Vanity

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.

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!!

  7. @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!!!
