Hello Lovely-
Welcome, you have found one of my most popular posts. I’d love to have you stick around and you tell me how you found me. Let’s hang out – I bet you’re a good egg. Now, please enjoy my words.
Be good. Be safe. Be lovely.

One of The Colonel Hoof Hearted’s many nicknames is “Tranny Pug.” This nickname came to fruition when he was a baby. When I would sit at my vanity, particularly in the morning, The Colonel would whine and claw at me to get in my lap. Then, he would sit in my lap and calmly watch me put on my makeup. Sometimes he would sit and admire himself and my actions in the mirror.
I haven’t sat at my vanity much since we’ve moved in our home and I miss it. The other day I moved some things around and sat at it to get ready. Sure enough, The Colonel came running into the room and put a solitary paw on my leg and looked at me. I smiled at him and he jumped right up. My sweet lil’ Tranny Pug.
He looks at me so lovingly.
Dad, leave us alone. Mommy and me time.
After looking at these photos I have realized I need to work on my vanity space. I enjoy the glamorous and luxiourous feeling it provides. My current vanity is a mirrored writing desk I purchased from Target about two years ago. I love mirrored furniture. Here was my mirrored inspiration.
This vanity is from Graham and Green. Sadly, it is considered fragile and they do not ship fragile items to the United States.
This lovely vanity is from Katy Sullivan Designs. Oh to have all those drawers.
Oh yeah, I love leucite furniture as well. This photo was found on the blog Alkemie.
Maybe I should get a leucite vanity. I understand this completely goes against my earlier statement about drawers. However, I love this photo and I’ve tried to come up with a reason for needing CB2′s peekaboo clear console.
Sadly, I think this console is not coming to live with me. Right now I need to focus on organizing my vanity. I definitely have more than it’s two little drawers can hold. I’m sure there will be an upcoming post on it updated.
DIY! DIY! Martin’s sister got the The Big-Ass Book of Crafts for Christmas and one of the projects is making over tables. You’re talented! I say buy a table and chair and make a DIY vanity that’s exactly what you want (or charge to make other people vanities until you can afford the one you want!).
[...] You may know me from such adventures as “Happy New Year, You Don’t Get to Crap in Your Own House,” “Dammit, That’s Enough Pillows,” “You’re Lucky You’re Not a Plant, or Else I’D KILL YOU,” and “I love you Colonel, and I accept you for who you are.” [...]
