Hey guys, so for my birthday, i am going to ask my parents for a vanity, for my room. i am super organized and i will appreciate the help!
I need help on looking for a vanity that is not that expensive.
i will probably have to order online because i don't have an Ikea, and wall mart near where i live, all of them are way to far!
i am specifically looking for one that is black with one drawer
in this video i found on you tube is what i would like

if i were you, i'd look around to see if you could find one you like, no matter what the color may be & see if you can paint it. i turned an old computer desk hanging around our house into my little vanity/laptop desk. & blew my birthday money on make up! (:

i checked ikea online and they dont deliver, it does not let me buy online and the MALM one above they have it but in white

I'm more of a do-it-yourself kinda girl. Maybe go to a thrift store near you or second hand shop and find something that resembles a vanity. Maybe an office desk and buy a big mirror to sit on top. Paint it or change the knobs to some really fancy ones. I think it'll add alot of character & probably be way cheaper too. That's what I would do :-)

thrifting for a desk is a GREAT idea. My vanity is an old vintage desk that was my great grandmothers. We recently painted it white and changed the knobs and it looks beautiful. Goodwill might be a good place to look, and you could probably paint a desk or vanity black. Here is my desk after we finished redoing it :D

Wow that is really pretty, its a great place for makeup! you should do a makeup collection!. i just recently bought the mobile organizer from office depot, and all i need is a small vanity with a mirror and a chair 

Thank you! I'm going to be filming a makeup collection on my youtube channel wen i get to 100 susbscribers ( if you're interested http://www.youtube.com/user/misshannahmaggie?feature=mhee) Oh I used to really want that organizer before I got this desk. haha. I guess goodwill might still help. If you have an ikea nearby you could get the malm desk in stores (thats the one I wanted before) Ikea might also have black ones similar to that. The malm one is actually really long I believe.  

I did a little search on ikeas site for you, would any of these work? ^_^ http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/80133402 http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/80133402

yeah i subscribed to your channel, and i dont have an ikea near me and they dont even deliver but i think its kind of expensive since i would have to buy the mirror and chair separate when there are some vanities that come with all that together for one price. i was in love with that dressing table until i realized it was really long and i dont have space for it in my room, i think ill live with the 10 drawer mobile organizer, i really like it, and i got it on sale too from office depot for 40 bucks, and they deliver extremely fast!, and to build it was like soo simple
