Published on October 15th, 2015 | I was planning to surprise my girlfriend for a long time with a custom dressing table and I finally did it. This makeup vanity complies with all the requirements that, in my opinion, this kind of furniture should have: • Storage space (as much as possible • Not very pricey • Handy (no need to stand to take anything) • Movable (this is not a must, but is nice to have it) Following this idea, and using IKEA web page a lot, I came up with a first design. But I realized that space at mirror sides was very “empty”, so I modified it to this. Then, after buying all the items for the hack (at that moment I realized that the table bar had already the holes for 4 legs, so I changed that from the original design), I started to assemble them. This is a 3-step job: • Mirror and drawers So, first things first, the standing (movable) structure: I drilled out 6 holes in each drawer unit top. They are metallic, therefore be patient and use an appropriate drill bit.

This part has to be built upside down; I started screwing the drilled tops to the table bar (it is very important that use washers here) and the adjustable legs. When tops and legs are screwed to the table is time to assemble the rest of the drawer castors. It is quite straight forward, just remember that the tops are in the bottom and vice versa.mid century chair and ottoman for sale After this, standing structure is ready to put it down so it can support its weight itself. pine dining chairs ebayThen adapt the legs to the height of the castors (piece of advice, use a spirit level) and set up the drawers of the castors. dining table and chairs for sale brisbane

As you can imagine this is a simple table with drawers that could be used for a plethora of purposes. But this is a dressing table and it needs loads of space, so let’s add some additional drawers.Before assembling the mirror cabinet we will put a shelf with drawers screwed to the top of the table. First step would be drill out the shelf’s bottom along with the table and screw them together.tiffany chairs for sale china Assembling the rest of the shelf it is just a matter of following the instructions.best dental chair company in india As you can see in the picture, the shelf is 1 cm smaller than the table. dining room chairs bulkI have no solution for it, I just leave 0,5cms of difference at each side.cheap teak dining chairs

In this case, there is no problem if you want to assemble the cabinet first and then drill it out and screw it to the shelf. And we have arrived to the most delicate part, the side shelves. In this step the spirit level is absolutely mandatory. First thing is screw the small legs to each shelf. Then we screw the brackets (you can use 1 bracket per shelf but I found easier to level it with 2 brackets) to the cabinet and to the shelf. chair cover rentals twin citiesFirst you do the bottom ones and then the ones on top.best rocking chair for nursery uk Finally, we just need to light it up. IMHO, a double-sided tape LED strip is the most elegant solution. I bought them in IKEA but if you want “cool white” light you will need to search somewhere else. • 2 drawer unit on castors, 102.510.45 • 1 table bar, 602.511.37

It was messy, unorganised and squished into a teeny tiny black Argos dressing table and a set of Muji acrylic drawers. When I first got my Muji drawers I was really impressed with them but as my makeup collection grew and grew, everything was overflowing and before I knew it I was surrounded by a swarm of makeup and various other beauty products. With this being said, I knew I had to find a new form of storage. I tried my hand at wicker baskets and boxes but was never satisfied with how it looked. I'd always dreamed (yes, I really am that sad) of having a big white dressing table with a glass top after seeing similar ones on other blogs and Youtube channels.

For me personally white dressing tables look very serene, clean and classy so I knew when I got around to buying a new one, I'd be replacing my small, dark and dingy black one with a pretty white one. After doing lots of research online to find my perfect dressing table, I decided on a high gloss white one with three large drawers down either side. I thought it was fabulous but the £300+ price tag was certainly off putting. However, I ordered it regardless and patiently awaited for it to arrive. Whilst waiting for the postman to deliver said dressing table, I found myself watching Estee's (Essie Button if you don't already know) Youtube video about her makeup collection (you can find that video  ) and I fell head over heels in love with her dressing table. It was perfect and exactly what I'd been looking for. She said in the video it was the   so I quickly headed over to the IKEA website to have a search for it. Much to my surprise, it only cost £95 and I knew there and then that this was the one I wanted.

Within minutes the £300+ dressing table had been cancelled and I was on my way to IKEA to hunt down the MALM. If you hadn't already guessed from the bazillions of photos above, I managed to hunt it down and I couldn't be happier with it. Its a fairly large dressing table (almost twice the size of my previous one) and it has a large pull out drawer and a glass surface. I think it looks very sleek, neat and tidy and I couldn't wait to set about organising my makeup and making it look pretty. I decided I wanted to keep the surface of the dressing table looking relatively simple and uncluttered so I tried to keep things on the surface to a minimum. On the left hand side I've kept a couple of  Muji drawers for palettes that won't fit into the big drawer, and all of my current skincare (and a couple of hair goodies) sit on top. I tend to switch my skincare up all the time so this is a good area for me to keep things I'm using regularly. I then store all of my makeup brushes next to the Muji drawers and I've separated them into 'face' and 'eye' pots.

The face pot is a glass vase from Ikea and the eye pot is a   from Muji, both as cheap as chips. I then keep a mirror in the middle (a dressing table wouldn't be complete without one of those) and on the right hand side I keep another Muji pot, this time the  to store my cotton pads, a flower for some added girlyness and a few daily essentials like deodorant, Caudalie cleaning water and hairspray. I've also popped my favourite 'Miss Dior' perfume on there as the Moving on the large drawer, I decided this would be the perfect place to store all of my makeup. I also picked up the  (£75) when I was mooching around Ikea to store all of my jewellery and other beauty goodies (hair care, skin care, nail polishes and all those other lovely beauty bits) which you can see in the corner of my first photo but I'll save that for another post or I'll be here all day. When it came to organising my makeup into the drawer,  I wanted to buy some partitions I could pop inside to keep my makeup in organised sections.
