My Vanity Table Decorating Project

Here's my vanity table!

It's still a work in progress but I want

To share what I have accomplished

Definitely this is a vanity table on a budget

Ikea was the hero of this decorating story

But then again, isn't Ikea always the hero of any

Budget decorating story?

This is how it all began

I added some Christmas lights because

I felt like I could use some more light

But they didn't work too well

It looks like they should have by looking at this picture

I moved the lights to the bottom

And draped this doily tablecloth over the table

But I wasn't much pleased

It's not on there anymore

That one spotlight that I bought from Ikea

Works wonders

I don't need anything more

All of my hair supplies fit nicely inside this box

I like how everything is inside a box and nothing

Is left to sit on top of the table

I loathe clutter

I wanted to be able to turn on

The lights of the table with convenience and ease

I first used doubled-sided to tape

This power outlet strip 

Onto the bottom of the table and it worked 

Great until I turned on the heater and the tape

Began to come off

I hot-glued it next and that has worked just fine

Double-sided tape is my go-to adhesive

Growing up I witnessed my grandmother

Put hot-glue on everything

I know other people who use gorilla glue

As their go-to adhesive

And my most hated item: Velcro. Ugh.

I understand the convenience of Velcro but

I'm a girl that likes to wear tights year round and

Velcro is the enemy to my tights

Anyway, there you go!
