Green Girly Girls: Make a Sex in the City-Inspired DIY Mirrored Vanity

Luckily, being green and girly isn’t mutually exclusive—especially with vintage being so en vogue. Eco-friendly females can dress in whimsical, thrift shop finds, bedazzle themselves in estate gems and baubles and even furnish their boudoir in a way that Carrie Bradshaw would approve.

Case and point? This adorable, DIY Girly Glam Vanity where eco-chicks can store their all natural makeup and perfumes, bamboo brushes, and other chotchkies.

If you’ve been dreaming of a more luxurious makeup routine, skip the ecological and pocketbook costs of new furniture and opt for a used Craigslist piece that you can pretty up yourself.

Bonus eco-points if you finish it using Low-VOC paint or slightly more sustainable spray paints.

Why Buy and Use Bamboo Products? 20 Sep 2008 \| COMMENTS Bamboo is one of the most eco-friendly building materials there is—it's sturdy and solid, yet it grows extremely fast and is therefore rapidly renewable. (Hint hint: that means it's often cheap to buy, too) Plus, it has a stark, elegant that will likely blend into the decor of your home. So it’s really no wonder we're seeing more and more bamboo products enter the marketplace—which is good news for eco-enthusiasts everywhere.	{ }
