I wear makeup every day. I love it. Any time I don’t wear any people ask me if I’m feeling sick, I’m actually quite pale in real life but I love to emerge from the house a biscuity beige, my cheeks sculpted by glistening bronze powder, aah lovely! For months I’ve had cosmetics scattered around the hall outside my bedroom but spring has sprung and it’s time to get organised.Inspired by Mise’s spring clean, I bought this:
A dated chip board vanity unit thing. Not bad for twenty two euro though! And to sweeten the deal, two drawers! You can never have enough storage. I painted the whole thing in a blueberried grey matte paint.
I spray painted the door knobs red. Although I’m still not convinced that they are as gorgeous as possible but I’ll live with them for a while and see.
I’m using one of the stools from the kitchen that I painted up last year, I’ll have to get a special one for this at some stage though, maybe with a velvet seat! So boudoir!
The beautiful ceramic head is by brilliant local artist Michael O’Donovan.
Finally a place to preen myself and paint my face for five minutes every morning!
