I’ve never understood folks who like to style their hair and put on their makeup in the bathroom (the most humid room in the house). Because I share our one full bathroom with Mike (and I like a steamless room to complete my morning ritual) I wanted to create a little area in our new bedroom where I could put on makeup and style my hair. I took a little inspiration from a recent blog post from Anna at door sixteen and painted an Ikea BEKVÄM step stool in colors that match the bedroom. The step stool also functions as a nice little seat. We then installed a simple shelf and a mirror. I rounded out the project with some inexpensive painted boxes to store glasses and makeup that was inspired by a $100 storage shelf from CB2. I’m very pleased with the results, and I think it will be a very functional area for me to use every day.

The completed vanity project. Simple and functional.
Oh, see, and I've always been doing my hair and make-up while driving to work! Steamfree!
Now you tell me! You could have saved me a few hours of work. Is it necessary to install one of those extra-wide rear view mirrors?
Pair that with the "makeup tentacle" and you are one gooood looking driver! http://bookreviewsbybobbie.wordpress.com/2009/06/19/make-up-tenticle-ultimate-fail/
