How tidy or untidy is your dressing table

I'm in the spare room after my op as the bed is easier. My room is more untidy.

I have never had one and wouldn’t know what to do with one. Never one to sit looking at myself.

Oh dear.

Ah , the tweezers!!
I used my mirror on the windowsill this morning to “do” the chin hairs.

I too don't have a dressing table ..... All my things are on my window ledge. No makeup as I don't wear it. The light is good and my most important things on there are my magnifying mirror and tweezers!!

I would be mortified if anyone other than my GD saw mine.
It has everything but the kitchen sink on it.
It does have a kettle, two containers, one with tea, one with coffee.
My GD brings up two mugs and fresh milk before she goes to work.
A small ornamental tray with perfume, a make up bag, although I don’t put make up on there, I use a large mirror on my windowsill for the better light.
I do sit and dry my hair though which I have just done.
Also on there some jewellery boxes, a stand for hanging costume jewellery and a box with spare medication.
All in all a mess. My H who was OCD for tidying would have a fit if he could see it.

There is so much on our chest of drawers that it is impossible to see the top surface - but at least it keeps the dust at bay

I don’t have one either.
My bedroom chair, OTOH 😱!

I used to gave a dressing table - not anymore .
I keep my make up in the hall because I prefer natural light to apply it .
Too bad if visitors are shocked !
Admittedly , if I know that they are coming I have a frantic tidy up .
After years of being houseproud I've got other more important things to do !

If I had a dressing table it would be just as untidy as everywhere else!
I've become such an untidy person, I'm ashamed to admit.
I never was super tidy, but I was definitely much better than I am these days.

Here we are

My lovely dressing table had to go in recent downsize move sadly. I have recreated it on a chest of drawers, very tidy and clean all products in daily use.

I have a magnifying mirror with lights on a chest of drawers, never had a dressing table, but don’t want one.

No dressing table here either. I have a long dresser in my bedroom with a mirror attached. It has my jewellery box in the centre, with a few little odds and ends on the shelfs on the mirror.

I hate to say there is usually a pile of clothes on it. It does get tidied every morning.

I was complaining about resurrected threads earlier, but I am enjoying reading this thread again.

Just noted this thread is almost 2 years old.
Not that it matters …. Made me a bit sad though as a lot has changed for us since then. We were on holiday in Ibiza in June 2022.

Our bathroom is solution to lack of dressing table, imo.

I do have a dressing table, but neither it nor the rest of my bedroom is fit to be on public display!

My excuse is that only the cats and I go into my bedroom, and that I am currently painting the outdoor side of the window frames in the entire house, so no time for tidying up.

Mine is exactly the same but with more creams for all sorts 😂😂 on it

I have never had one and wouldn’t know what to do with one. Never one to sit looking at myself

I don't have one, just perfumes on chest of drawers. I do my makeup in the bathroom.
I love the colour of your bedroom Pittcity. I also really like your curtains Kitty Lester. Colour really cheers me up.

I really want one! Always coveted one of those 'Sindy ' ones, all Louis 14th with gold trim. And the rest of the bedroom furniture to match of course - throw in a dollop of chintz and I'd never come out

I don't have one. Keep my items in wardrobe cupboard. Bring out when needed ,use bathroom for makeup, if required.

Dressing table very messy, and the footstool with clothes on. But it means the bedroom chair is tidy! ?

My ‘dressing table’ is actually a desk and often contains just my laptop, but since I retired it mostly gets used when I’m drying my hair. A while ago I decluttered and moved my lotions and potions to a couple of shelves in my (tiny) walk-in wardrobe. I have several cosmetic bags, one for nails, one for lipsticks, one for creams etc. - all tucked out of the way and not gathering dust.

I don’t have one. Added to which, I never wear makeup other than occasional lipstick as I’m allergic to most products. Added to which, DH hated a lot of makeup on women…
