Vanity Update

I mentioned earlier in the month that I was looking for a vanity so I could stop sitting in floor every morning and feign some glamour and intrigue.

I think I've finally found it...and I'm kinda pretty much super really excited, because it's big enough to have a little desk space too. Well, technically it is a desk.

Obviously, it's not a traditional vanity per se, but I love the idea of mix and match and think this would look great with some bold color or silver metal boxes and a simple black or burnt orange colored mirror. Or maybe one like this:

There are even cute little pull-out surfaces on both sides. I'll probably use these for fresh flowers and fan mail, love letters from other celebrities, my various Academy Awards and Nobel Prizes and maybe some Twizzlers.

Oh...and I think I must also have this chair. the little wooden "x" on the back is made of curved wood from Vietnam. It was also important to me that the chair tuck completely underneath when not in use, which this does perfectly. It shall be mine.

Here's a (grainy) pic I took at the store so you can see how they look together. I realize the weathered natural look is not for everyone, but I think it's fun to match the masculine with the feminine if you will, so there you have it: Vietnamese work table turned girly makeup station. I'll keep you posted.

Free Time = Obsessive re-decorating

My work as an artist's assistant depends on the work of the artist...and alas, he has flown to France to look at a project, which (cross your fingers) I'll get to help out with, but in the mean time, I have lots of free time on my hands.
This always sounds fabulous at first, as I begin making To Do lists and plan the writing of my novel, the finishing of a painted masterpiece and the mastery of some gourmet dishes. Unfortunately, it usually ends up more like me sitting in my pj's at 1pm eating cereal and staring at the walls.
One of the walls I stare at is curved, and I'm stumped. I know there must be some fabulous creative idea to show off this quirky architectural feature. Any suggestions?
