Following on from the wonderful bedroom chair thread, I wonder if you’re game to show your dressing table

BlueBelle Fri 15-Jul-22 14:16:38

I don’t have one …. That problem solved

Super tidy = haven't got one!

Patsy70 Fri 15-Jul-22 14:35:34

Me neither.

No dressing table here either.

Mine is not for public showing, and I really must do something about that.
Necklaces, hairbrushes and potions and lotions, books, a coffee mug and a water glass and a half dead peace lily. Also a large tray of bits and pieces.

It’s dreadful, must tidy it. We are away just now but I will when I get home. Laura mine is like yours , maybe worse!

I do have a dressing table and keep several items on the top of it, but virtually all these in a nice open top box/container. This has my deodorant, vaseline, cold crea, perfume. Hair brush is kept in drawer, just taken out as I need to use it. Also have an attractive jewellery box with several drawers, etc, on dressing table. On top of that I keep my two main asthma medications (one for morning, one for evening. I have a small container where I put my hearing aids overnight. Like to see the dressing table neat and tidy.

I have neither a bedroom chair nor a dressing table. I have some pretty untidy shelves and drawers though….

I’m in the no dressing table camp too, no stuff really, don’t wear makeup or do anything to my hair. Side table has book, glass of water and bp tablets.

I'm with BlueBelle I don't have a dressing table and left to my own devices can't stand clutter. I seem to constantly be clearing others crap from every available surfaces. Anything in daily use is still put away.

HowVeryDareYou Fri 15-Jul-22 15:12:37

I haven't got one. I seem to have a drawer and cupboard full of -crap-necessary items instead

3 bedrooms and not a dressing table anywhere.

I have a lot of things on mine but tidy it regularly ,it's mainly perfume bottles .

Franbern Fri 15-Jul-22 16:11:55

When I took picture, I did not stop to think that me taking the picture would be reflected inAf dressing table mirror. This triple mirror was purchased originally for my built-in dressing table at my last house, and moved with me to go on new one.,

After I am dressed each morning, I like to sit in front of that on my dressing table to do my hair, put in earrings, and, generally, just check up on how I look to the world.

No dressing table here either.

I have a large chest of drawers not a dressing table as such. At the moment it is in a bit of a muddle.

M0nica Fri 15-Jul-22 16:28:36

An immaculately tidy Victorian desk with a free standing oval mirror, a Victorian mahogany vanity case, containing my make-up and a white embroidered tray cloth

HeavenLeigh Fri 15-Jul-22 16:32:49

I have a dressing table but as it has triple mirror on it so I would be reflected in it, I have my perfumes on it, makeup all hidden away in little units, box of tissues, that’s it. Tidy today, but some days I plonk other bits on there, not so tidy ?

Callistemon21 Fri 15-Jul-22 16:34:19

It's usually quite tidy, no makeup or hair stuff, but at the moment it has a large fan on it.

My dressing table is very tidy...I have a white ottoman in my bedroom which occasionally (very). has clothes or other items on it...

Davida1968 Fri 15-Jul-22 16:37:46

Cant show mine - too cluttered! It's meant to be shared with DH, but it's mostly my stuff..... (At least this thread may make me tidy it up a bit.)
