      Paint the vanity table your daughter’s favorite color.

      Use decorative stickers or hand-paint a special design on the top of the vanity table. You could also use stencils to add the girl's favorite design shapes, such as stars or hearts, or create a floral border around the top of the vanity or on the legs of the piece.

      Cut a length of lace or tulle to staple around the edge of the vanity table. If the vanity does not contain drawers, choose a long length of material to reach to the floor to create concealed storage space and enhance the table's overall look.
