Dressing Table Re-do


I found this picture in Domino (click on it to see it bigger) and decided to use it as my inspiration picture to re-do my dressing table a little bit. I didn't do it exactly like the picture--I just used the lamp I had and like it better on the left side. And I used my plant stand instead of a pedestal bowl for my jewelry. So here are the before and after pictures below. I got most of the new things you see at The Pickled Hutch (the green dish, the butterfly tray, the mirrored tray). I can't believe we actually had the same book that's in the picture! Then I used the Pernod instead of Lillet because we didn't have any Lillet. I don't even like Pernod (it tastes like black licorice, gag) but it was a good prop. And I was excited to use one of my new star etched glasses even though I really wouldn't drink at my dressing table. I'd like to paint the dressing table and the mirror black but that will have to wait. Now I just need a sassy dress and a place to go!

Here's the before. Pretty boring.

And after . . .
