When I was younger, I had a vanity in my room. I didn’t call it a vanity however, it was a ‘dressing table’ – a term I never hear anymore.
Regardless of its name, I will always be a fan of the look.
Suzanne Kasler’s signature chair tucked under a mirrored vanity is very pretty.
I love this use of modern wallpaper with an antique mirror and furniture that has a vintage feel.
Styling makes a vanity even that much more lovely.
I love the detail in this vignette.
A peek at a few more modern vanities…
This vanity is the perfect complement to its beautiful bathroom.
Every little girl deserves her own dressing table and this one is especially lovely.
This unique table and various decor create an attractive and functional vanity without being overly feminine.
Do you have a vanity or a dressing table in your home? What do you call yours?

I have pondered doing a post on these. I have the dressing table that belonged to the woman who started Montaldo’s here. My aunt bought it from her estate because she knew her and shopped with her often. I think her name was Ann Wilson? I need to ask my Aunt. It needs a new skirt and I haven’t used it for years but may be I will get it out and redo it. Yes, I think you have motivated me Laura! Great post!
I love vanities. The little girl vanity is Irresistibly charming. Hmmm. I think men should get their own space, too What do you think? It would be interesting to design one. Herringbone, leather, brass…. Thanks for sharing.
I have the perfect spot in my master bath….always on the look out, but haven’t come across the right thing. This post is really motivating….
Hey Laura!
Absolutely beautiful post! I pinned an image…so love this.
I too, had a “dressing table” and so did my Mom. Every girl needs one.
Hope all is well..we need to catch up soon!

I was hoping my new master bath would accommodate a vanity, but alas, it was not to be. not enough space. I love these and would consider one in my bedroom. donna
Beautiful post! I love my dressing table and would be ugly as mud without it!
Lovely post Laura. I hadn’t seen many of the photos and each had details I loved!

I love vanities! I had one on Bedford Road and loved it! Now there is one in the guest room….but it needs a stool!
I’m crazy for a pretty dressing table…I have an antique piece in front of a full length antique mirror with sconces on either side…its a relaxing way to get ready for the hectic day. These are some gorgeous images…will be pinning away! Happy weekend. Mona
