Wood Dressing Tables are the Best

HAWORTH, ENGLAND - FEBRUARY 08:  A toy soldier...
A dressing table is like mustard; you either love it or hate it. For many of the younger generations, a dressing table is something to be sneered at as an item of furniture found only in their grandma’s bedroom, or similar characters with a reputation for being something of an old maid. Well, speaking for ourselves, we firmly believe that all those people are wrong.

The dressing table is perhaps the must have piece of furniture someone should have in her bedroom. Well, after the bed. And the wardrobe…maybe a chest of drawers, but after all those items have been sourced you simply must look into getting yourself a dressing table.

A good dressing table will take on a life of its own, becoming an extension of your own personality as it guides you through choppy seas; holding your hand and reflecting the truth good or bad as you prepare yourself for each and every day of your life. You will sit in front of your dressing table mirror at least once every day and you know that it will not let you go out on that important date, or big job interview until every last hair is in place and you look and feel the best you can.

Whether you want a traditional or a contemporary option there will a dressing table to match your own personal taste. You should also consider how it fits with the rest of your home. If you have a log siding home with cedar exterior, maybe you should consider getting a dressing table made out of cedar wood. A single pedestal dressing table will do, affording you enough storage space to accommodate all your cosmetics, moisturizers and hair care products, without being too big or costing too much. You will be able to pick up a decent painted dressing table from any of the top furniture stores online (or if you are after a traditional look then there you can get solid pine, cedar or oak dressing tables in all manner of wax finishes) and once you've got one installed in your room you will wonder how you ever managed without one.
