A few months ago, I used some banked Joss & Main credit to snag a desk and mirror to use together as a vanity in our new dressing room. Although the two pieces were sold during different flash sales, when I popped them together, they were like the hubs and I... completely meant to be.
Two years ago when I started designing up the room, I knew I wanted to create a cozy and special place to escape and be a girl in this home full of boys. The desk and mirror were the missing link the space has been waiting for! {I know it's crazy ridiculous that we have a dressing room, however, you can find more about how it came to be here.} But oh so white right? It's a phase. My name is Jen and I am addicted to white furniture. Seriously, I just love the clean and fresh feeling that the white gives, especially in windowless areas... but this was screaming for some color. Even the drawer dividers disappeared in the sea of white...
Yawn....
The first pop of fun and whimsy I decided to add to this new girly hot spot, were some fabulous knobs I found at Hobby Lobby for $1.50 each!
Aren't they incredible? During our recent trip out to Montana, Amanda treated me to the most incredible and overwhelming trip to Hobby Lobby. I was a Hobby Lobby virgin until that point, so I had no idea what to expect, and it was everything I was hoping for, and so much more! Their knob selection was my favorite part!
So much better already!!
The next step was to tackle the inside of the drawers. Now when I started this project, I will admit, I questioned if I was going overboard. Have I taken my obsession with labeling too far? But when I was done, I knew it was the right move and it will make me smile big day after day, and that is what matters, crazy or not.
I picked a slew of my favorite colors of Silhouette's premium vinyl and started by popping the first one into my super slick cutting machine.
I was hoping to create something graphic and colorful inside the drawers, so I cut out the labels from different fonts, colors and images, and transferred them to the bottom of the acrylic drawer dividers. This allowed me to easily see the labels, but they would also stay protected.
As always, I was excited that the machine was able to make such sweet cuts for me, especially since some of the fonts I adore are so delicate!
Once all of the labels were cut and transferred to the bottoms of the dividers, they made the statement I was going for inside the drawers...
Even when all of my makeup was added into the dividers, you could still see glimpses of the colors peeking out and saying hello.
Since I also use the vanity for giving my hair some love, the second drawer was devoted to those belongings.
Goodbye white, hello color!
Now to find the perfect rug and this room will be about complete. Time for a happy dance!
