One feature that I really love in a house is a dressing room - a little private space thats all your own to make yourself pretty or just escape from it all! I think for my own I would like to have my desk in there surrounded by cupboards housing all my clothes -perhaps a small tv and a window looking out to a garden. I guess what I'm really after is a den / closet!
They can be masculine or feminine as seen above I especially love mirrored closet doors like these below.

Do you think it's silly to have a dressing room like this or important, obviously a luxury? I suppose there are many places one can escape to -where is your refuge?

A friend of mine has one like this and I always ask if we can play dress-up there! It is like having your very own shop of serendipity. I want one! It is after all so grown up!
the last 2 pictures are absolutely AWESOME!!!!!!! wow, what I wouldn't give for one of those...and I think it would be fabulous to have a dressing room....full of shoes.
I would give anything to have a proper dressing room. In my new apartment I had an anguished inner argument over turning the guest room into a dressing room or setting it up for guests. The latter won, alas. But things might change.
AAL -I thought about that situation. I think I would outfit the room as a dressing room with a daybed for guests. I suppose then few times I had a guest I could just take the clothing I need for the length of their stay to my room! Then again, I suppose that depends on how often you have guests and if that is feasible or not!
My dear friend has a beautiful dressing rm with light wood cabinetry and three way mirror. There is a steamer and iron in cabinet, and even a little flat screen tv to watch from her settee. The size is about the same as an average bedrm. Me? I use my guest rm as dressing rm per btc as my cottage is tiny. A very fun post. Ginny
My dear friend Susie has a dressing room--her husband built it for her. She's a wonderfully witty, eccentric, British actress here in Pittsburgh, and I lived with her when I was in my early twenties. She taught me that it's perfectly acceptable to have glamour and posh in your everyday life.
Every time I'm at her home, I ask to see her dressing room. It never gets old!
with love from Pittsburgh...
I would kill for a dressing room like this! These are lovely. I do have a big walk-in closet that I use, but it hardly compares. *sigh* -Julia
I once was in a house that had a closet to die for - the house was to die for - but the closet - omg. all behind gorgeous little french painted doors. so feminine, so exquisite. it was octaganol I think - or maybe just oval - I can't remember that detail. It was the first time I was in a house with a closet like that before. breathtaking!
Sounds like everyone has friends with lovely dressing rooms -time for us to work on getting their own! L, I thik there is a place for glamour and posh. if it embaresses you, then a private dressing room is the perfect place to indulge!
ooh - to have a dressing room! Love the ones you've selected. Michele
I would kill for one, too... At my old house, which was 9.5' wide, i used the second bedroom as a closet/dressing room. then i had to convert it into a guest room, and mourned the loss of my space.
Ooo!
Would love to have more room in my closet, and these are to dream about!
Thank you for sharing these. :)
