Is it ok to put a makeup vanity in a bedroom?
I was wondering if it's ok to put a small makeup table or vanity in a bedroom? I have much better light in my master than in my bath. I have a large bedroom but is this tacky? Thanks

there are ofcourse lots of beautifull design you can have with these colors,but tell us,please,which colors would you like to have,that way we can start putting together the style for you and him!!!!
(For example, if I receive a delightfully scented candle as a gift, I select one of my drawers for it. I can enjoy the scent when I open the drawer and on whatever clothing might be stored there. It makes the scent much more intimate.)
Best wishes.
As an amateur decorating enthusiast only, I suggest that while it seems counterintuitive the first step in the bedroom is buying the bed covering and taking the rest of the room colors from that. Knowing you, the bed covering is most likely going to have turquoise in the pattern.
there is nothing there,just 1 ideabook,if you can open a new one and put in there ONLY what you like(for now) edit and change after we all had a look!!!!the ideabook you have now is way to many pictures,some man switch of after 3..words-pictures-or minutes,its just the way it is,so try not to repeat!!!!or you wont stand a change convincing him of anything!!!this is good advice given to me some yrs ago by my mother-in-law!!it works!!!!
I will take a look at your Ideabook as well.
I feel that you can have dark or light woods for the furniture and mix in the mirrored vanity. If it will have a space that is separating it from being right next to the other furniture. Then, you can add color and silver and mirrored accessories in smaller doses. Anything that looks chrome, silver, mercury glass would be great. Hubby may not have a problem with a few smaller accessories that show that you are a partner in this room.
What about dark furniture and silver metallic paint color (comes in colors of choice) for walls? Metallics will capture the light and the vanity would be a compliment. Metallic will add a little glam to the room. It's a subtle light catcher.
If you can find what feeling you want from the room, it will come together by the choices in paint, fabrics, furniture, textures... and on what elements they are going to acheive that feeling for your room.
Now, given that you have a brown leather headboard, little boys who climb into bed with you, and your husband does not want light bedding...meanwhile you would like mirrored furniture.
It seems counterintuitive, but it easiest to start with the bedding and use it to guide color and texture choices for the rest of the room.
That said, I am thinking that your vanity might be best received by your husband if it is a dark wood, marble top, and has a "girly" mirror.
So, here goes:
The first photo shows the kind of vanity I think your husband might accept, and it has the mirror you chose.
The second photo has wall tile, but I wonder if Ikat fabric might also work.
The third photo shows a little bit of mirrored furniture.
The fourth photo is from your Ideabook, showing colors you know your husband likes.
Please continue to let us know your thoughts as you work on this project.
Two chairs are much more versatile than a love seat.
Do you NEED all the furniture you are thinking about? It is a good idea to have one's sleeping place as clutter-free as possible. Just because the furniture will fit does not mean it is a good idea. On the other hand, if the closet is minuscule, you may need furniture for storage of clothing.
One can put a rug over carpet. I think I recall that a rug pad is a good idea. You might need to look into the best way to proceed.

Ezita what does that say about me liking the senior look I'm only 32 maybe! Lol I really only need one large storage piece. If the nightstands have a little storage I can make one good size dresser work. Our room just feels so big and empty right now.we moved from a very small house 950 sqft. To this place I think that's why I'm trying to fill up the space.
There is nothing wrong with having an appreciation for antique "senior" furniture...
pls answer eztia q's,i am losing sight of what it is were are trying to find out for you????
I hope I didn't offend anyone with the seniors thing sorry my friend is always telling me that I pick stuff that older people do. I was wondering if telling you we are in AZ would help at all I think I want the space to look "cool " . How do you post pictures? I got some fabric that I would love to show you guys. Would also love to post Pictures of the room too.
That will become the lower rung on the stepladder to begin the room's building process. Design begins one step at a time, especially when you are on a budget (or prefer to be). It's also harder to use things that you already have and add some new elements to the mix to update and become the room you're desiring.
I believe that to cut costs, I would work with the leather headboard and start there. Hubby will be happy too. You can always add your feminine touches in a lot of other ways. He should be ok with including you in the room? I think there are a lot of ways to make the headboard work for you!
The reason being ... that I need to work with my husband's needs also and ... those items I just spoke of are by far the hardest decisions for both of us. I'm particular about style, color and pattern. Husband could care less, he either likes it or can't live with it. I would find one of these key items first.
The paint color, is always the last choice for me. I want the fabrics or bedding to be my priority as I've spent so much time finding the bedding that "I" can't live without! Just what has worked for me and many of my clients.
husband has now given you a way to show that this will be a fab room!!what you need to do is put it together in an ideabook on houzz or with pictures stuck in a book or go to the shops where you want to buy and either get a picture or a sample of what you want to buy,personallyi make 2 moodboards always ; a room i love and a room i think he agrees on(which at first he never does,sometimes i have to put my foot down,other times i let him mull it over for a while and try again,it has been know for him to take 2 yrs to decide on lamps!!!) so be prepared i know you want to do this room and its because he has made it dificult for you that you are now insecure,your ideabooks show you know what he wants and what you want!!!!!!!!! it is up to him to comprimise you have done more then your share of it up to this point,all about a room where most of the time you have your eyes closed!!!!
You mentioned you only had a very short time to get your ideas together for your husband. Would it be possible to ask for another week?
Ezita I wish I could say I have my own $ but I can't . And he won't give me another week maybe one more day but only if I give him a sneak peek and I don't want to do that.
I know it doesn't meet lots of people's ideas of the modern marriage, but that's the way it goes. I'm like you - the money is all "his" and though he gives a good deal of lipservice to the importance of mothers and women, he doesn't really believe it.
Sometimes my only hope is to tire him out - after a while he gets sick of the discussion and moves on, leaving me to do pretty much what I want.
13 maybe...make sure you can live with all of these if,on the off-change that he says yes to all of these!!!
again thank you for everything. KtTk
Just a mention here on the metallic paint - I love them too but you can always see brush marks with them; it's never perfectly even the way regular paint is. If principal that's part of it's appeal, but it bugs some people...

Will look for photos with gray walls and blue and cream. Be back soon...
I can attach four at a time.
I am sorry these photos do not enlarge on this post.
What about a fleur-de-lis (sp?) design on the bedspread?
If so, this gives you several months to add a fleur-de-lis pattern to the top edge of the blue top sheet, and the edge of your blue pillow cover.
If your family exchanges gifts for birthdays, you might ask for some money and start a bank account in your name only. You could also ask for a gift certificate so you could buy the sheets of your choice.
The subject of personal bank accounts might fall under the category of "none of my damned business" but no one has to know that you have it. Even if you only put a few dollars in it at a time, it might be very comforting to know that it is there. You can ask that they never send anything to you through the mail or emails.
A few years ago when my husband and I were having trouble I took a tiny apartment near my parents that I never really lived in but knowing it was there and that I could leave whenever I wanted allowed me to get through a very difficult time.
By the way I have two small boys and pets and its white bedding all the way in my room at the moment. It's so much easier to wash since you can put it on at a higher heat.
As you being allowed to make any decisions?
Would a console like this work
Would it be fruitless to suggest having a frank discussion with your husband about all this?
Earlier in this discussion, you said you could never ask for money for a gift. Could you ask for a gift card to a store you like?
