Yesterday morning, I sat down at the computer, ready to bust out a multitude of posts to feed out over the next week. I was feeling pretty darn motivated, and knew that I had at least 5 uninterrupted hours to dedicate to She Thrifts before Hubs and B4 were back in the house, causing utter chaos me to be slightly distracted. So I got myself set up with a cuppa, and finally stopped Face Stalking Booking long enough to log into my Blogger account.
Blogger was down. Down and out for the WHOLE DAY. I know I'm not alone, everybody across the Blogspot world was in the exact same position. Maintenance had to be done, of course we want glitches fixed. But being unable to post anything new left me feeling particularly guilty, as I recently met some new Blog friends, and had suggested they drop by soon to see my latest projects. It's now been 4 days since my last post, and though it may not be the end of your world, I do like to post regularly. A stagnant blog does nothing for inspiration :o(
Anyway, I'm back! Blogspot is back to rights again, and although I may not be able to pump out more than one post today, I wanted to make sure it was one that you might have been waiting for...
I've been dropping little hints about a my makeup station needing a revamp, especially since my Wardrobe Overhaul, and I finally got it done! As always, I find my brain still ticking over today, pondering on ways to make it even better, but let's face it, if I made you all wait until I felt a project was completely done before sharing it, this blog would be empty.
So here's what I did to make over my makeup station!
After the relative success of my bathroom drawer liners, I wanted to experiment with a little 'wallpapering'. So again, I grabbed what I already had even if it wasn't perfect, and got to work. |
I told you I would try out some faux flowers, and I was pretty pleased with the effect. |
Looking much less cluttered, but still missing that 'something'... |
Seems like a big bowl for just a couple of hair elastics... |
The elastics are hidden from view, but easy to grab, and my flowers *Pop* even more with such a contrasting vessel. |
I have three types of bobby pins I use daily, and they are perfectly corralled here with my other cosmetics and tools. |
This glass vase has worked well for holding my brushes and headbands, so I kept it the same. If it were visible from the front, I might cover it with some paper too! |
All of my Must Have bottles that look a little less pretty, got chucked into this basket. Easy to grab, easy on the eye! |
So a little Before vs. After action....
Blah. |
Ta DA!! |
My eyes are officially pleased!
How about yours? Can you see any more improvements I could make? I am addicted to improvements, and love to hear feedback on my projects!
I can't wait to share some more with you, so stay tuned for Painting Things, Thrifty Finds and heaps more to come!

Looks great!!! :-)
ReplyDeleteTank you so much! It's not a dream "dream" job but a really nice job if you want to work with interior in the future. I am seeing myself working as a stylist or something when I "get older". But it's really a great way to start here.
The walls are more beige/sand colored. I would prefer white walls but they were painted before I moved in :-/.
Aw, well they look lovely in that photo ;o)
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about the dream 'dream' job, but the main thing is you are heading directly towards what you really want in the future. That's what my blog is about for me :o)
Great makeover for your make up! The pink hairspray can looked great with the flowers.
ReplyDeleteThank you Orange Blossom! I love it when things just 'go' together by accident!
