Re: What's on your bedroom dresser?

I have too much stuff on it!  I have an off white lace dresser scarf.  I have a filigree tray filled with a lot of perfumes and scents.  I have an antique pitcher and bowl which my mother made for me in ceramics class ages ago.  I have a small decorative wooden box with trinkets in it.  I have a clear pink lidded glass dish with a little fawn on the top which was gifted to me from my favorite aunt.  An antique kewpie doll from my mother.  A lamp which has cut glass colors in the base and a night light.  I think that's about it!!!

Re: What's on your bedroom dresser?

I decorate throughout the house with fans & little stuffed rabbits. My dresser has a galley-type rail, so some fans & rabbits are behind that rail on the dresser.

 

There's also a little jewelry box and a jar of Perlier cream, and some smaller jewelry pouches. (I have a large standing jewelry box, which I hardly ever go into.) The ones on the dresser are the pieces I wear the most.

 

This is not a decoration, just a necessity for the time being - a small flat TV, which is very soon to be discarded, as soon as we can find an unobtrusive stand we like for the bigger TV.

 

I don't want a TV at all, only this is one of the rooms that has the TV hookup. So, when DH wants a different show, this is where he goes, and I get the regular TV room.

Re: What's on your bedroom dresser?

Currently we're using my Dad's parents' bedroom suite which comprises a chest of drawers, a tall bureau and G'Mom's dressing table and bench seat. Not sure of the wood, it almost looks like the old fashioned burl. I know there was a mirror that attached to the back of the dresser but we don't have it. There is a lovely mirror attached to the dressing table though. G'Mom's cedar chest is in another bedroom holding sweaters of mine.

 

So on top - I am not a minimalist either as I do have jewelry boxes stacked on the dressing table as well the complete set of an oval mirror (plate), a tricket box and a brush, comb and hand mirror set. All of these pieces have a decorative embroidered flower pattern all protected under a clear covering. Of course a small clock radio there and my Dad's rosary beads. 

A lot of trickets and small boxes adorn both the bureau and chest of drawers, a small tv on the bureau, a lovely stained glass table lamp, and most recently two favorite perfumes, Estee lauder Youth Dew and  Guerlain Samsara both with beautiful scents.

Re: What's on your bedroom dresser?

We have beautiful antique maple bureaus that my husband had growing up.  They are simple in design but I love them.  I keep the tops fairly cleared with one small lamp on each.  Mine also has 2 small framed photos of my deceased parents, a small Colleen Lopez jewelry box for everyday pieces and a tiny wooden chest with my beloved cats ashes Smiley Sad

Re: What's on your bedroom dresser?

I have an orchid plant on the left side, and a small lamp and a photo on the right side.

 

I dislike clutter.  Anything more on that dresser and I wouldn't be happy about it.

I am really a minimalist I guess.  Woman Embarassed  

 

*I have a ivory colored large jewelry box from Pottery Barn;

*2 big round pink flameless candles on silver bases;

*a small crystal lamp; and a

4 Bethlehem Lights candles (no lamps in my bedroom) and a cordless phone.
