I can't even count how many times ive moved my acrylic console table around my loft. Ive used it in my entryway, as a desk, and eventually as a catchall because I just wasn't happy with how it was being purposed. I wanted to use it for something I would visit often. I recently remembered I had purchased acrylic shelves months ago, but still had not found a place for them. I have been using my bedroom dresser as a makeshift vanity and everything was just looking disorganized... I knew exactly how I would use my lucite pieces.
It really turned out better than I thought, took no time to set up, and it has great functionality. I used designer boxes to store the not so pretty cosmetics and displayed the more glamorous ones all on one shelf, so not to let the clutter get too out of hand. Random glassware from discount stores and flea markets hold my brushes and tubed makeup. The faux bamboo chair was old and semi tattered when I found it... I repainted and reupholstered it (as well as my two kitchen chairs).
I especially loved this project because I didn't have to buy anything. I already had everything I needed around my place. This was such an easy project that really makes getting ready in the morning less stressful and gives me the opportunity to display my cosmetics in a unique and organized way.








oh man, that is super cute. I've also been wanting to do somethingl ike that with my old chanel perfume bottle :)

I absolutely love the way you've put it together, and the colors compliment each other so well. Great job Alex! [P.S. Are the lucite shelves drilled into the wall? I'm wondering if I can do something like that for my apartment without getting the landlord on my butt.]
