Vanity for daughter dilemma

7 years ago

last modified: 7 years ago

Hi I am in the process of redoing my daughters room. I purchased her bed at pottery barn kids. She got the Blythe Carriage bed in vintage Grey. We painted her room; 3 walls are grey and the other is a lavender glitter. She would like a vanity / desk. I found one I really like at pottery barn teen but the only problem is that it only comes in white and a brushed fog ; its the Chelsea vanity. I like it because it had drawer space that I can use for socks and stuff. Im also interested in a lingerie chest but just haven't found it. Im just not sure how the color would look. I have an armoire in the space for the vanity for the moment. I was also thinking of getting a lavender furry or acrylic chair. Please let me know your suggestions. Also what are your thoughts on waxed wooden drawer slides? That is what comes with the pottery barn furniture. Im not too thrilled but I really like the piece of furniture. Im including pictures of fmy daughters room and of the furniture. Im open to other suggestion also.

What a cute bed and room! I love the idea of a vanity there! Personally I’d go for the fog, I think it will look much more interesting than plain white. And a lavender fuzzy stool for sure.

Invest in furniture that is useful to your daughter as an adult. Not the cutesy kid stuff that she'll hate in 5 years.

Personally, I would love that vanity (in fog) at my advanced age! Always useful.

Lovely choices. I think the fog and fuzzy chair will be very nice. Best wishes!

Not a furniture expert but I'm not keen on waxed wooden drawer slides. I like metal hardware for drawers. The fog is a lovely colour and I love the fuzzy chair.

Why is the bed in that direction, and not head against the wall? Perhaps you are cramming too much furniture into the room Post more pictures, other views and angles.

The bed is unique and pretty, but there is no nightstand/table? I guess I was a bit of a bookworm and would have wanted a lamp/light so I could read books. How old is your daughter? Where does she/will she do homework? I inherited a deco vanity when I was little but it was a poor substitute for either a desk or proper storage, it was very pretty, just impractical.

Have you considered a mirrored vanity with a cute chair in bedroom colors?
