930’s, many Hollywood films included scenes of beautiful, young starlets preparing for a glamorous evening of dinner and dancing. Here is the lovely Jean Harlow with her fabulously fringed vanity table.
Dressing Tables Today
Today, the dressing table has made a dazzling comeback. I am not sure what I love most about this image~ the wonderful striped wallpaper, fancy flokati bench or the marvelous mirrored table.
Photo by Grey Crawford
ย ย I love this built-in dressing area. Such luxury. A ghost chair by Philippe Starck is the perfect partner.
Does this image speak to you? I love this dressing table that was featured in Victoria with its wonderful white linen skirt topped by an antique tablecloth.
I adore the idea of this painted table. You can often find similar tables and with a bit of paint and decoupage, it becomes uniquely yours.
This is a beautiful image. You can recreate this image quite easily by purchasing fabric that you love and sewing up a skirt. You can find directions on Pinterest.

Ok now I’m leaving my choice of table. I had to selfishly comment to be the first one on your 100th post.I would choose a 38×22 or 40×24 table. I would choose some delicious designer fabric maybe a loose linen or chenille damask or a chocolate houndstooth and the piping…oh my way too many choices. I would place it in my daughter’s room. Every girl needs to have a place to go and feel special. Oh I hope I win, I never win anything. Good luck with all of your commentors. And thanks for such a fun post.Connie
Ha ha! The first comment on your 100th post!! I love these dressing tables! I really like the photo of Jean Harlow…so “old Hollywood!” Also, the painted table is so cute. I like how they used the toile from the wallpaper. Of course, the blue and white skirt is fantastic. I love that combo and always look forward to “Victoria's” annual blue & white issue.As for the table, I like the 30×18 size. I'd most likely do a full, billowy skirt (well, I'd have a seamstress do it!). I'm not sure of the color, though.Thanks for a great post!!
Congratulations for your 100 th post! I wish you 1000 more ! I Love your contest
Laura, I would love to win your dressing table give away! I love the image with the blue striped fabric. Please enter me in the drawing. Thank you for being so generous!
I love those tables! I especially like the striped wall paper with the round mirror one. ๐ And, this is a great give a way!! I have no idea what I would do to that table! I’d probably start with… I have no idea. Paint. Yup. Paint. ๐
I would choose the 36″ X 20″ table. I would decorate it with pink and white floral ticking fabric. I found some on ebay that I liked a lot. Thanks for the opportunity for the giveaway. Kathybigfamily8 (at) yahoo (dot) com
Congrats on your 100th post! I have a love for vanity tables and I enjoyed viewing all your photos of them…and the history. I won’t be entering your fab contest but I think it’s a great idea. Good luck to the lucky winner!!
Love the contest!!! Tried to post, not sure it worked. Trying again. 40×24 for sure. Taffeta striped fabric in my master bathroom. Great contest!!
Happy 100 posts! Those are some cool pics and some great ideas!!
I think I would choose the 36×20. I’m envisioning it in my redone room. When we redo our room it will be in blue and white with some yellows mixed in. I loved the flowy blue and white skirting around the vanity in that post. Something like that maybe. Though I could not be 100% until it was sitting in it’s spot speaking to me. LOL
I would choose the 36×20 because of where I would put it in my bedroom. I have a lovely stand up jewelry box and a full length mirror and I think I would try to find a way to group the three.I love dressing tables, I think they are so elegant and since we just moved I haven’t decorated my bedroom yet. I used to have a very ancient India inspired room and we are planning to get some new bedding in the colors of blue and brown. I want a very classic, possibly victorian or colonial feel in there. We just got a highboy dresser that we are going to repaint (it’s already been painted) to match the browns and creams in the room. A vanity table would go perfect.What a fun way to celebrate your hundreth post! I’m going to go link you from my blog right now!*hugs*
I linked to your contest on my blog because I must have one of those fabulous trays!
Wow! what a beautiful collection. I would love any one of the styles. ๐
Laura! How wonderful! Alas I must pass on this fantastic offer but will post on it on my blog and leave a link back to you. Sadly, I have no room for such a wonderful thing as my tiny cottage is quite full but I can’t wait to see who wins! Congrats on your 100th post! I love coming here to read up on decor. I find this a soothing place to settle with a wealth of information and ideas. Thanks!
Congrats on the 100th post dear!!I would love to have the 36″ x 20″and I would decorate it with the black toile skirt… and a beautiful old dresser mirror that was my grandmothers. And paint the top a luxurious white… and place all of my gorgeous prefume bottles on top!Thank you for the chance to dream!!I hope you have a wonderful day!!
Congratulations on your 100th post! This is a fantastic giveaway! I would choose the 40×24 size because I would want plenty of room for all my vanity needs! I love the skirted version and would love to do something like that. I am in the process of rethinking our master bedroom. I’m wanting to do shades of lavender with lots of silver. I also posted about and linked to the giveaway on my blog. Fun, fun, fun!
What a cool give-away! I would LOVE the 38×22 table (30 inches tall). I would paint the top white (or I might just have a mirrored top made for it…) and try my hand at making a skirt from fabric with 1-inch wide white and pink vertical stripes. It would go in the pink guest bedroom since that’s where I store all my clothes (our closes are tiny and I gave my husband the one in our bedroom).Here’s to your next 100 posts!
I stumbled across your blog from another blog and I immediately put it in my favorites. I enjoy the reading and all the good ideas you have. I am a single mother and grandmother who is trying to get back to my girly girl roots and you have many ideas I can incooperate into my home. When my daughters were little, some 30yrs ago, I had a dressing table of sorts and my daughters used to love to sit and pretend they were grownup. I would love to win this table and surprise my oldest daughter. She has done so many things for me over the years and this would be such a surprise for her. Not sure of the colors yet but I sew and do crafts so I am sure I could come up with something fantastic that would fit her. My size would be 36 x 20. Keep up the good work.
I would choose the 40X24 table. I would have it decorated in pink and white for my granddaughter. We were living together and I recently moved out. She is having a difficult time adjusting to not having me sleep with her in her room at night. I would give this to her and tell her that when she misses me she can just sit at the beautiful vanity table given to her by me with much, much love. She could have this a lifetime and know her grandmother gave it to her. I could never afford to buy her one but she would know this came from nothing but love. She is 7 years old and her name is Caitlyn. She is my joy. I call her my-love.
Congrats on your 100th post. I won’t enter the giveaway. I simply don’t have room for a vanity. But I adore that style. I see the old movies all the time and I look at the decor and wonder what happen to the old vanities no one has them. Ciao
Love your 100th post! I would pick the 36×20 table. It would be dressed by several of my favorite things! Beautiful black and white pics of my boys, a silver goblet with a fresh flower in it, a few crystal or sivler bees (for my name Betsy), and beautiful perfume bottles. I would use a large check of cream and a silver sage. Very billowy with a beautiful trim. Oh yeah, I would also have this new lamp I am dying for on it that has two love birds on the base.
I would choose the 36 x 20 table To go with my lovely new-to-me bedspread (http://eibisch.blogspot.com/2008/07/isnt-it-lov-er-ly.html), I would have to use a satin /chenille (either off white or delicate color) to cover/skirt. Above, on the wall, perhaps a slightly guilded mirror that i could drape with a lightwieght fabric.
Hi I would pick the 36 x 20 table. I am thinking of doing a bedroom makeover in blue and white toille. I would put a skirt around the table, hang a gorgeous mirror over it and accessorize the top in gorgeous antique dresser pretties.
30 x 18 Teen Vanity Dressing Table would be my choice simply because my room space is so petite. (Sounds better than ‘small’!)I would “dress” the dressing table in preferably a faded vintage skirting and paint the top cream.Finally, I’d scout consignment shops and thrift stores for an old mirror to hang above it.Amazing giveaway, by the way. :o)
Wow, what a great giveaway! I wish I had room for this in my bedroom but I don’t! I don’t even have enough room in my daughter’s room either! Oh well! Congrats on your 100th post and I can’t wait to see who wins!
Just wanted to let you know that I’ve added a link to your post on my sidebar! :o)
CONGRATS ON YOUR 100TH POST!!!and thank you soo very much for your comment on my chair project!
Fun fun!!! I like the teen size. I would use it for my daughter’s big girl room. I could make it so cute!
Wow Congratulations 100 Posts!And it is a great one! who can get enough of beautiful dressing tables.I am hoping to wine the 36 x 20 Vanity Dressing TableI have several thoughts on how I will adorn it. Im thinking option 1 is to use this beautiful pink silk with tiny pearls sewn on it that I saw. Or a beautiful lace with a solid color underneath it to highlight the lace and conceal the storage area. and of course a Venetian tri fold vanity mirror will be a must setting on top of it ๐so im keeping my toes crossed that I win!!!!!!!smiles,Sandy
Wow, what a generous giveaway! I would choose the 40X24 table. Wish me luck. ๐
30 x 18 Teen Vanity, My bedroom is a total Bombshell Bedroom (LOVE that pic!), so it would have to be decorated in satin, animal prints, and maribou! ๐— Sarah-Kate
WOW! This is an amazing giveaway, Laura! How great of you to arrange it and what a generous company.Of all the pictures you posted, I love the decoupaged one.I’m not entering the contest, I’m not a vanity gal.
Wow! What a great prize. Congrats on your 100th post by the way. ๐Just thinking about decorating that table is getting my creative juices flowing. Thinking something modern…I would choose the 36×20 size. I have a large sized room and have a corner that is under used. This would be perfect!
36 x 20 would be my choice…and I have a perfect place for it in my bedroom!!! Thank you so much for offering this giveaway…and I love your blog. I’m so glad I found it. Congrats on your 100th post!!
Oh boy…the 36×20 table would fit beautifully in a space by the door into my house! I’ve been wanting something more romantic looking than just a table…and what could be more beautiful than a stunningly decorated-with-fabric vanity table with an appropriate mirror above? I would use a fabric with roses, slightly covered with lace…and ribbon!! mmmmmm…I can see it now!!~Blessings,Jan
Oh my gosh, aren’t they all awesome? I would love to win the 36″x20″ vanity.I would paint it in mocha with aqua trim, and do striped or harlequin print fabric in the same colors. It would put it between my window (which is dressed in brown velvet) and my bed.Yummy! Hope I win. What fun your giveaway is!!SheilaWhen I was a young girl, I desperately wanted a dressing table. I had spotted a vintage one at an auction with my parents, and ooohh, how I wanted it. My parents couldn’t afford it, but my Father finally “caved” and built one himself. It was iffy at best, built with plywood and choppy dowels. BUT, it had a mirror and it was painted lavendar and white and I LOVED it.
40×24, definitely! I need a big surface for all my “stuff.” These look like a ton of fun; I always did love a “blank canvas” to decorate. I think I would do mine in mosaic; beautiful soft pastel colors of broken china with floral motifs and white grout. It would be a masterpiece that I could hand down to my sweet niece and would last for generations.What a generous give-away! Thanks for visiting my blog today. ๐
Thanks for the visit to my blog. This is such a wonderful contest. I would choose the 30X18 Teen Vanity. I’m thinking this would make the perfect graduation gift for my daughter. Hugs!
Congratulations on your 100th post. Much better than birthdays, aren’t they?The Texas Woman
AWESOME post and what a great prize!I had a wonderful vanity table and bench that I had finished myself. When we moved, we did it ourselves with a U HAUL, from UT to CO. Some things wouldn’t fit, and that was one of them… this would be awesome!
Congratulations on your “100th post” and how sweet it is of you to offer this giveaway.My daughter has always wanted a dressing table and I would love the chance to win one for her. I would choose either a 38×22 or 40×24 table for her and would want her to pick out the fabric herself for the skirt, which I would really be happy to make for her. Her bedroom is currently in chocolate brown with red and gold accents, but she is wanting to redecorate her room and keep the chocolate brown but add a tiffany blue accent.Thanks.Debbie V.jdvanderpool@comcast.net
Oh, I would choose the 30×18 because I’d decorate it for my daughters’ bedroom. I’d skirt it in a beautiful pink and white stripe and do the top in chocolate brown velvet with one of your beautiful trays in white. I’d decorate the tray with lots of pink vintage bottles full of my great aunt’s 40 year old buttons and milk glass tea cups. I’d attach my mom’s vintage dressing table mirror so the girls could use her silver-plated brush on their hair, maybe even doing the 100 strokes for shiny hair. Ahhhh. Sweet sigh of dreams.Happy 100th!
The 36 by 20 would be my choice and would decorate it with a victorian flair! Some lace would be nice.Thanks for telling me about this wonderful giveaway.
Oh those dressing tables are lovely. I have always wanted to have one. Sadly I don’t have any room for one. So if I win, I would be very excited to get your dressing tray. I love them! Then I would ask that you draw another name for a winner to the table. That way you would have two winners! Hugs,joanne
wow how preatty thay are and well i like the 40×24 its the bigest one and well you can never have to much room and well how i would like it is well like a pice that looked like it’s been a round but well still looks realy pretty and well where would i put it well i put it in my little girls room so she could have some thig realy nice so well please enter me in to your giveaway thanks
Okay, I think the 38 x 22 table would be perfect! I have some lovely cabana striped tan and white fabric that would make a great skirt. I recently bought an antique vanity that I refinished to use as a desk in my daughter’s room. It was so cute I was really tepted to keep it for myself!
I also am putting a link on my blog!!!
Love your blog! I’m going to have to spend some time reading! I would love to have the 36×20 dressing table and I would be using it my 10 year olds room so I would most likely let her pick a fabric to make a skirt for it and then put a glass top on it and let her put pictures of her friends etc. under the glass. She has a new bedroom that is still under construction so we will hopefully be decorating soon. She is saying lime green and hot pink!I’ll be putting a link to you on my blog today!Blessings, Jill
Oh, it would have to be the 38 X 22 size. Wow — what a tremendous giveaway!! Who wouldn’t want to win this? How lovely it would look with billowing cream-colored silky taffeta with cream edging and tassels!! Sounds so romantic. Please include me — thanks. Joanne ~~ glamourgirljoanne@yahoo.com
I’d have to go with the 30 x 18. I’d paint it and do a fabric skirt. Then my girls could fight over it. ๐ Congrats on your 100th post!
That 36″X20″ table would be lovely with tiered gingham cascading down to the floor – in my little girls room.I love the Jean Harlow photo too!and… even if you went with your own post for the day – happy blogathon ๐
I do not have a dressing table now but everytime I stay at a hotel I love being “spoiled” with a dressing table.I think the 30 by 18 would be nice. I’m not much of a crafty person and know nothing about fabric but I love deep chocolate browns and jacquard prints. My bedspread is brown and blue jacquard print. I like rope piping too. ๐
I love the 30×18 Teen vanity. I am in the midst of redoing my 8yo daugther’s bedroom. She wants a clothing designer type room but I wanted to include a vanity in the room as I have always LOVED vanities. I would use a toile fabric, more than likely. We are going with a powder blue and chocolate brown color scheme for the room.
I would choose the 30×18 for my little girl but we honestly have no room for this beautiful table. It’s been nice reading your post and getting to know you. Congrats on your 100th post and thanks for stopping by mine to comment. I hope you’ll be back again sometime soon.
I would go for a 36×20. I have a bright green bedroom so I would decorate it in shades of green so that I could use it as an accept piece in my bedroom, specially since other then a bed and a night table I have no furniture in my room. I’d love to win this, it’s such a fabulous prize!
What a great blog! I’m so glad you stopped by mine! I would choose the 38 x 22 size table. I’m a fan of “old Hollywood”, so my table would definitely have lots of pink, gold and leopard-print! That would be so much fun!
What a beautiful blog and a great giveaway! Whoever the winner is will be an extremely lucky one.I would choose the 38×22. It’s not too big and not too small. It would go in my newly decorated(because I would have to redo my bedroom for this great prize)bedroom. I’m very much into mid century modern and art deco so I would probably add some chrome or other shiny metal pieces. A raised up glass surface like the one in the Jean Harlow picture. I’d probably paint it in art deco colors, add some drawers with some art deco handles I’ve been dying to use.I’ve never had a vanity table before so this would be an awesome project. I’ll make sure I add a link to this too awesome contest on my site tomorrow.
I would probably choose the 40×24 table. I would probably cover it with a billowy skirt in a darker material. I really enjoyed this post, it is neat to see all the pretty dressing tables!mommyhoodisthankless{AT}gmail.com
I blogged about your giveaway: < HREF="http://mommyhoodisthankless.blogspot.com/2008/10/giveaways-1013.html" REL="nofollow">Here<>mommyhoodisthankless{AT}gmail.com
I would choose the 38×22 and it would be a gift for my daughter. I would put a slirt on this table most likely in a pink with black dots. The top would be painted a solid color and I would embellish it by painting on French words or phrases. Topped off with glass to protect it! She would be ecstatic about this and I think she would even keep her room clean for awhile, lol! After all, this would help in organization!
Congratulations on your 100th post and thanks for visiting me as well!As a decorator myself, I love the site you recommended and would choose the 36×20 or the 38×22. As a toile freak, I would drape it in that fabric and add the glass top and embed old photographs under the glass.Great site BTW!
A visit to your site is like a trip to the mueseum. Absolutely exquisite.Congrats on 100 posts!!Em
Congrats on your 100th post! What a cool giveaway, though I won’t be entering. Have no room.
I would choose a 36 x 20. I so do not know how I would decorate it though. HAPPY 100 posts!!
Congratulations! What a beautiful post it is! Absolutely gorgeous photos. I love the silk skirt; I drooled over similar silk curtains and gave up finally. Curtains are just too daunting of a task for me but I’m sure I could handle that skirt!I like the 30×18 size and I’d do it with a two toned silk in gold/cream I think. Our bedroom is oatmeal but for a few accents of color so whatever I chose, it would be understated elegance :^)Wonderful giveaway, my goodness! How nice it is that a SITStser is also celebrating her 100th post today! What a day in bloggy history!
oh, the 36×20 would be my choice. since our move i’m in a decorating dry spell. haven’t even hung anything on my walls. but i would probably choose some kind of asian inspired theme for the table.thanks for stopping by my blog – maybe i can end my dry spell by perusing your blog!
I wish I had room, but since I don’t I have to pass on your generous giveaway. ๐Don’t mention it to the mini-diva, she would be heartbroken that I didn’t try to win it for her then toss out her bed or something equally necessary. ๐Thanks so much for stopping by my blog, and especially congrats on your 100th post. I like everything I’ve seen so far on your blog. ๐
Hi there. You have a lovely blog here. Thanks for coming and saying hello!!!! And Happy Blogiversary!
oh my word! i would love the 38s22 table and i’m not sure how i would decorate it, but i’m sure it would include one of your gorgeous trays, and a vintage dressing set, lots of girlie pretties, and a gorgeous skirt ๐ congratulations on your 100th post! mine is coming up very soon, so stay tuned ๐
Oh my, oh my! I LOVE this post! I already have a vanity table, so I am not entering. BUT I adore your mirrors too and will wandering over to ETSY to scheck them out. This is brilliant!Thanks for the eye candy!โฅJenPS check out my new project, I’d love your input.http://www.behindtherefrigeratordoor.blogspot.com/
Oh, I think that I would like a 38×22″ table to go in my new guest room. My daugther is in college and we are tranforming her room into a guest room, with her okay of course, from a teen room into a brown and pink guest suite. What a great addition, coverd in a pink raw silk with some great beaded trim.
I’ll take a 25 inch tall one! I currently have my laptop on a couple of cardboard boxes, while the table I’m supposed to have my laptop on is covered by our perpetual chess game. I would put the chess game on this table, after I let my little sweeties decoupage it with me. I’m thinking massive numbers of flowers we cut out from magazines, plus pictures of flowers they draw themselves, covered with an easy-to-clean clear finish. Thanks for the invite! Any relation to THAT Laura???
I would have to say the 30×18 would be nice — such a wonderful givaway. thanks for sharing and happy 100th postMuch LoveAnissa
I would choose the 40 x 24…I have a huge room that it could fit in.As for decorating (I’d need some help first of all!)…I would go with browns, blues and pinks…not too girly but still feminine and fun. I would also get the glass to go on top and probably put some quotes and/or pictures between the vanity and the glass. And Congrats on your 100th post!
Most importantly, congratulations on your one hundredth post! Such a big milestone!I would love to win this for my niece. I would choose the 38×22 table. I have fabric in mind that she has had her eye on for quite a while. It would be the perfect present for the only girl in our family.I am going to post your giveaway in my “share” box on my sidebar!http://ldgermany.blogspot.com
Oh, the teen vanity dressing table would be so adorable in my daughter’s room! She’s such a girly -girl. Btw, congrats on your 100th post! Way to go!

Happy 100th post! Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment. Now I’m off to check out Ready to Cover!
I loved all the info on vanity tables… I love to learn random trivia about things and where they came from. I would chose the 40×24, and rihgt now I am really into distressed black furniture, so I would paintit black, disstress it, and then add some beautiful fabric. Oh, I hope I win!!
Hello Laura,I must say these dressing tables take me way back. This was the thing to have in your bedroom when I was a young girl.Not all my friends were lucky enough to have one but i did…Such fun to sit there and fix your hair and lipstick..Thanks for the memories.xoxo((((hugs))))Maggie
Wow!! Happy 100th post! GORGEOUS! The Victorian table would look best in my house, as it was built 107 years ago. ๐ Love it!Thanks for stopping by!

CHEERS!
I love to stop by your site and dream! That dressing table is so cool! I love the blue/white striped fabric in your photo. Happy 100th! ๐
Oooo what a fun blog!!! I will be back!Hmm..choices…I guess that I would pick the 30 x 18 Teen Vanity Dressing Table because I am living in a pretty small apartment and will be here for awhile as we finish school. What a way to dress our little place up! Hmm I would do something a little different and funky like polka dots (my husband will laugh at that one because he thinks that it is funny I love polka dots so much).BTW thank you for visiting my blog.
I would choose the 38×22 size. I would create a light, airy feel with tulle and light, beachy colors as that is how my room is decorated.Thanks!
Congrats of your 100th post!I’d pick the 36×20, I think: not too big, not too small. I would put it in my guest room with a yummy chocolate cover!
Congratulations on your 100th post!Thanks for this awesome giveaway! I would love the teen vanity table to paint for my little girl!
Hi, Laura, thanks for stopping by my white pumpkin post. I'm just now getting caught up from that & I wanted to come by and say hello. So nice to meet you & I don't think I've ever seen your blog before..how could that be? I'll add you to my bloglist & I would love it if you would add me to yours.I don't have room for a vanity, since I already have one, so no need to put me in the contest. I actually have an antique French-styled kidney shaped vanity in my bedroom. Come back & see me! Rhoda
38X22 here! I would totally use pink and brown (my new fav color combo!)
Wow – girl what a great giveaway! And congratulations on your 100th post. I thought offering the Marburger magazine was a good idea but this definitely beats it =) I’d love to be included. And I’ll send you an invite for the magazine. Blessings… Polly (p.s. I’d go with the teen size since I have a house full of kids. However, it would get my victorian decor – NOT sponge bob)
oh I would love the 30×18″ ! i would decopage it–probably with a vintage wallpaper base. Roses and a Parisian flair. yum…congratulations on your hundredth post!
What a generous giveaway-and different too! I would choose the 36 x 20 Vanity Dressing Table. I would dress it in a glass top and green and violet fabric which are the colors in my bathroom. Happy 100!
My mother in law would love your blog.Unfortunately she probably doesn’t know what a blog is.She just got a computer to keep up with out soldier while he is gone.Very beautiful pictures an info on the history of the dressing tables.Congratulations on your 100th post!!
Congrats on reaching 100! That’s a fun contest. I have so much furniture, though, I wouldn’t have a place for such a nice dressing table.Thanks for stopping by my site. Have a great day!
Oh thank you for posting on my blog. I am so excited to find you awesome blog….If I could have a choice, I think I would pick the 36x 20. I cannot wait to come back and take a long look and you blog….Congratatulations on you 100 the post..
oh wow! Thanks for commenting at my blog to tell me of your celegration! I would absolutely love to have the 38×22 table. Honestly I think I would put casters on it and use it for a craft table. I would definitely have to modge podge the top with a paper or maybe enven photo's. It would be fun to also paint in the colors of my DD's room – fairy tale pink & tinkerbell green. I just don't know!The possibilities are endless. Thanks! I will defnitely put a post on my blog about this! ๐
I would choose the 30×18 because it would be for my daughter. I recently saw how someone decoupaged fabric onto a piece of furniture. I would choose some pretty fabric, probably from Michael Miller, and adhere it to the vanity. What a great giveaway! Thank you!
Congratulations on your 100th post!I think that the 38 x 22 would fit perfect!and I would use scrapbooking paper to cover it and decopage it – I would use a matching/contrasting fabric and have my SIL make a skirt for it! thankshttp://yelowflowersgarden.blogspot.com/
Congratulations on your 100th post. I’m almost there.I also wanted to thank you for weighing in on my recent post. Everyone’s thoughts and opinions are very valuable to me.oxoxJennifer
Happy 100th post…thank you for visiting my blog!I would have to chose the 36 x 20 size. I would chose some delish fabrics and decorate this little beauty just for me. Having two daughters means most of my projects are for them…so this one would be MINE!Thank you for the chance to win!I will for sure link up your contest on my blog in a post tomorrow.
How beautiful. And the chance to make it elegant or funky is the best. I like the teen size 30 x 18 so if will fit in the special lil nook of its own. And to be at your 100th post. WHOOO-HOOOO That’s a SITSer for you! Thanks for being one saucy dame and making it easy for us to be saucy too!

Congrats on your 100th post!Thanks for stopping by my blog!
Congrats on your 100th post! I can’t wait to come back and check out more after my kids are in bed tonight. My husband works in painting and home remodeling and we have some interior designer friends. I love the dressing tables and know right where I would put mine…if I won, of course. =)
Congratulations on your 100th post!!I’d choose the 36X20 vanity table! My Grandmother has a beautiful vanity table that goes with the whole bedroom set, I am actually getting that soon, I think! I remember playing in front of that vanity set when I was a little girl, thinking I was such a movie star;) LOL
Wow, happy 100th post! Thx for stopping by to show some blog support.I think I would choose the 30×18 because I would want it for my daughter. I think we would love to decorate it together. We just got a new house that we move into next month and this would be perfect! She loves the color pink so would love for it to look like the painted one you provided a photo of.
Hi Laura ๐This is a fantastic giveaway!!Let’s see..I would choose the 30 x 18 Teen Vanity Dressing Table, because Annie needs one badly. Right now it’s all about polka dots for her, so I would cover it in a material with them. Then use different colored accessories to match the colors of the dots. I think it would be a really fun addition to her room and later when she grows out of the dots, I can change it ๐I loved the history of the dressing table. Gorgeous pics too!hugs,rue
Thanks for stopping by my post . . .can’t wait to read more of yours! The vanity history is fun – as is the giveaway!Happy 100th!!
What an amazing give-a-way. I’d choose the 38 x 22…I just re-did our master bedroom and I have the perfect spot for something that size. I’d get a really pretty brown toile and use it for the skirt…It would work great in that space…and I have the perfect mirror to put above it!Thanks for sponsoring such a wonderful prize!
Congratulations on your 100th post. What a wonderful giveaway….I wish I had room for one….but my house is overflowing right now…. ๐
What an amazing giveaway…I clicked over and to be completely honest…I like all the sizes. What a fun project it would be!I adore your blog!Happy 100th post!
Oh, my what an amazing giveaway! I’d love to link to it on my blog, too! I’d choose the 38 x22 one or the larger one, and I think I’d do a lovely designer fabric in something that my daughter would love (her room is cream, light turqoise with a few light orange accents) and oh the trim….the trim would be over the top for her!๐ and your mirrored tray would be the piece de resistance!!! Oui!thanks!suzanne
Congratulations on your 100th post! I’ve really enjoyed exploring your blog!I’d love to have the 40×24 table. We have a very country themed house, so I’d love to make a pretty patchwork skirt for it. Oh and something with eyelet lace. It could be so lovely!Thanks for the chance to win!
hi! those tables re so pretty and femine! I woud buy the 36 x 20 table and put some gorgeous toile in either choc/pink, or choc/teal…i would make it very girls and put it in my twin girlies room!! they absolutely love dressing up and make-up!!!
Thanks for visiting me today through SITS. Happy 100th posting! One of the first “girly” toys I bought for my only daughter was a Fisher Price vanity table. She loves it and sits at it often and combs her hair and just stares, so I would have to pick the 18×30 teen table in your fabulous give away. I’d probably decorate it in some sort of whimsical fabric with lots of pinks, or flowers. I just know she’d love it, and it’d be something she’d grow with years to come and we could change it together as she got older and developed her own tastes. ๐ What a fun give away!
Happy 100th post! I wish I had room for a dressing table, but we have such a small home (two bedrooms, one bath). They are beautiful and I especially like the pic you posted with the Starck chair…very sleek! Thanks for stopping by!
I would so love the 40×24 dressing table. We are building a house and it seems everything is cutting into my furniture budget! I really want to create a master bedroom that is a dream. I felt so inspired from your post and pictures. Every mommy should wake up and go to bed in a beautiful room.
Congratulations to your 100th post.
Thanks for stopping by and congrats on your post!
Oh my gosh! My grandma had a fringed dressing table and I used to love sitting at it. I have never seen another like it and some things you just sorta put out of your mind once that loved one passes on. As soon as I saw Jean Harlow’s table in your blog memories came rushing back to me. How I wish that table were still in the family. Congrats on your 100th post!
Very nice! I would choose the 36 x 20 or the 38 x 22. I love the blue and white striped picture and most likely would do something similar to that one ๐ It would look perfect in my room!Congrats on your 100th post and thank you for the giveaway!
Oh my stars, I have landed in heaven. Your site is GORGEOUS! I’m not entering the giveaway, simply because I don’t have the room for the vanity table, but I wanted to let you know how much I love your site. Thanks! ๐
Oh my, I can’t resist a good give away. I would choose the TEEN (30×18) dressing table for my little girl’s room. She would absolutely ADORE it. How would I finish it…I think it would serve as inspiration to redecorate her room in a more “big girl” fashion. I am thinking aqua and brown, damask, polka dots…I would have to search for the perfect fabric, and find a cute bench I could cover to match!
Congrats on your 100th post! Thanks for stopping by my blog! I LOVE YOUR BLOG! It’s beautiful–I’ll be back!
Wow! Those tables are gorgeous! And congrats on your 100th post. ๐
This is a really cute blog and I love all those pictures. I am sure I will be back. Thanks for visiting my blog.
Congrats on your 100th post…I have my giveway on Thursday! How fun…I love your blog! It is so nice…what a great “theme”!-Sandy Toes
Happy 100th post! What a great way to celebrate! Thanks for stopping by my blog and letting me know about all of the fun.I love the photo of Jean Harlow – so incredibly glamorous. And the built in made me *sigh* just beautiful.If I would be so lucky as to win, I would actually choose the “teen” size. The numbers are escaping me at the moment. My daughter will soon be moving in to her own room (she is only 1 but is a twin and shares with her brother at the moment). I would use this for her room, paint it and skirt it with tulle in a fun color so that it is fun for her and she can feel texture. She loves the tu-tu I made her and I think she would love this too! Thanks for a fun giveaway!
What beautiful tables. I think my fave is the built-in. Thanks for stopping by.
Congrats on your 100th post! That is a lot of work.. I know… I am almost to my 200th post… OMG… my next post will be my 200th… WOW… I have nothing planned… I guess I should do like you and do a giveaway… thanks for reminding moi! CONGRATS AGAIN!Fifi
What an awesome giveaway! I would love a 36 x 20 dressing table. I would have to consult with one of my friends who sews, but I would choose some sort of luscious fabric that would match my pale green, off white and light blue bedroom scheme. Thanks for inviting me to take part!
What a great giveaway! Thanks for coming over to my blog and letting me know about yours – how wonderful! I think the 36×20 size is perfect for our room. I don’t know what exactly I would cover it with, however it would be a fun project to plan and experiment with.Congrats on the 100th post!
oops forgot to write which one I’d like.38×22 the fabric I would like would be a rich mocha with lite turquoise. I would put it in my bedroom!!
I’m new to your blog, I would choose the 40×24. I have the perfect corner for it my bedroom. I am a single mom of three boys. I would love to have a little splash of girlie in my life. I would get some fabric with either pink and light green or lavender and light green. I think I would paint it light sea foam green and put lavender trim. I really liked the table with the striped wallpaper and the beautiful mirror.HAPPY 100th post, and also HAPPY SITS blog-a-thon day! I’m visiting from SITS and Georgia.Hugs, Amy ๐
Congrat’s on your 100th post! That is awesome as is your giveaway! I too love the picture of the striped wall paper with the round mirror!If I were to win I think that I would want the 38×22 size table or the next smaller one than this one. Thanks for sending me your way! Love the blog!Again…Congrat’s!
Well done on 100 posts. I was lucky enough to be given my Grandmother’s old vanity when my Aunt was sorting her house earlier this year and it has the most amazing veneer on it.Now I’m off to check out your etsy ๐
i would have to choose the 38 x 22.this is a great give away and how generous of the ready to cover website.i have been wanting to do a mosiac table for a while. i have collected a lot of broken china and old blue ridge pottery that i would cover the table in. i collect blue ridge so it would fit right in.thanks for this!
FINALLY made it here! I have always wanted one of these tables and have now passed that on to my duaghter. It was nice to meet you today!
You have the most elegant blog I have ever seen. You don’t happen to be related to Tim Gunn (Project Runway), are you?
Oh! I am so glad you commented on my blog! I LOVE your blog! And those trays! TO DIE FOR!!!I will have to leave a post on my blog!As for the vanity, The smalles (30×18) would be a GREAT birthday gift for my daughter! She would be in HEAVEN!!
Thanks for visiting and congratulations on your 100th post! The 40 X 24 would go perfectly in my little corner of our room. I always adored my grandmother’s dressing table (handmade by my grandfather) and was actually supposed to receive it upon her death. Unfortunately another relative snatched it up and SOLD IT! Anyway, I’m enjoying poking around your blog. Have a happy day!
Love the 40 x 24 Vanity Dressing Table! My parents have a built in dressing table in their bedroom. Growing up I always loved it & wanted one!
These are pretty cool..i hope i’ll win.
Congrats on your 100th post!!!! And thanks for coming by and showing some comment love.I remember this old wooden vanity with mirror that my Grandma had in her house. My Mom and all her sisters used it one by one. Then I got it. I remember it always being so cool to sit down and put my make up on in high school.I don’t have decorating in my blood, I usually rely on friends to help me through that. Or allow my daughter to do it. But if I had to choose one it would be the 30X18 teen vanity dressing table. I would so love for my daughter to be able to have one just like I did growing up. And I’m sure she would decorate it to the tee.
Hello! Thank you for your beautiful comments! Congratulations on your 100th post! I know that's a lot of time & love in those! Beautiful site. I am lucky to have found you! I will be back often! Thanks again!JudithParis Atelier!
What a generous giveaway! You sure know the right folks!I would choose the 30×18 inch table. We are preparing to make the spare room (aka storage heap) in our house a play room for our daughter and any new ones that may come along. This table would be a fun addition that would certainly grow with her.I would decorate the table to match the new decor–which I haven’t decided on yet! I have been thinking of using soothing blues and greens with white accents. I would probably paint it white and make a skirt which would, of course, coordinate with the drapes and pillows.Thanks for such an informative post, too!
Oh how fun! I love that these are all ready to go and you get to decorate it yourself. I would love to win the 30 x 18 Teen Vanity Dressing Table to put into my daughter’s room. I saw a gorgeous vanity table with pink fabric and shiny pink tulle around it and I’d LOVE to copy the idea. It’d be perfect in her room.. or maybe I’ll just make it match MY room and keep it for myself. It sure would be great to have a little place of my own since my hubby is a HUGE bathroom hog.miranda_e19[at]yahoo[dot]com
Such an awesome giveaway! I’ll definitely try to get back over to enter!
Congrats on your 100th! I love the idea of having a vanity table. My grandmother had a long table in her bathroom with a dainty little chair so that she could put on her makeup and such. I used to love to play in that and pretend I was getting dressed up to go somewhere. Anyhow, I don’t know where I would put it, but I would take the 36×20 and I really liked the bubbled material thing, but I don’t know what color I would go with. I guess it depends on were it would be!!
Thanks for your lovely comments on my blog. I would choose the 38 x 22 table. I love the Jean Harlow picture. I would put soft billowy white skirt with posible a mirror top. Then do tone on tone with taupe, cocoa, items. thanks for sharing this wonderful giveaway!
I would love the 36 x 20 table and I would use it in my bedroom. I would love to put some modern delicious fabric around it for a skirt and I’d use it as my little makeup/jewelry center. I can just envision it now. I would hang a funky mirror above it and it would be so much fun!Congrats on post #100!!doot65{at}comcast[dot]netElizabeth

Lovely blog! Thanks for commenting on my blog so that I could visit yours! I’d love to win the teen vanity for my DD! Pink, pink and more pink would be the color. As for fabric, It’s all new to me. I actually just learned to sew two weeks ago so I’m still trying to get a grip on fabrics. I’m sure I could figure it out though! ๐ I also linked ya on my blog!
Wow, Congrats on 100 posts. Thanks for your comment.
Congratulations on 100 posts! May you have many more successful posts in the future!I would love to enter your drawing. How sweet of you to offer such a lovely prize to blog readers. I would select the 40×24 table —- what memories this brings back of making a much smaller and plainer version for my room as a child. Mom and I used a wooden fruit crate and a board covered with contact paper for the top. It was so much fun that we made another for a needy little girls for Christmas one year. Dressing tables are awesome!LaTeaDah from Gracious Hospitality
Hi Laura, what a generous giveaway…I can’t win the table as I can’t afford the shipping but I would love to link you on my blog and take a chance at winning one of your lovely vanity trays.Is that ok?
Absolutely beautiful! Congrats on your 100th! I just passed my 200th.
100 posts… congrat’s!I would have to say the 30 x 18 fits me best just because I have a small room and the smaller one would go perfect.When I was a kid my parents bought a house and the entire estate of the house. I ended up with this beautiful old dressing table that was probably from the early 1900’s. I loved it! I have no clue where it has gone today.
Congrats dear!!!Every one should have a fabulous & galmorous dressing table…lovely indeed!
I am interested in the 38 X 22 model. I am happy to leave a link!
A big Congrats on 100!Everything is always so Gorgeous here!Sandra
OH, I had to go upstairs and measure and dream of just where such a wonderful table would go, so it would have to be the 36 x 20 table….now how to decorate it?? ummmmmm I have some damask in a oh so pale pink and off white stripe, yes thinking , I believe I would use that piece draped on it as a skirt, love that bustle effect
I’d like the 38 x 22. I have always been enamoured with vanities. I asked for one when I was 10, and my dad found my an old, beat up little vanity that I adored! I wish I had one now on which to display my perfumes bottles and such.
Thank you so much for stopping by and the invite!I love to have a dressing table! They are so feminine!yay! for your 100th!

Ohh that would be so fun to design! I would choose the 38 x 22 size and I would use vintage floral fabric and lace for the skirt maybe accented with some rhinstones and some other things. I would purchase the glass and put black an white photos of my fmily underneath and I would have to find a cute chair to match and paint in coordinating colors and with a tussie mussie on the back of it.

Your site is lovely..first time here.. we did a pirate party for our son one year…it was a lot of fun .cherry
Oh wow, what you do is so beautiful!I’m actually speechless right now!
Oh. . .how this would give me a slice of luxury. I’m the only woman in my home (a son and a husband) and would love to take a moment and enjoy my femininity at this table! I would chose 36×20 and I would find the perfect vintage fabric: maybe an old table cloth, curtain or even bed sheet that I would sew to fit. I’d keep all my makeup and hair necessities in mason jars, small tins and baskets. I would prop up a large barn board mirror that I’d make myself. It would go beside the window in my bedroom. To the left of the mirror I’d frame several vintage fashion and/or beauty ads in a single verticle line. On the right of the mirror I’d have all my chunky/beady necklaces hanging on pins in the wall Please pick me me me!!!– Vanessabtw. . .I found your blog via a comment you left on Meredith’s Merchant Ships. I’m enjoying it!
Pier one has a dressing table/desk that is so reminiscent of that 1930sglamour shot with Jean Harlow.http://wists.com/Theoccupant/ccabacc8912dcbb48f993f7ee78e8a33There’s a matching dresser too! All you would need is a big round bed on a pedestal and a furry round bedspread! LOL
The 40 x 24 size for me! What a lovely prize! ajcmeyer AT go DOT com
I would select the 40×24 table because it would have to hold all my things. I would paint and cover it in a Tiffany blue color and fabric with glass top. I’d probaby find a pretty vintage mirror to set on top. Thanks so much for stopping by and telling me about your contest. Hope you have a great day, Theresa
Super post. After years of furniture collecting, I don’t have an inch of space left for a vanity table but I adore them none the less! Congrats on number 100!Barbara
I would like the 38×22 and I have the perfect yummy vintage floral fabric that is just waiting to edge that dressing table! Very vintage but not too frou frou.Congrats on 100 posts!Michelle
Hi Laura,I absolutely love the picture of the Victoria Magazine Vanity table. Stunning.I would choose 40×24 and make it the most feminine dressing table ever!Thank you for allowing me to join your 100th Post Give-away.xo Cathy
Congrat’s on your 100th post! I love your website and your decorating style! Please include me in your beautiful giveaway. I would love to choose the 36×20 size vanity table for my master bedroom. I would decorate my vanity table in romantic victorian style!Donna Elaine
Happy 100th post! =)I have been looking for AGES to find a vanity/dressing table that I love – and have absolutely no luck!!!! However – these are wonderful!!!! I love the 36×22 table. My master bedroom is done in red/black/white with a heart/valentine “theme.” I think something simple yet romantic would be perfect – I’ll have to ask around for ideas! =)P.S. Thank you for commenting on my SITS blogathon post – you rock!
Your trays are absolutely beautiful. Congratulations on your 100th post!!! That is definitely a milestone and looking forward to many more to come.Karen
I would love to win the Teen Vanity Dressing Table for my daughter’s room. All of her bedding is handmade by either my aunt or my daughter, so they could easily make a table skirt for it to match her bedroom.
Oh wow! How generous, and those tables are awesome! I would choose the 38×22, probably, as I still live in a tiny apartment. But this would certainly make me feel like a queen! But this reminds me so much of the vanity I had in my childhood room. I called it the Princess Dresser and loved it soo much! I would go Shabby Chic with this, and use Blue, white and yellow as the main colors. I would, of course, have to incorporate daisies into the design, as I am obsessed! I might even decopage the top with love letters and old magazine ads and cover it with a glass top! Thanks for this giveaway. I’m going to link to you right now!
Thanks so much for the invite you sent me!I haven’t been to your site before but it’s GRAND!Congrats on your 100th post.I would love for you to enter me into your drawing…..I would be honored to win a 38×22.I live in Louisiana so the decorating possibilites are endless in the fabric arena……French motifs are huge here of course.Thanks again.Be blessed,Joyce M.
Hi Laura,Happy 100th! What a pretty blog I would chooseSKU VDTSB382230 base coat it, then cover it with all my delicious papers, seal it for long lasting protection and place it in my studio for my daughters to enjoy as an art table.Terri Conradhttp://www.terriconraddesigns.typepad.com
I had a dressing table as a teenager. The table was born out of necessity– not enough bathrooms in the house. Now I have plenty of bathrooms and I do miss the luxury of that little dressing table; putting on makeup and getting ready for a big date– seems like ages ago, and it was!
I belive I would like the smallest 30 x 18 table as I fancy I would decorate it and then sell it along with the dolls that I make or use it as a prop.I like the whiteness of the built-in table and the lushness of the table you presented that was in Victoria. I would combine the freshness of the white and the feminity of the Victorian. Perhaps some aged linens for the top and skirt with embroidered and ribbon flowers. Fowers would have stems of a muted green and fowers of either pink, peach, mauve, or lavender.Susan
100 posts?? Fantastic! CONGRATS!!What a giveaway.. to celebrate! Over the top cool give a way!
Congratulations on your 100th post! If I had to choose I think it would be the 38×22 but any of them would be absolutely fab! Skirted in toile would be amazing.
Happy 100 post! Very beautiful blog & fantastic contest!
What a wonderful thing to do for your 100th post. Congratulations to you!I love dressing tables, have since I was a little girl. The photo with Jean Harlow is wonderful, I adore all that fringe and the ottoman/chair too, it’s just so glamorous. I would choose the 36×30 size table and would cover it with Belgian lace, my grandmother’s hair gatherer (yes!), hairpin holder and my favorite photo of my daughter… and a few other items!Now, I do believe ~ I’d like to fringe everything in the house ๐Congrats again!~Tracie
Congrats on your 100th post!! What a fun way to celebrate with such an amazing giveaway.I’d go for the teen-sized table, which would be perfect for my daughter Lily’s room. She’d love it. It would have to be decorated with lots of pink and pale green to keep her happy.Thanks! -Julia ๐

I’d love to enter but alas, I think the shipping to Australia for a piece of furniture would send me broke – and hubby would go insane if another piece of furniture entered our cluttered home, lol! I love the various designs you’ve shared here and good luck to everyone who enters!Congrats on your 100th post!
Congratulations on your 100th post!La Donna
I just wanted to say thanks for stopping by! Congrats on your 100th post. I love reading about decor. I have added yours to my reader!
Yay Laura!!Congratulations on your 100th post!Thank you so much for this wonderful blog!This giveaway is amazing. If I win the table I would love the 30 X 18 size and it would go to my daughter Natalie, that would be my Christmas preset to her ๐I would love to decorate it using fabric and paint and I would make it look like a wonderland furniture full of little miniature details:)Love!Elsita ๐
Oh wow! Everything is so beautful!My daughters would love one of those vanities! I would love one in the size of the teen one and decorated in purples for my teen daughter that is going through a tough time. That would make her year. Purple is her favorite and everytime I create something with those colors she wants it. Right now she uses my grandmothers old dresser that is shabby white, petite and old. I love your blog! You have my taste all the way… Wishing you a wonderful weekend & Thank You for inviting me!
Thank you for visiting me to let me know about your blog and contest! I don’t need a dressing table…but what a beautiful giveaway. Congrats on your 100th post!
I found your blog by way of Bari J, and what a find! I just love your ideas and decorating. Those pumpkin topiary sculptures are amazing. And I love the vanity tables, too. I don’t have an actual table, but a shelf in my closet that I’ve decorated with little precious beauties. It’s a way to recharge myself to see those things, even if it’s just for a moment as I’m dressing.Thanks for sharing your ideas on your blog. Here’s to your next 100 posts.Kirie
Oh yes! Count me in- I think the 38″ x 22″ vanity table would be perfect! I’d like to make a skirt with some vintage toille fabric I have, and then make a topper in a contrasting color- I’m going to have to but that glass top!
CONGRATULATIONS! May your next 100 be as divine as the first!
thanks for inviting me to join…congrats on your 100th post…the 36″ would be fine for my needs…thank you for stopping by my blog…blessings, rebecca

I have been shopping around for the perfect vanity for months now, and this is a great way to create it yourself! I just received my first sewing machine, so I would love picking out some gorgeous antique lace and brown and cream fabric for the skirt. The 38 X 22 is my ideal size.Thanks!
Congrats!
Congrats on your 100th!Kelly
Congratulations on your 100th post! I would drape it in blue fabric, with lots of pleates ๐ A glass top, or maybe a mirrored top would be a must. Actually there are many many possiblities. Bonnie
Congratulations on reaching your 100th post! What a wonderful way to celebrate!I would love the 36 x 20 table, but not for myself since I have no place in my house to put it. I would decorate it in fun ‘teen’ or ‘tween’ colors and fabrics and donate it to my son’s school’s holiday fair for a raffle prize. Hopefully it would bring in lots of money for a really good cause. And what a fun project it would be!MGM
Wow! Fun tables. Thanks for the giveaway offer! I would have to pick the 40×24 since bigger’s always best, right? ๐Jenni B
Congratulations on your 100th post! This looks like a fabulous giveaway gift!
I would choose the 38×22 vanity table. I would decorate it with fabric that I’ve screen-printed myself. I also have lots of fun things sitting on my bathroom counter right now that would look nice on a vanity table. I have a mirrored box and a pretty jewelry hanger. Also your vintage vanity trays are beautiful. Congrats on your 100th post.
100 Posts! Congratulations :o)I pick the 36×20 dressing table, and would dress it in sage green and brown, to match my bedroom.Thanks for the giveaway!
Such a generous gift!!! I can’t imagine what 200 will be! Congratulations!!D.
What a great prize!I believe I would put the 38 x 22 size Vanity Dressing Table to the best use.I have some beautiful, vintage fabric that I received for my birthday several years ago and have never found quite the right project for. It would be fun to use it to skirt the table in.
What a fabulous idea! I would choose the 28×22 size and do mine in black and white with an art deco feel to match the rest of my room.
