Vanity Perfect For Girlie Treasures

I have a friend who is in the process of re-decorating her daughter's room.  The little bunnies and kittens that adorned her walls are not longer appropriate for a young girl turning 10 years old.  Not wanting to go with the trendy Hannah Montana look or the ever popular High School Musical decor, my friend's daughter opted for the shabby chic cottage look. 


I immediately thought of this beautiful white 1930's vanity.  In it's original condition, this piece is stunning. It won't be long before a piece like this is adorn with jewelry, hair brushes and trinkets.  The perfect showplace for a girl's treasures.  This vanity is available at the Pink Pig for $375.
