Posted by admin on 05 Feb 2010 at 02:38 pm | Tagged as: Jewelry storage
There are several ways to have a makeup vanity that’s really affordable and doesn’t take up too much space in your bedroom, bathroom or wherever you like to dress and apply your makeup. You can buy ready made vanity tables for as little as $100 or $150, but you can also do something a little different.
Buy a small half-moon console table or just the wood for one with wall brackets from your local home improvement center. Attach it to the wall, paint or varnish it and slide a stool under it so you can sit up to the table, But a round or oval mirror and hand it over the console. You can use a cheap rolling organizing tray beside it to keep makeup and everyday jewelry. You can do all this for pocket change and have a customized vanity table that’s exactly the right size for your space.
Where to Buy Really Great Makeup Vanity Tables for Women and Children
If making, or putting a makeup vanity table together, isn’t what you had in mind, then you may be wondering where to order a cheap one online. Okay here’s the answer. Don’t go to specialty shops. Vanity tables are expensive, even though they’re small, so stick to large outlets that have gorgeous brand name sets for under $200.
Some names to look for are Powell Furniture who have pieces like the Powell Hills of Provence Mirror Bench Bedroom Makeup Vanity, or Nexera who have contemporary pieces like the Pablo Espresso modern wood makeup vanity table set which includes a little bench and a mirror for one price. For a really cheap metal option you may want to keep in mind the Black Heart Vanity that’s sold through Hayneedle for about $149, and for children try the adorable Kid Kraft design that’s called the Sweet Kid makeup vanity table that’s just $140 and sells through Funky Kids.
Vanity Table Styles and Prices
There are vanity tables to match most decors, like rich cherry wood designs that have a full jewelry armoire or storage in a chest that’s part of the table or along the side. There are simple glass or wrought iron designs that only have one or two trays under the table and space for a stool. The cheapest models of vanity tables are those from metal, pressed wood with a white lacquer or black finish and those that are simple glass and metal or pine.
The most elaborate designs are the French wooden tables that have padded stools and elaborate carved and embellished mirrors to match. These can cost as much as $1,000 or more. But don’t worry, there are lots of gorgeous princess style vanities that cost between $100 and $300 and are perfect for a young girl or even a woman’s dressing room.
