I bought this vanity at Ikea for $100.00, the lamp from Kirkland’s for $40.00, the chair from Kirklands on clearance for $30.00, the mirror from Home Goods for $40.00 and then put my odds and ends together to create a makeup station that would work for me.  

My trip to Marshall’s proved to be just what I needed because I found these lipstick holders in the clearance isle for $4.00 a piece.  The turquoise vase came from Home Goods in MO but I can’t remember how much it was.  I filled it with glass beads and now use it to hold all of my makeup brushes.  I bought plastic storage containers at Ikea to put inside the vanity desk to hold all of my makeup.  

The accessories in this bathroom were the jumping off point for my color scheme.  I had thought about buying all new accessories but what I had in storage worked and again, didn’t want to spend a lot of money.  Everything here came from Walmart when I bought my very first house (many years ago).  If you have never experienced owning your first home, there is nothing like it.  It is an incredible and amazing feeling of accomplishment!  The picture above the toilet was a gift from my sister when I bought my house and the angel is from Thomas a few Christmas’ ago.

I don’t like laying my curling irons out and having the cords tangled or worrying about them catching something on fire.  I had this metal and glass garbage can from years ago that I had saved and this is where I store them when not in use.

I bought these candle sticks in MO at an estate sale for $2.00 a piece and found the green topiary balls at Marshalls for $6.00.  The filing cabinet they are sitting on was originally black and I spray painted it white.  The other items are all miscellaneous items I had from our house in MO.  I have tissues sitting here and a marble Scott towel holder on the other side because…well, you always need tissues and napkins when putting on makeup.  

Here is Maggie checking out my new organized purse closet.  I could have bought specific purse hangers but I had a ton of plastic hangers that weren’t being used.  They make perfect substitutes :-).  The black filing cabinet in the corner holds all of my wallets, satchels, and miscellaneous items.

Wallpaper has made a big comeback and I wanted it in this room as a focal point.  I wanted a French Country Glam look and I thought this fit perfect.  Thomas was a big help and instrumental in getting this put up for me as I had never done it before.  

I was able to catch the sunlight on my sweet girl.  I love this picture because she is a ray of sunshine!
