So I have been lemming a makeup area since everyone started posting awesome ideas. I didn't have the money or space in our room for the malm dresser or pretty much anything right now so my DH and I did it ourselves. I just wanted everyone to see how inexpensive you can do it.

I found the dresser/changing table on craigslist for $40
The mirrors came from Walmart 2 packs plus tape $25
The shelves for my perfume are from Bed Bath and Beyond $15 (with coupon)
I wanted a nice stool but one that still folded so I wouldn't get in the way $22 at Bed Bath and Beyond (with coupon)
My makeup mirror has lights and 3 mirrors (heart) $31 bbb w/coupon
My husband picked up new drawer pulls and hinges at Home Depot for $20ish

New Makeup area = Pricelesss lol. I can't wait to get up every morning now.

I used my old sock drawer organizers that I got from IKEA a few years back (took the hubbys also lol)

Now all we have to do is paint (some wear shown but would like a more glossy white with hot pink inside) but that won't cost much anyway maybe in a few weeks.

Really everything else I had around the house (mini drawers,lamp,white maribou above mirrors,little magnifying mirror,and the drawer organizers.)

Would love to know what you think and if you have questions or want to know what something is/where to get it let me know!

Walmart. They came in packs of 6 for $9.99. I got 2 and you have to buy the mounting and you can choose from heavy duty tape (my choice it's easy lol), brackets and something else. I think the mounting was around $3 something for the tape. Hope that helps!

Thanks guys! I got the pink mat (it's a silicone pot holder) at Safeway in the cooking tools section it was like $3.49. I'm also a hairstylist and there is a beauty store called Davidsons/Cosmo Prof and they have ones meant for heat tools but it's like $14 and they are the same thing.
