How to Make Dressing Tables
- 1). Prepare an unfinished, wood desk. Sand it down to smooth out any rough edges, then use a dust cloth to remove any dust or debris. Prepare a wall mirror with an unfinished frame. Sand it down as well and also swipe it with a dust cloth.
- 2). Stain the desk and mirror frame with a dark wood stain. Place the desk and mirror outside and brush the stain onto all wooden parts with a paintbrush. Let dry and then apply second coat. Let the second coat dry.
- 3). Bring the pieces inside and place in position. Push the desk up against a wall in the closet or dressing room, and hang the wall mirror directly above it using a hammer and nails.
- 4). Place an assortment of trays and dividers into the drawers of the desk. In these, organize necklaces, rings, scarves and belts. Find an antique silver tray and place it on top of the desk. Place a few perfume bottles on the tray, and an antique hand mirror and brush set.
