TIps for creating a superbly glamorous dressing room

Posted by Mr Wong at 5:19 PM 0

Jane, a Decorology reader, wrote me asking for inspiration for a 9x9 room she wants to turn into a "fit for a star dressing room." So I've done my best to compile some super glamorous dressing rooms. I've also found a few "glam dressing room" essentials and where to find them. Even if you don't have a dressing room, I hope you enjoy this eye candy!

One of my favorite dressing rooms - the dressing room of JCrew Jenna Lyons as seen in Domino.

Another one I like -I guess I really like the windows with natural light, which is good for makeup.

I think the mornings would be easier to face with a beautiful wall of beautiful shoes.

A dressing room is a great place to try out that bold wallpaper or paint color you've been eyeing as it's a more private, smaller space.

Here are some items I would use to create a starlet dressing room.

Hi everyone! I'm so excited to be able to post on a regular basis again! The trip was absolutely amazing and I promise to share pictures of my boyfriend and my 9 week journey - but first I have to do some photo organizing. I thought I'd welcome everyone back with a book giveaway, Mark Montano's "Big-Ass Book of Home Decor." You can see samples of the book in my review post from May. To enter the giveaway just leave a comment telling me your favorite place (city, country, etc.) you've ever traveled, and why if you wish. Or you can email me your favorite place. The giveaway will be closed next Tuesday at 12am EST. Good luck!

And now, to warm up a bit - I thought I'd just publish some good old Decorology-style eye-candy. It's great to be back!

I like the "living" room feel of this bathroom.

My favorite part of this image - the closet. One day - one day.


Organized shelves like these make me swoon.

What a great way to dine.




Last but not least, Katy Elliot's blog

I can't wait until I have a living room big enough that I can actually but a table behind my couch.

I fell in love with the home of Windsor Smith, which is featured on the September issue of House Beautiful. Her kitchen also graces the cover. As you can see, she's got a sophisticated taste without being flashy, and I love her eye for color!
