This dressing area is feminine without being pink and fluffy. I love the graphic curtains paired with the white covered vanity and pale blues. The collection of mirrors is a great idea to create a classy three-way mirror.

So simple and so beautiful. This is how barebones and unique pieces shine.

New Look!

I thought my blog could use a little re-design! Like all things- I get a little bored and need to change it.
