Where can I find a vanity?

jestillman · Kenneth Cole

I LOVE mine and it's Quebeko. Google it and you can find it for the cheapest price. It is build-it-yourself, but EASY! they have good customer service and i've been happy with it. It even comes w/a little seat/stool w/storage!

XtinaStyles · Marc Jacobs

ooh I like that one, its not too feminine and the storage idea is great. Did you get it at a store or order it? The cheapest I found is $249+$99 for the stool. Its probably a great price for this piece but my budget is a little strapped right now.

I ordered it online. I dont' recall from where. I have matching tables too. Really I just googled the line and chose the cheapest place.

Hopefully you can find it cheaper. Maybe you cld try calling and see if there's any free shipping or seeing if you could negotiate with one company...wortyh a try if you love it. The storage isn't huge, but perfect for make-up bags and small jewlery boxes and other misc stuff I have no where else to put. (not sure that last sentence was English)

I bought a small desk at an unfinished furniture shop for around $125, painted it to match my bedroom furniture and use it as a vanity. A lot of those places will stain or paint something for you for an additional charge.

I'm not sure where you could look for something less expensive, except maybe Ikea or Target.

Using a console table is another option, if it's the right height for you. I found this at target.com for 89.99:

this one is cute, from Bombay Co:

$179

I use a little writing desk for mine, actually. It's pretty cute, but not a lot of storage.

you could do something like this for $99, and find an inexpensive ottoman and mirror at TJ Maxx or something...

this ottoman is on sale as well for $59

and this mirror is $50...

Maybe you could find something cool at a second-hand shop. Or, perhaps you could do some yard sale-ing on an upcoming weekend. A little secretary's desk could be cool (if you like traditional furniture).

Thanks guys, I actually like these ideas better! We had to throw away what we thought was going to be our bedroom furniture so now we have to go shopping for dressers and such.. I want to wait to see what we pick out so that my vanity can match. I like the idea of putting one together myself, maybe I'll find some pieces while we're shopping for the bedroom stuff.

and I'm glad to see that others have a vanity. when I was searching, majority of the time I would find childrens vanity sets... and I thought what do they need a vanity for???
