Elevate your makeup setup using a touch of thrifted charm with this DIY vanity organizer from our collaborator, Nancy! Join her as she embarks on a creative journey to revamp her makeup vanity into an organized oasis using budget-friendly houseware finds from her local Thrift Store in Calgary.
Platters for Perfumes
Nancy’s first thrift store gem was a stunning glass platter that instantly caught her eye. The transparent glass not only adds a touch of sophistication but also allows the beautiful bottles to take center stage. By repurposing this platter, Nancy effortlessly turned her perfume collection into a sophisticated work of art.
Mugs for Makeup Brushes
The delicate yet sturdy nature of this bowl made it the perfect vessel for her assortment of makeup brushes. The crisp white porcelain complemented the colorful handles of the brushes, creating a visually appealing and functional display. Try storing your brushes in a mug or bowl for a simple solution to keep them within easy reach while adding a touch of vintage charm to your vanity.
Plates for Jewelry
Plates are perfect those small but precious accessories that you’d like to showcase in a neat and organized manner. The transparency of the glass plate allowed each piece of jewelry to shine, and the vintage aesthetic added a touch of glamour to her vanity. Now, selecting the perfect piece of jewelry to complete your everyday look can become a delightful daily ritual.
Vases for Scrunchies
Rounding out her thrifty vanity makeover, Nancy discovered a versatile glass vase that would house her collection of scrunchies. This unexpected repurposing of a vase not only added a variety of shape to her setup but also provided a creative storage solution. The vase’s cylindrical form allowed her to easily organize and display her scrunchies, turning a simple accessory into a decorative element.
Nancy’s thrifted makeup vanity transformation stands as a testament to the hidden treasures waiting to be discovered at your local Salvation Army Thrift Store! With a bit of imagination and a commitment to sustainability, she not only organized her beauty essentials but also added a personal and sustainable touch to her space. The glass platter, porcelain bowl, glass plate, and glass vase became not only functional items but expressions of her unique style.
