Thanks everybody!
my mom hired someone to paint so I could enjoy spring break a little emailed vanity girl this morning and no word back yet. They say orders should ship within 1-2 business days and then take 5 days to get to Florida. But apparently mine hasn't even shipped and I order last Sunday, March 6th 
so sad.
Update: VG said they are behind on production and mine should be leaving Cali today. means I prob won't get it until next Monday so sad, so impatient!!!!!

Flag- I can't wait to serious set up. I should hopefully have my setup by the end of the month. Due in part to my hectic work schedule.
Thanks Beenie! It'll do for now at least, lol! I eventually want to get that hollywood mirror one! But for now, I am perfectly content with what I have.
Thanks...I would LOVE to have a nice vanity set up one day....right now it's not very realistic....my daughter(who is 2 1/2) would destroy it....lol...she is already all of my mac lipsticks!!!!
It is so hard to have nice stuff when they're that age. Then you have to worry about them growing up and pilfering your stuff!
since i outgrew my bookcase and needed even more space I just bought this to put all of my makeup on, can't wait for it to be delivered! Now if only those muji cases would be back in stock and I could find a nailpolish rack.

Wow, that's beautiful. Love the detail on it and it would totally go with my old world theme decor. Where did you find this?
Beautiful setup.For those of you that don't know, I am new to the makeup thing. I am 29 years old and I am embarrassed to say that I've only used a mineralized powder and lipgloss. However, all of that has changed w/in the last two months and I have gone shopping makeup crazy. I needed a place to store all this makeup besides just laying around on my bathroom counter. Here is how this desk all came about.
So...first we went looking for a makeup mirror and I could not find anything I liked (in price and in style). So then, we went looking for a mirror to hang on the wall or something. Again, I found a couple of mirrors I liked but not for the price tag. Then, we went looking for a table or something that I can sit down while applying makeup. My problem is that I like to get really close and personal to the mirror (probably because im such a newbie) but the depth of the table's we found were so wide that I literally had to stand up and hover over the table to get close enough to the mirror to see what I was doing.
Finally, my dear sweet husband said "Let's go to Home Depot and see if I can't make something to fit what you want."
He ended up making me this! It's perfect because it's only like 12 inches deep to where I can, while seated, lean super close up to the mirror when I do my eyeshadows, etc. You can't see the side but I bought these cute little fabric cubby hole things and it's super cute) I love the whole thing! I love the price tag even more. The whole thing only cost around $100- $110 to put together including power strip, light bulbs and everything. And it's super bright! I much rather spend a low amount in the desk/vanity area and spend the rest on makeup
Sorry for the essay...I'm a lawyer, what do you expect?
GORGEOUS!!!!!!
seriously....in a bag filled with lipsticks she goes right for my mac!!!
That is a very cool setup, and you have a very sweet (and talented!) hubby for coming up with that idea and then building it just for you.
HEY LADIES! so i have kinda hit a wall in my room renovation. i have bits and pieces done but so many BIG things to do. and i ordered my vanity girl starlet mirror last sunday and it hasn't shipped yet
i also wanted to paint my dingy yellowed popcorn ceiling but i know that entails moving everything out of my room. i have 6 pieces of furniture to assemble (some ikea some target) and a chandelier to hang. ughhhh just venting! i wish i could just wiggle my nose and it would all be done!!!
I hear ya! I'm sure it will be worth it though and can't wait to see pics! especially of the starlet mirror... i've been curious about it and would love to hear a review from someone who actually paid for it!
