The vanity is one of my favorite things that I own. I got it from an estate sale - it was in one of those houses where the woman would have been considered a hoarder except she filled rooms with really nice antiques instead of old newspapers. I found this in a closet that had literally been turned into a giant vanity table, surrounded by other vanity mirrors.
The idea for this organization strategy came from Pinterest - here and here. The heart box was a gift from my aunt, she gave it to me back when I was 12 and was not yet able to appreciate it. Everything else is supposed to be a candle holder or is an apothecary jar - all from Michael's. And yes, that's a picture of me and my college roommate Beth air-high-fiving in our caps and gowns.
This was just added last weekend. This was a set of two simple shelves from Michael's - on sale for $8! Luckily my daddy taught me well, so I was already in possession of tools and enough know-how to install them myself.
I think I originally envisioned this as being a part of a shelf, but then realized I don't actually have a workshop to build things in. While my bedroom can be easily transformed for crafts, sewing, or painting, woodwork seems a little different. These hooks came from Michael's as well, I think they were a dollar each. It's great having my jewelry on display because I'm more likely to remember what I have and then wear it.
