Every girl wants a vanity and needs a vanity. If you find one at a thrift shop or a flea market, BUY IT! I have seen so many over the years and still feel deep regret over not bringing them home with me.
From Real Simple, they use an inexpensive laptop station ($60) which folded up is only sticks out 8 inches! This is great for small apartments in the bedroom, bathroom, or if you are one of those lucky girls that have space in the closet.
Another great Ikea-hack vanity I found on msTapioca’s blog. The Ikea Ekby Gruvan wall shelf is white or black with a glass top, which makes it sleek and pretty. You can wall mount this pretty little thing, or buy legs for it also at Ikea. I would wall mount if you don’t want it to look like an Ikea overload.
Find a mirror at Home Goods, Target, any resale shop, or maybe you have one sitting around. Spray paint it to give it a unique finish.
To surround the vanity mirror, maybe hang something on the walls that will organize and display your jewelry. Thanks to Martha Stewart, here is a great Shadow Box Jewelry holder.
Also, something I found on Pinterest, you can make a Make-up Magnet board to hang above your vanity.
You can find a nice little bench anywhere from Ikea to a resale shop and reupholster the top with pretty fabric.
In the next few months, I am going to DIY a vanity, and will share lots of photos!
Now that I have room in the new place, I might just do this!! Thanks Lexi!
