I'm So Vain...

Vanities.  A place to get ready in the morning.   To put on your face, fix your hair, and make all those finishing touches just right.  Where do you get ready in the morning?  I'm willing to bet that most people get ready standing in front of their bathroom mirror, probably in a hurry, and probably often dodging around other people in their attempts to get ready.  Wouldn't it be nice to have a place of your very own to sit and get ready in the morning, or for a fun night out?

My mom has a free-standing vanity/makeup table in her bedroom that I just adore.  It allows her to get ready sitting down, with a spot for her cup of coffee, places to hold her makeup, and drawers for all her other beauty needs.  I am so jealous as I have to stand in front of my bathroom counter, on the cold tile floors.  Check out these vanities, definitely making me dream harder for a little space like that to call my own.

A little space in the bathroom between the sinks, but with a chair for your use.  I love the peonies for a special pop of color.  Actually... I love this whole bathroom.

I love how this person layered some special family photos under a glass top on her vanity.  How special to be able to look down at your loved ones while you get ready.  There are so many personal touches on this vanity, from the pictures to the wheels to the flowers...it is just perfect.  Couldn't imagine a better place to enjoy your morning coffee.

Again, a little spot tucked away in the bathroom.  This area makes great use of a somewhat awkward setup, and allows the lady of the house to get ready in leisure.

What about you...where do you get ready in the morning?

Two More Headboards...

I have two more headboards that I'm just dying to share with y'all.  They are upholstered, which I totally love, and I think they both look completely fabulous.  Do you agree?

Love the simple grey stripe around the headboard...it adds a subtle, classy effect.  And I adore that starburst mirror over the headboard.  Perfection.

I really love this headboard in contrast with the wall paper.  It is elegant, and makes the room feel very special.

Bedrooms Galore

Its no secret I love interior design.  I can spend hours looking through images online, saving images I like, and simply staring at certain beautifully designed rooms.  I have a huge collection of images saved onto my computer, images that I hope will be inspiration to me in the future.  Currently, I've been going over images of bedrooms like crazy.  Perhaps with spring in the air, I'm ready for some spring cleaning, and would love to make a change in my own bedroom.

Headboards have been my recent crazy lately, because they can really add such a change to your bedroom.   Of course, headboards range in price from fairly inexpensive to mega bucks, but they really can be a quick change to your room, offering that fix you have been looking for.  Check out some of these beautiful headboards.

Wall decals!  These can be fairly inexpensive, and can super quick change if desired!  With so many different decals out right now, I'm sure you could find something that suits your desire.  I love the flowers with the color scheme in this room.  It adds a pop of fun while adding some definite visual interest.

I'm not one to shy away from traditional wooden headboards that are part of a bedding set.  I think they look elegant and beautiful.  This room adds a fun pop above the headboard with the moose head.  Don't be afraid to add an unexpected element of fun into the bedroom.

I honestly love everything about this room, but the grandness of the bed is just stunning.  It truly is beautiful.  The simple bedding perfectly arranged adds to the beauty.  I wish I could have a bed like this.

Get creative.  Distressed old doors make a perfect headboard in this room.  Find objects that you can restore.  Repaint them, or leaving them in their original state, can really add some elements of interest into your room.

This headboard was done by framing squares of fabric into simple frames.  The look is fun and cheerful, and would be very easy to change!

I LOVE the pop of color added by this headboard.  Don't be afraid to experiment with colors and textures. It can make all the difference in the world when you're trying to design your perfect space.

Again, a pop of green in an otherwise black and white room adds visual interest and some warmth with the color.

A large headboard for an obviously large room.  It is important to pay attention to scale when choosing a headboard, making sure it looks proportionate to the other furniture that will be in the room.

I love this headboard.  It is simple, but makes a statement.  Those gray pillows have me drooling as well.

This headboard extends vertically way beyond the edges of the bed.  I like it.

Does that not just look peaceful and relaxing?  Definitely a place where you could get a good nights sleep!

Beautiful Bedrooms

Do you like your bedroom?  I think bedrooms are an awesome place to decorate, but so many people overlook this space because it is usually not a space for "company."  Parents particularly seem to forget about decorating their bedroom, focusing instead on their children's bedrooms and the other common spaces in the house.  However, your bedroom should be a luxurious place where you can relax and rest, no matter how big or small the room may be.  Check out some of these beautiful bedrooms.

This space looks elegant and luxurious, with clean decorations and everything in its place.  It is welcoming and warm, and would be a nice place to relax.  I love that mirror over the bed.

Hello pretty.  I love the grey and white pattern on the fireplace, and that huge picture of the flowers really makes a statement on the dark walls.  In a room this large, the dark walls really work, and aren't overwhelming at all.

This bedroom is so bright and cheery, it would make it difficult to wake up on the wrong side of the bed.  :)  I love the framed picture being stool on an easel instead of on the wall, because this is cute and makes it look original.

Bold Patterns: In the Bathroom

I'm having a design crush on two bathrooms right now.  Yes..two bathrooms.  They are fun, dramatic, and daring.  Certainly not afraid to play with patterns or color.

Now you're curious right?

I love the funky retro pink wallpaper!  How fun!

I love the contrast from the dark wallpaper to the coral vanity.  And it looks like front door knockers are being used as handles...how cute is that?!

Walk-In Luxury

How many of you out there dream of a perfectly organized, beautiful, large walk-in closet?  I know that I certainly do.  I don't have a tiny closet by any means, but it seems that there is never enough room to store all of my clothes, shoes, and accessories.  I feel like I am always out of room, and that I just continue to stuff, stuff, stuff until I can't even see everything I own.  Not efficient.

Check out some of these beautiful closets.  Warning: they will make you jealous.

The bright color makes the space fun, and it would be a great place to experiment with color, since you're really the only one enjoying the space.  I love the mix of the shelves and the closed cabinets, plus the racks to hang things.  The chandelier is an added bonus, of course.

This literally looks like the size of a bedroom.  And the mix of hanging space, shelves, and drawers would allow for everything to have its perfect place.  Ahh...the organization.

I can't tell how large this closet is or what the rest of it looks like, but I can say one thing.  Hello luxury.  You certainly are stunning.

Could you even imagine having a space like this for your closet?  I mean seriously.  I don't think I would ever leave it.

I think this would be my dream closet.  I love white, I love dark hardwood floors, its huge, and could be organized perfectly.  I don't see a single thing wrong or missing from this closet.

Again...organization perfection.  For real.

Which is your favorite space?  Is your closet anything as wonderful as these?
