Vanity...not vainity!

I know! I know! 

Vainity is not a word... 

But as I share pictures of my new/olden vanity table I feel like it must surly seem 

like such a self indulgent piece of furniture to some people. 

I can't help it! 

I love it!

I use it twice a day and do not regret buying it .... AT ALL! 

If that makes me vain, well... okay. I'm vain. 

It is the most feminine thing I own..... And I own a lot of gurly stuff.  

Ask my husband.  He'll quickly verify. 

Ok... no apologies... here she is!

The day I got her, I literally walked in the shop and saw her. 

The shop owner said that she is French... but I don't see any evidence whether she is or isn't.

And I don't care.

There was no hesitation! I mean it!

I bought her right then and there. Went and got my husband's truck

and brought her home.

She barely fits, and she crowds our bedroom but she still has a special spot all her own. 

Aged and perfectly chippy in an elegant way... see her dove tails?

I did add some pretty paper lining to the drawers. 

Since I can't put her against a blank wall, I put the mirror on an easel in the corner.

With the windows on either side of the corner, I get some pretty good lighting. 

She makes any occasion seem special.

So now I have to ask you...

Have you ever purchased something that you were a little afraid to purchase, 

and then were so glad that you did? 

I'll be joining Marty for Inspire Me Tuesday
