I was 9 years old and it was also of the kidney shape variety. I often imagine having another with beautifully smocked silk - richly gathered as the skirt, and a beautiful intricate silver standing mirror on the top! You have inspired me to look for one (I have used my bathroom vanity for the past years)... and perhaps the smocked silk will still be a possibility!

I cannot wait to see what fabric you pick to go in your new space. <br /><br />Your chaise looks great and the umbrella...you are on to something!<br /><br />How is the packing? Is Mr. H being helpful? Have you "found" some wonderful treasures while packing?<br /><br />Enjoy your time with Mr. H and your remaining time in England!<br /><br />Thank you for taking us along on your adventures.<br /><br />Oh, how are the girls doing on their trip?

I agree on lighting, I always add windows to any dressing table area in houses I design, otherwise we might get too heavy-handed with the make-up. It is so lovely to sit while doing those vanity things like make-up and hair. So much more civilized and organized than standing at a bathroom sink.
