How To Style Your Dresser

Style Your Vanity

When we moved, the first thing I wanted to organize was my dresser. My closet was a close second, but I also use my dresser as a vanity. So in order for my morning routine to go quickly and smooth,  I wanted to have all my products organized and easily accessible.

My goal was to keep it feminine and clean. And though I don’t feel 100% done with this project, I did want to share a quick look on how to update your vanity or dresser.

1. I love prints and books. They are a fun way to add character and personality to your space. I wanted something that went with our decor and would compliment the neutral colors throughout our room and bathroom.

2. My makeup was always my biggest battle. I had a habit where I would just toss everything in my makeup bag..or drawer, which was fine until I couldn’t find what I was looking for or until the lid came off and makeup would spill…it was just a mess. I wanted something to display my makeup in a pretty yet functional way. This Monogramed Acrylic Box from White Elephant Designs is a life savor for those who love organization.

3. Finally, I added some extra items on my python tray.  I wanted it to be practical rather than cluttered, so I put things I actually use on a daily basis. This was a fun way to add a personal touch and still look organized.

    I also have all my make up in acrylic drawers. It saves so much time being able to see exactly where everything is in the morning!
