However, one night my husband suggested if I wanted to get my own desk, which I then asked if I could get a vanity instead.  I did not want to get something too big due to our limited amount of space, so I found this small cute vanity instead!

Amazon is and always will be my #1 place to purchase huge items.  Their prices and shipping are amazing.

I ordered the Queen Anne Style 3-Piece Vanity Set with Stool for $149.97 in Espresso.  This style also comes in Cherry, Brown, and Gray.  Since my husband and I already have an Amazon Prime account, we qualified for a free 2-day shipping.

  • Simple Assembly Required; Set includes table, stool, and mirror.

Isn’t it gorgeous?!  I love that it fits just perfectly in its little area.  Also, I am proud to say that I put together this vanity set all by myself.  My husband was very impressed.  It was quick and easy. Each piece were wrapped carefully to ensure they did not arrive damaged.  I just wish the screws and washers were packaged a little better.

I love the stool (and so does my daughter).  She always tries to climb on it.

Overall, this was a great and affordable purchase.  It is just right for our living situation, but I can assure you that I will purchase a much larger vanity once  we are out of the military and purchase our first and permanent house one day.  This vanity is sturdy, durable, and classy looking.  I have no qualms ordering it.  It was a great investment for this beauty blogger.

I will have another post up showing my makeup setup, so be on the lookout for that.

What are your thoughts?

Amazon is my best friend!  Thanks to them, I found my Seamless Tabletop Background with free shipping.  Depending on what your needs are, there are five sizes available.  The 20x20x12 for $135 was perfect for me.  I must admit the price is very steep especially for this plastic-like product, but it has made my product pictures so much better.

I like that I could use this anywhere in my house with good or bad lighting and still get great pictures.  It is a bit bulky but very lightweight so you could carry it anywhere.
