Are You a Collector?
Collecting things—stamps, foreign coins, perfume bottles, matchbooks— can be a fun hobby. It can also be a great way to decorate your house, and to create little vignettes. Sometimes though, I feel like people need to draw the line with their collector's items; it can become a tad obsessive.
Do You Have a Vanity Table?
When I was a little girl, I dreamed about having a vanity table on which to keep my jewelry, makeup, and perfume. It seemed like such a glamorous addition to a bedroom. Of course, a pretty mirror to check my reflection in was needed as well, and it wouldn't hurt to have a fab, feminine chair.

Midday Muse: Do Glamour and Relaxation Mix?
The Neisha Crosland shimmering aluminum Hollywood Grape wallpaper adds an instant dose of glamour to this petite bathroom from House to Home, and the dark wood vanity conjures 1930s film, ushering you into the alluring Art Deco era, whilst making the most of a small space. As much as I swoon over this glam salle de bains, I think the style should be reserved for powder rooms and half bathrooms.

Roundup: Gilt by Association
Gilding, which is defined as covering something thinly with gold leaf or gold paint, can add a glamorous touch to common objects. While the luxurious look of a gilt item may be specious, it's all the while beautiful, and I can't help but want one for myself. Be it a gilt twig bowl or a perfume bottle painted with gold flowers, that metallic shimmer is every bit elegant.Trend Alert: Rose Motifs
