It might be the carpet. I don't have mine mounted to the wall either (also on carpet) and it wobbles a little bit if I yank the drawer out fast but apart from that it's pretty good. I'd definitely recommend wall mounting if you have small kids and/or pets though. You don't want either crashing into it and having the thing topple onto them!

Thanks. That's very flattering (especially considering the quality of organization other Specktrettes have displayed!)

I love your setup! I would love to see how you've put together your other palettes if you ever get a chance to post pics. You are so organized, it's amazing! Everything is so neat!

I will take new pics soon. I'm always organizing and re-organizing my palettes so they never quite stay the same. LOL

Anyway, onto (yet another) Malm vanity. Our master bedroom has been done in black/brown Malm furniture and red accents for 2 years, so the fact that the vanity worked for this purpose was a total bonus. Thanks to MissChievous for addressing some lighting questions I had last year when I picked up the table.
Overview:
Palette holder:
Brush holder: (Primarily MAC; some Sigma Makeup)
Nail stuff: (China Glaze, Konad accessories, hand treatments etc.)
Face: (Assorted Studio Fix powders; Full Coverage foundation; MSF; Mineralize Blush; Prep & Prime Translucent powder; bronzer; Solar bits; concealer etc.):
Eyes: (Fluidlines; Paint pots/samples etc.)
Other: (CK Euphoria; Body Shop perfume)
Eyes: (Liquid last liner; glitter liner; shadesticks; UDPP; Fyrinnae eye primer; paint; Too Faced lash injection mascara etc.)
Lips: (Lipsticks; lipglasses; lip gloss)
Other: (Prep & Prime assorted; Matte texture; Faces Metaliglow; Pro paintsticks)
Pigment storage and Sigma Makeup brush roll:
Pigments and loose shadows:
(Fyrinnae pigment box; the other box contains MAC pigment samples, mixing medium, lash glue etc.)
Green/gold palette:
...The bf wants to rig something to my table so it sounds like a weapons cache when it opens.
If anybody has any specific questions, please let me know.  Thanks for letting me share!

Drooling on the floor a 100 times over!!!!!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE your collection.. not to mention how neat and organized and beautiful it looks when the drawers aren't opened. I want that vanity soo bad but my boyfriend and I are moving out together in January and he thinks it is way too big to have. I might ask for it for Christmas so I HAVE to have it  Thank you sooo much for posting where you can get the organizer sets

Gorgeous!! What did you use on the labeling system? I can never find labels that are thin enough like that.
