It's definitely a mission trying to come up with a new vanity set up! I'm currently trying to work out which muji combo will suit me best and leave me with some room to grow too. Don't expect my mirror to be completed any time soon (I swear he spends most of his DIY time sighing and scratching his head instead of doing any actual work!) but I've asked him to take some pics along the way of making it!

Hi just looked at my ledsjo lighting OMG no wires came with none at all Omg the lady in ikea months ago told me that's the best lighting to go with And because my mirror is a kojala one it goes straight flush to wall Hubby's asking me where does he put the wires :( omg Anyhow I have gone off the idea ATM I cannot be bothered with it It can stay down on the floor for now Not important x

Ghost chair is so expensive for me. Mine is $34 chair from ikea. It is one of their swivel chair. It has pink plastic on top and white legs. Because my table is so tall so this chair with adjusable height will be fit. I want it match my white table so i bought the white sheep rug from ikea for 12.99$ and the fur pillow from ross for 5$ For decoration. I love your vanity too.

Really?Dont you have ikea in your area? I check it online and yes rug is really expensive. Ikea has the one for $25 with fluffier and softer fur but i guess the $12 one is not that bad. If it is too expensive in your area you can just buy a white stool which probably cheaper and still very cute, you can slide it under your table when you dont use to save space.

Oh don't get me wrong we have a ikea but few miles out I can shop online with a delievery fee lol But everything in uk is too over priced See 12 dollars is maybe £8 here I bet the rug is like £18 pounds over here Hun That's all I really love your bits I may have a look later on ikea site )

Oh i see. Yes ikea delivery fee is ridiculous. They charge delivery 99$ for 20$ chair here in us. And it is only 15 mins drive away. I heard that uk has expensive makeup too. However, i still think ikea is the cheapest place for furniture because everywhere else will be double their price. If my table wasnt too tall, i will def so with the stool since it will be more elegent look. Like those stool with leather on top. Ikea has one chair called tobias clear chair which 79$ here in us, i think it look very cool too. They could be alone or with rug over. Like these picture.

I'm going to be getting the Musik wall lights just wanted to know what Light bulbs do i get for it ? I'm in the UK and all the ones I keep finding are warm white, and don't you need cool daylight light bulbs for the best makeup application? Are the light bulbs they recommend in IKEA any good ?

But ikea may do other bulbs have you looked on the website ? There's a difference bewteen the ones your going to buy and my one I have in ikea the lady told me to go for the other ones x

Oh have you got the ledsjo one that already comes with the lights ? I was looking at that one as it comes with LED lighting but again it's warm lighting, I didn't know If the other one was easier as you could change the bulbs i did have a quick look in IKEA but noticed most of them are warm white 2700k. It's so hard to find daylight bulbs in the UK :( x
