My Vanity...

I finally sort-of finished the vanity that I bought at the Rose Bowl Flea Market. I bought the mirror at the used hotel furniture place, and I screwed in some fab. knobs that I hung some vintage jewelry from.
I also bought some chair padding and black velvet and filled some old boxes with it to make some jewelry organizers.

Inside this drawer are some bracelet holders that I made by covering pieces of swimming toy float. After trimming it to fit into the drawers, I covered it with the black velvet. I secured the jewelry with hat pins...

Your vanity is fantastic! Great creativity... Don't you just love knobs? I once saw vintage glass knobs screwed into a wall to be used as dish towel holders. I have to say, I think the necklace holder idea is even better!

The vanity is to-die-for. The pool-noodle idea should be submitted to a magazine and make you rich and famous.

But ... that's just tme.

Ok, so I inherited some (alot) of vintage jewelry. I need your help finding a place for them. I have a standing jewelry case, but I don't have room or a clever way to organize. I love this idea...it has got the hamster in my head on the wheel!
