I ordered two muji drawers last week - 1 two drawer, and 1 two drawer w/lid. They should be here tomorrow but I'm hoping they might show up today - that would be a great surprise for me when I get home from work! I think I just got lucky but I checked the website EVERY day - sometimes twice daily. I've also noticed that they've limited it to a quantity of 2 per style.

I used to have the standard vanity - like the one Bags4Bubbles has - but got rid of it when I moved a couple of years ago. I miss it! I guess that just means I can create a new vanity area, which I'm excited about! There are so many possibilities!

I was thinking that the malm desk from Ikea would be a great option. I currently have a desk/office workspace from Ikea with this drawer unit under the desktop: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/10192824

I thought they would also make an incredible vanity storage with a desk top over it with another piece on the other side. Its a little pricey but if you were looking for something sturdy & long lasting it would work! They also have other pieces of that same "Alex" style - I also have this one that sits on top of my desk but would make another great storage solution: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/20192828 - it also has the legs you can attach to the bottom. It sits on top of my office desk with my computer monitor on it. Something about the drawers with both of those - they're very easy to assemble & offer good space.

I love looking at everybody's configurations - gives me some great ideas! Not to mention, motivates me to do something!:thinkin::D

Here is a pic without the linings. Not sure if I will keep them in or not. They keep everything from moving.

This is very pretty! I like that it came with the linings too.
 
Here it is for $74.99 plus $5 shipping. I would have gotten it here, but I had an amazon GC.

They have other ones there too!
Thanks! I just placed an order on amazon for it and the vanity organizer but I can still cancel it.

I've seen these before but I always thought it was smaller than it was and also I didn't know the felt could be removed.

Edit: Nevermind I'll just keep the amazon order. The lowest shipping cost is $17 for me unless I sign up for a trial for some program for free 2 day shipping. No Thanks!

Congrats! Sorry I forgot to post the other link sooner. It is probably better dealing with Amazon since we know the seller is amazing. They shipped my order right out! They also have a good return policy. I can't wait to hear what you think when it arrives!
 
Bags4Bubbles you did a great job organizing! It looks like you'll be able to get to everything easily now.

thanks ladies. Bags4bubbles, I love your before and after!! I need to do some organizing. Your dresser looks roomier now too!

Thanks ladies! It's amazing what a little organization can do, it is so much easier to put on makeup with everything all organized! (More fun too!)
 
^ Thanks! I highly recommend the Ikea Malm Dressing Table and Anordna drawer organizers. I can't say enough about the Muji acrylic organizers....I love them.

Hi,

I've just stared reading through this thread and I've seen a lot of great set ups which have given me many ideas. I love yours and I've followed the links and see where you've gotten your organizers. Is the vanity itself the Malm dressing table from Ikea? Yours looks like it has a full front in the pictures where the Ikea Malm has just the one drawer. I'd love to have a vanity and I love Ikea stuff. Right now all of my cosmetics are in an Ikea Helmer cabinet. Yours is so beautiful and organized!
