Dresser Decor (2)
by Guest Writer Petite Ndiho
Dresser mirrors are commonly called vanity mirrors – guess why; because the mirror is where we look at ourselves most. King Solomon said, “vanity of vanities, all is vanity,” and it could be a good thing to remember this verse while looking in the vanity mirror because our beauty is only skin-deep and time-deep.
I used to wonder what people did before mirrors were invented. I ask myself if the stories of looking at their reflections in the rivers and ponds are true, and if people were as narcissistic as they are today. The mirror is an important part of many people’s lives. Women, especially, need them for routines that are carried out as soon as they wake up and right before they go to sleep. We have to choose the right mirrors for us – and for our dressers.
Before you go mirror-shopping:
1. Measure the width of your dresser. Few things are as disappointing as getting home from a whole day of shopping only to discover that the item you were so sure about at the shop is too large, too small or just won’t sit where you want it to.
2. Choose the quality. The higher the quality, the more it will cost. Budget appropriately and remember it is better to spend a little more to get something that will not last than to scrimp and save and find a mirror that will be shaky within days, risking breakage.
3. Because we are dealing with bedroom dressers, we should go with beveled-edge mirrors. Chrome edges and frameless mirrors are much easier to clean, but more suited for bathrooms and powder rooms.
4. Different shapes give different ideas: Oval is more quaint and square or round are more contemporary.
Here are some ideas to get you started:
Have a good month!
