Dressing Up the Dressing Area

I admit it - when I was a little girl, I bought into the princess thing hook, line, and sinker. One element of that fantasy that I'm not quite over is the dream of having a fabulously appointed dressing area.
My current makeup-hair-and-jewelry setup includes a rickety table from IKEA and a hand-me-down mirror, tucked into a neglected corner of my bedroom. It's nothing more than a functional afterthought...which means it has lots of potential (if you want to look on the bright side).
So maybe one day, I'll have a real dressing area. Like these:

| This little corner i feminine and glamorous without being nauseating. I love it - and the room as a whole. |
Compared to the extravagant closet above, this dressing area is positively restrained. In reality, though, look at all that real estate! It's enough room to really spread out the makeup and jewelry.

This room is less focused on the face and hair prep and more on the dressing itself, but I can't help but love that bench.

This space proves that one simple corner is enough - as long as that corner includes a fabulous mirror.

kindly, even light
I once had a dressing table tucked into a dormer window which had it all EXCEPT the flattering light. I could only console myself that I looked better than that, really, and it kept me humble.
