Getting Girly: The Dressing Table
I always wanted a glamorous dressing area when I was a girl. I had great aspirations of brushing my hair 100 times per night like Marcia Brady in the Romeo and Juliet episode and trying to figure out how to put on eyeshadow. I still have never brushed my hair 100 times in a row or learned how to put on eyeshadow, and even though I don't care about doing either of those things, I could really go for a dressing table to call my own.
There is something about sitting down to get ready that makes it seem more glamorous. All you really need is some sort of surface for you makeup and hair implements, a mirror, some decent lighting and something to sit upon. That's it. Instant dressing table. Next time you are planning out your house, or if you have an extra nook or cranny outside of your bathroom, in your closet, in the bathroom, in your room, whatever, stake your claim on it and make it your dressing area.
