DIY Makeup Vanity

Hope all you east coasters were able to stay warm during the so called “blizzard.” I enjoyed the extra days off building snowmen, making snow angels and even going sledding. The rest of the items needed can be purchased at your local hardware store. To create the storage part of my vanity I purchased two Ikea Alex 5 drawer units and one table top in high gloss white (47×23).

It requires a little bit of electrical work but I promise you can totally do it. 3 Packs of Crystal Clear Round Light Bulbs Wireless Remote Light Switch or Power Strip

Since the lights are meant to be hardwired we need to convert them to be plug ins. The first thing you need to do is remove the socket part of the extension cord. On the back of the wall lamp you will notice three wires, black, white, and yellow.

Using electrical tape to hold everything down and making your marks you can now screw in your pluggable lights!

I plugged the cords into a power strip and just hit the red button when I want to turn the lights on. I’m so happy to finally have a place to organize all my hair and makeup products and tools.The drawer units allow for so much storage it’s crazy!

I’m not even close to being done organizing it all but I don’t mind spending all my time here!
