Vanity Table Inspiration: Womanly Hue

I'm a loudmouth with vanity tables since my previous post on tranquil blue-green pastel vanity table inspiration up to this post. In which case I can, most likely, be called vain. No, vanity-table vain. [laughs*]

My inspiration this time gives me that overjoyed and contented state of mind.

If you remember from my last post, I mentioned at the end that pinks are my kind of colors. And they are. The touch of lush pink in this first photo overruns with womanliness. What I like best about it is its perfect balance of functionality and design. The shabby table can accommodate more than enough personal items in it. Its white color is a perfect match for any other colors you can pair it with come the time that you want to give it a new look. The egg-crate mattress pad on the vanity chair does not only add soft details but also ward you off of uncalled-for 1st degree pressure sores, especially for long-time makeup periods. The light bulb mirror makes it also look celeb and posh, the likes of Victoria Beckham, Anna Wintour, or Cara Delivingne dolling up for a big runway show. Aaahh!

I like the stronger shade of pink in this second photo. The cushion pillows are the icing to the cake. The stylish perspective of this inspiration is also more exemplified by the wardrobe mannequin on the side. I like the fact that it also doesn't look too vanity-table-like. You can fiddle the idea of placing it on the living space without it looking like a serious bedroom piece- it's a double-purpose idea that is good for small spaces. What's nice with pink is that it symbolizes romance, tenderness, acceptance, and composure.

Word of advice here, is to combine strong or toned- down shades of pink with white or neutral color and add a statement piece to it. It maybe a vintage-style vanity chair, or a wardrobe mannequin. Or how about putting one of your voguish pair of stiletto on top of fashion and beauty books and place it on one side of the vanity table. Only make sure it's clean and almost good as new for it to deserve a considerable display. What do you think?

Vanity Table Inspiration: Tranquil Pastels

I drool for beautifully embellished homes and interior. There's a drawing power between me and  home decoration since play days. I watch lifestyle and home magazine shows more than TV listings other kids of my age would pay attention to. 

This interest spills over the confines of TV to printed finds, and even on-line. Whenever there's something I'm really inspired about, I write or print it in catalogs. Or more easily now, keep it in my virtual pinboard.

One important part of the home that I am mostly fascinated about is the private space. Simply because it says largely about one's personality and it's where most, if not all of us, are absolutely free to do whatever we want. 

In this post, I'd like to be more specific about private space and talk something more about vanity tables. I am thinking of making a series of posts that toss ideas about it.

A Vanity Table is a small table we place in one side of our bedroom. It's where we station our makeup, beautifying solutions, add-on candies, and fragrance bottles.

Here, are blue green pastel- themed vanity tables.

I like the mixture of cream color complimenting the powder blue pastel that dominates the entire corner. The vintage- style vanity chair adds beauty to the centerpiece without being overly distracting. The jack pine shade of green on the lamp, frame of the mirror, and trash can compliments the main color. Plus the transparent nature of the table itself gives it a larger illusion- perfect for a small space.

The combination of colors and texture in this vanity table inspiration creates a tranquil effect in the mood. I can only imagine patting subtle strokes of blush without worrying how it will look in day light. The fact that it's near the window and the powder blue color soothes my mood keeps me from pressure, perhaps even when I know I'm already late for brunch or an important meeting. It's just totally different with a dim and cluttered space.

In this second photo, the powder blue and jack pine shade of green is given a different perspective. The vintage vanity table and chair compliments well together. It's also comfortable to have added the polka dot-upholstered chair cushion. The touch of purple shades though gives it a more grown- up look, but it's as tranquil as the first photo. One thing functional about this inspiration is that the table has a drawer from which you can stash more things in.

The general idea is to mix pastel with vintage. And if it's blue, it will go well with green- a duochrome, in contrast with a natural color (white or cream).

The next vanity table inspiration would be from pastel shades of pink. My kind of color!
