DI-wise and Vanity

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I have a Vanity area in my master which is really cute. It is original to the house and I am always trying to think of the perfect set-up for it...but I am often stumped. I recovered this little storage ottoman and bought a cute tray from HomeGoodies but It still needs some help. I think one day I will wallpaper it and change the mirror but for now this is what I got.  I think the current need to not feel like an ugly man most days might be the driving force behind the flowers and girly things everywhere. Here's a question, Am I alone in thinking that motherhood, a seemingly womanly thing, has left me feeling quite manly on most days. Talking about poop and dirt and various bodily functions...it's rarely glamorous. Anyways, here is the ottoman before.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnTYt_5DBpz1XzanHE4u208L5Na_D1SqloMPHTVHO4l6-RUZWalKWOV3LvV2UQB1f5Fy7i2wscMHwz-Mc0jUtnY1h5x1TuHl3K5b75AiN2iSqZaZ8K7wlDnYBp-VHLHQwArRi0OMZkEsDg/s1600/IMG_0896.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;
