secret of domestic bliss #25...a beautiful vanity is essential


Jackie Kennedy.
Oh how we all love and admire her.
Her sense of style has impacted us and to this day she is one of my favorite muses.
I just love her, don't you?
Here is her dressing room in the white house circa 1962.
So gorgeous + fabulous...I love the colors, the beautiful screen, her tufted chaise lounge with a leopard throw. Most of all I just can't get enough of the beautiful white vanity.


Sort of reminds me of my favorite room in the world...
and it seriously makes me want a vanity in my bedroom now. I don't officially have room, but that doesn't mean I can't dream of having one right?
and this one just pulls at my heart everytime. So gorgeous. love!

Dreamy!! I dream of a white or mirrored vanity too (my mother used to have one in her dressing room and I always though how glamorous it was).

I LOVE and COVET the mirrored one!!! I think I need to prioritize a search for similar... My grandmother had a vanity she'd painted shiny black and silver. On it she often had fresh flowers in a green vase, it was topped with a mirror, which with the black looked so glamourous to me. I can just picture her sitting at it sweeping her hair up into a french twist. what a nice memory.

All of these are so beautiful!! Great round-up, I LOVE your favorite room in the world. And I also love the vanity by Melissa Warner as well. I too don't have any room for one, but boy a girl can dream!

These are amazingly designed rooms and the vanities just add up to the overall stylish flavour. A vanity is really one of the best friends of a woman. This just gives her a place to be herself and to make that self be her best! Thank you for sharing this post. These pictures certainly serve as inspirations for many.

The key here is to be organized. You may have a few or many accessories but it will not appear cluttered with the right vanity cabinet to help you put things in order. Be the envy of your family and friends as they get to see your collections of clothes and other accessories without having to worry about the amount of time you have to spend for rearranging everything.
