Makeup Storage {Part 2}...

  Welcome back to Part {2} of my makeup storage series. You can go see Part {one} of my makeup storage series HERE. Okay, so while hanging out with a few girlfriends this weekend we came across this awesome blog (can't remember the name, so upset!) With an amazing makeup storage idea. Here is my version of the magnetic board makeup storage....

A magnetic makeup board. love.  As you have seen in my previous post Here, you saw my new Closet makeover into my new "Makeup Vanity Closet". This magnetic board makeup storage is perfect for my new vanity closet. I put most of my favorite makeup items on the two boards I made.

{What You Will Need....}

Fabric ( I used a shower curtain I got on clearance @ Target for $5.00!!), Magnets (Lowes $2.99), Sheets of metal (Lowes $4.00 per), & a hot glue gun.

I simply attached a magnet with hot glue to the back of my most used makeup products. To make the metal boards I cut the fabric (Shower Curtain) a little larger than the metal sheet. After it was cut I folded the sides over & hot glued the fabric to the sheet. 

Maybe I will add A frame to the boards? We shall see....

This is so easy for me to be getting ready at my vanity & reach over to grab the makeup product I need. I love this!! My vanity closet is coming together. Remember to go check out the closet makeover HERE. Also go to Christine's blog & check out her version of the Magnetic Makeup board here.

I'm so impatient. anyways bon voyage... & look forward to seeing more blog posts this weekend!! 

Bathroom Closet Re-Do...

    Recently I began having big ideas for our bathroom closet. Yeah, I really do think about those kind of things. It's a really big closet for inside a bathroom. I am not complaining about the size, but the amount of shelves was unnecessary for just my husband & I. What the bathroom was lacking was a nice area for me to get ready at. I've always wanted a makeup vanity in the Master Bedroom, but a vanity just wouldn't fit ideally. That is, until now! After removing a few shelves, painting the inside of the closet, adding molding to the shelves, & a few other changes, I now have my own little room to get ready in...

My New "Vanity Closet"

Before During....

I forgot to take a before picture. Of course. I got really carried away with taking all the shelves down, but here it is with the shelves taken down & me patching the holes. This was also a great opportunity for me to do some "Spring Cleaning" & get rid of a lot of this stuff shown in the pictures.

I love that the mirror takes up almost the whole back wall of the closet.

I love that even though I removed shelves, there is still a lot storage.

I added molding to the front of the shelves to give it a more polished look. The two boxes are "His" & "Hers" for all of our bathroom products. The two plastic drawer containers are for my makeup storage.

The inside of the closet is the same soft gray as the rest of the bathroom.

I am installing battery puck lights under the bottom shelf to better illuminate the mirror. 

This is the vanity as you have seen in my past post HERE & the mirror that I re-did HERE. No all I need is to find a cute vanity chair for my vanity closet.

The storage: Two Tan Boxes, Target 9.00. & you can find the makeup storage containers at any Walmart, Target, exd....

So there is my "Vanity Closet" Re-do.  I have a few more things to add & still work on, but I wanted to show you the re-do as of now. I wish the lighting was better in my bathroom so the pictures would have been better quality... but you get the idea. What do you think of it as of now? What have you been working on this weekend?

Makeup Storage {Part 1}...

   I have decided to do a series on {makeup storage}. I am such a girly girl, and I know a lot of you are as well.. so let's organize those makeup drawers!! I have a passion for makeup & true confession: I have A LOT of makeup. I love collecting & trying out new products, & let's face it the cosmetic industry is constantly putting out new products that I am tempted to try... not my fault. So I am in need of good makeup storage, so I thought, why not make it cute? {Part 1} is how I store my makeup brushes....

I made these {Makeup Brush Storage} Jars for my new vanity.

I got all my items to make these {Makeup Brush Storage} Jars at my local Michael's. Two jars (I chose a square shape), letter cut outs (That were on Clearance!), a hot glue gun, & colerfill (tiny clear beads).

This is sadly not all my makeup brushes, but I wanted to just but my most used ones in my jars. I will show you in another post how I store my other makeup brushes.

The beads help the brushes stand up strait so they are always easy to find & easily accessible. 

I hot glued the letters to the jars. It seemed to hold really well, but a specific glue for glass might work even better.

I hope you liked my part {one} of my makeup storage series. How do you store your makeup brushes? I hope you all are having a great week.. It's Wednesday tomorrow, ALMOST the weekend. Let me know if you use this idea!! I would love to see your makeup storage tips, go link them up on Liz Marie Blog Facebook Page. Thanks for stopping by...

A Lovely Vanity...

   In the middle of my bedroom "re-do", that is on hold until I pick out a new wall color, I came up with a fantastic idea for our master bathroom. We have a walk-in closet in our bathroom with lots and lots of storage, which is somewhat unnecessary for our little family of two. My idea is to remove a few of the shelves in the closet & put the vanity inside. I am so excited for this reveal! A makeup vanity in a closet.. My own little space to get ready everyday.. Can't wait to show you! In the mean time, I found the perfect vanity, and by perfect I mean it fit in the closet.. nothing else was perfect about it.. until now....

This is the vanity that will be in the closet... I've fallen in love with this powder blue vanity. Here is the vanity before....

I had to fix the drawers, and there were a ton of little flaws in the wood that needed to be fixed, & it's still not perfect, but I like things like that. I fell in love with the legs on this vanity... Other than the perfect size that's why I chose this vanity.

To achieve this color I layered many different blues and greens. I am really happy with the final color, it's exactly how I wanted it. A somewhat "Powdery Blue Green". The color reminds me a little of Tiffany Blue, perfect for a girly vanity.

The mirror has a lot to be desired. Since this is an antique, the mirror has seen better days.

I decided to keep the original hardware. I felt it looked best & being painted the blue color they blend in nicely.

Hope you all enjoyed my Makeup vanity "makeover".  & Thank You all for all the wonderful birthday wishes  this past friday. My weekend was wonderful, my amazing friends here in NC & all my friends and family back home in MI made my birthday wonderful even though the hubby was out of town. What have you been working on this weekend? Go link up your projects on Liz Marie Blog Facebook! I would love to see what you are working on... Hope you all had a fantastic weekend!!
