It’s been a looong time since I posted about home decor (ah, shame on me!).
But I’ve been thinking about this post for a while, and the inspiration finally arrived reading about the exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, which will be on till next sunday (April, 13), called “Vanities: Art of the Dressing Table”.
The vanity (also called dressing table), originated in Europe, most of all in France and England, during the 17th century and it’s one piece of furniture who tells lots about taste and habits of people who owned it.
I dream about having a beautiful vanity since I was a child, when I watched old movies and there were these elegant women sat at their tables, brushing their hair, doing the makeup, spraying perfume.
