Miss 1929 said:and all full...
I really need to cull the makeup drawer, it is up to the top now. I keep the brushes and such in a jar on the top surface, but all the real makeup in the drawer. Another drawer just for nails, one for the hair combs, brushes, barrettes, backup bobby pins in various boxes (there are two pin caddies on the top too), one drawer has cans of hairspray, wave setting clamps, hairnets, snoods, fake hair, and the bottom two drawers seems to accumulate...crap.
I can't see keeping the cold cream and such here, as I always use it at the sink...thank goodness I have a big cupboard in the bathroom.
And the top always seems to grow more little boxes of stuff...
other items on top that are essential, a standing mirror for closeup work (doubles as a see-the-back-of-head mirror), wedding photo, flower vase, alarm clock (if it's next to the bed I snooze it forever, I have to get out of bed to wake up), and lamps! Must have strong light!
Here's the table on a neat day, still way too cluttered.

I love it, I oil it once a week and I put some old xmas lights around it for a nice glow. (those are some of my hair flowers barretted to the lights)
I wish I could take a head on pic, but it is in a corner of my room that is in an L-shape.
and MaryDeluxe, notice anything?

I am actually looking for one now, it has to be vintage for sure, and have at least 4 drawers for make up, hair stuff, creams and sexy underwear.
I have it all visualized, drawers lining with some nice paper and a nice pink/white tulle tablecloth to avoid scratching, and lots of little perfume bottles on top.
What i am not sure is about the mirror's shape, did i read somewhere the round one was best??
I am also looking for those hollow cushioned stols or benches where you can put stuff in ( i could hide there my less glamourous staff or even better jewelry as i dont think modern thugs know about this.

I think it really doesn't matter what shape mirror, but what would be great (that I don't have) is the kind with wings in the sides so you can see profile and back views! I like my round one though, as I have two othwer round mirrors in the room now, so they echo each other.
