The Vanities of the Princesses.

It was an ordinary idea, brought on by Mom finding one vanity, that I thought was maybe too small. But we could totally make some that would be better.... and match. And cost less. And, you know, be fun.
So we started with two end tables from an online yard sale site (10.00).

And added (from the dollar store):

6 star lights                    (6.00)
2 mirrors                        (2.00)
a total of eight drawers  (8.00)
two four packs of bins   (2.00)
two waste baskets          (1.00)
touch lamps                    (2.00)
two packs of batteries    (2.00)
'trays'                              (2.00)
can be made from  platters or other types of trays at dollar store.

from Home Depot:

2 cans of spray paint      (8.00)

We sprayed the tables outside for ventilation. We set up the arrangement while at school on the last day of birthukkah, or Eve's birthday. We spent about two hours nailing up mirrors, lights, and gluing together drawers. We realized these were closer to the ground than imagined and that milk crates would make great seats, later we will spray those with the left over paint and perhaps make a cushioned board or just grab some couch pillows. Well, the girls are pretty happy. And that makes Momma happy.

we added to the finished project:

a brush mirror set from Walgreen's (2.00)
foam rollers                                     (2.00)
one nail file each                             (1.00)
one lip gloss each                            (1.00)
one nail grooming set each              (2.00)
a package of hair elastics   (split)    (1.00)
a set of barrettes                 (split)    (1.00)


I'm not great at mathing, but I think that's $55.00 and that's for two! Made of wood!

The girls added some personal touches right away, a Chubby Puppy, a Hello Kitty flashlight, only a girl knows exactly what extras she needs at her vanity.
