you're so vanity

Today, we step inside of the eclectic world of

gypsy and her vanity. It's a uniquely 

assembled space with several interesting characteristics

and pieces. Very shabby chic!

Let's start with the vanity itself. The vanity

is comprised of an old refurbished coffee table. 

it was painted with several layers of paint, and then

sanded down to give it a vintage appeal.

The table is then adorned with this oversized 

gold framed mirror and then accompanied by

the perfect little vintage chair.

This is one of my favorite pieces on the vanity.

I am a self proclaimed sunglass collector,

so it was important to me to have a way to display

some of my favorite pairs. This old clasp hand display

holder was the perfect fit.

Over the years, I have become somewhat fond of brass

animal figures at the antique and thrift stores. I have

come to discover they make great jewelry holders, 

if you find the right one. A couple of my absolute favorites

are the mouse ring holder, and the crab whose shell is a case!

Bracelets and watches are somewhat difficult

sometimes to find a good holder for. I decided,

the perfect holders were a couple of old wine 

bottles I spray painted gold and stuck some

faux flowers in.

No vanity feels quite complete without a proper 

perfume display. My grandmother gifted me this mirror

tray, which seemed to work out perfect for my space.

It gives the bottles a chic feel. 

This old perfume sprayer is a new find

which I am more than excited about because for one,

it matches my Lady Gaga set, and two it's amazing.

Along with my brass animal collection comes by

"other" animal collection. I just love the way an old skull

looks as a jewelry holder. Plus, it gives the vanity

an edgy vibe.

 Lastly, the surroundings. Framing my vanity, are

these fantastic steel antlers from various animals

we found at Marshalls one day. We saw them and said

"Hey! Those would be great for jewelry!" I have to 

say the Moose Might be my favorite. Accompanying these

antlers are some small hanging shelves and this 

beautiful inspirational piece my sister made for me.

I hope you found some inspiration, and even 

some interest in exploring my vanity today! It's been a 

work in progress. I can't say I'll ever be complete, as long

as I keep finding brass animals. But for now,

I am more than pleased with the space.

Cheers!
