"Home again, home again, jiggety-jig!"
Coming back home from a big night out, all dressed in your heraldic finery, it's time to reverse the dressing process and start taking off everything that you had put on earlier.
But to aid you in this task, it's helpful to have appropriate places to put everything as you remove them.
For smaller items, an armorial dish like the one below, decorated with your coat of arms, on top of a dresser or table is entirely suitable.
For larger items, an armorially decorated and/or carved box or chest is a great way to store and organize (as well as keep dust free) your heraldic accoutrements.
And finally, because it's been a long night and you deserve to relax in comfort, a pair of comfy slippers, embroidered with your coat of arms, is a great way to end the night. (The pair shown here belonged to actor Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. and thus are embroidered with his coat of arms. But what a great display of heraldry!)
This ends our posts on how to use your coat of arms in the dressing room. But I'm sure that I have probably missed some other ways to use heraldry here. What do you think I might have accidentally omitted?
