Vanity tables have always held a special appeal for women. There is something magical about applying makeup and preparing for a special event while sitting at a vanity. It makes a lady feel elegant and a bit like a movie star. Hickory chair has captured this feeling in their Stephanie Vanity Desk and the companion piece, the Sue Ellen Vanity Chair.

The vanity desk has been designed in a traditional style with a bit of neoclassical thrown in. Under the hinged top you will find a hidden mirror and enough storage for all the brushes, lipsticks and compacts a lady needs. It is available in over 30 finishes from the sophisticated oxford brown to a more elegant white finish with gold detailing.

The size and design of this desk make it a very versatile piece of furniture. It is the perfect choice for a master bedroom or a ladies dressing room. If used in a young girl's bedroom, this piece is sure to become an heirloom that she will take with her when she has a home of her own. But it can also do double duty as a writing desk in a small area such as a guest room or den or even as a console table behind the sofa. The height and width also make this desk an elegant addition to an entryway or foyer.

The Sue Ellen vanity chair is just as versatile. It is the perfect size to use as a vanity stool. The tufted back and armless style make it very comfortable to sit and apply makeup or write a letter. Used on its own, this little chair will fill a corner in a spare bedroom or a small sitting room. Depending on the decor of your room, the chair can be skirted or left plain and welted around the edges for a more tailored look. Hickory Chair has a wide selection of fabrics to choose from but you can also provide your own fabric. This allows you to match the decor of your room.

This beautifully crafted desk and chair are sure to add an elegant and sophisticated touch to any room in your home.
