I have wanting to get a new vanity for quite sometime. The one that I was using was way to small, and looking extremely cluttered. I finally found some time to go to Ikea the other day to look at what they had. I actually had a dressing table in mind that I wanted to buy, but when I saw it in person I didnt like what it looked like (it looked cheap). So I walked around Ikea brainstorming. I saw that they had an "L" shaped desk (Epedit for $50.00) coming off of a bookcase (Expedit for $69.99). I loved the way this workstation looked. And what a bonus... I already owned the bookcase, so all I had to buy was the desk portion for $50.00. I put together the desk and attached it today... and organized! I am also able to use a plastic slide organizer that I already had. It fits perfectly under the desk. (And what makes this whole set up perfect is that it's big enough for me to study there as well.) Here are a few pictures... one of the vanity that I was using before, and a few more of my set up. Hope you all love it as much as I do.

Ooooh nice!!! I love it! So much room!! I bet you are loving it!! I know I love mine. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! What kind of set up do you have? I love looking at other people's makeup set up.
ReplyDeleteHmmm....I think I'll do a post about it! =D I got my desk at Target and the mirror and lighting, I got at Lowe's. I have a fixture with three globe bulbs on each side of the mirror. I used to do my makeup in my bathroom and I had to sit on the counter...so this is like amazing to me...haha. I know, I love looking at others makeup setups too!!
ReplyDeleteI Love your new setup Rach! This is so much better and you have so much more work space + flexibility in your room! It's pretty & modern to boot too.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jamie. I love the way my room is coming together. I wish I had the time to really work on it, but school is killing me. haha. Thanks for checking out my workstation though. :)
ReplyDeleteLoving the set up! I'm thinking about doing the same thing with the Ikea bookshelf/desk combo for the office at my place. :)
ReplyDelete@Diana, thanks for checking out my set up. I do love it. I need to organize it better because the shelves are a little far away when I am sitting down. I need to move my most used makeup closer and the stuff I dont use as often in the shelves farther away. BUT I DO LOVE IT!!!
ReplyDeleteOh I love it! It looks so organized! I spy my favorite book! Making Faces! :)
ReplyDelete@Shannyn... thanks for checking out my blog. I do love my new set up (and that book, haha). Oh and by the way... I love the way you spell your name. I love it when people spell their names different.
ReplyDeleteI love the desk! When I get my new apartment, I will have something similar, hopefully :)
