tanya t I am OBSESSED with that Nice case now! Not what I would do with it, but I REALLY want one.

I have been obsessed with it for years....retail is over 2500.00 now.... which is totally obscene.... I have been looking on ebay on and off for like 2 years....finally found this one and got it for a steal!!!!:yahoo::yahoo::yahoo:
I am still too scared to use her.....:wacko:
 
Sneak peak!!! :yahoo: All I need to do is put my Vanity Girl Hollywood Starlet Mirror up!!! :) I'll take more detailed pics then! The furniture is Malm from IKEA...a biotch to assemble but now I feel accomplished and I have more money for makeup ha!

^^WOW!!!! I LOVE it!!! You must be so excited cuz I know you have been planning this a while! I am going to get that malm! It looks PERFECT! The mirror will put this over the top.

This is looking great! Can't wait to see more pics!

Looks great!!

Love it! Cant wait to see the finishing touches!!!

Stunning! i LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!!!!!!!

i've been wanting one of those malm accessory drawer sets. way cool!

thx everybody! i literally finished the last piece of furniture at 3:30 am and i just had to post it so you guys would have some eye candy in the morning! ha!

blah956: honestly, for the $150 each that the MALM 6-drawer chests costs, they were soooooooo worth it...despite the 3 hours each it took me to put them together!!! omg it was a pain in the butt, but looking back now so worth it! on the top of one i will put perfumes, lotions, and things i grab b4 i go out the door. for now, i will close the lid of the other side and put my TV on top until i can mount it on the wall above my starlet mirror. really the only places for my TV because the cable runs through the closet on the left side of it. i already have space for my jewelry elsewhere so in the drawers i will put socks, undies, bras, hair supplies, extra beauty products and probably still have room for some overflow of tees, tanks, and shorts.

the dresser is such good quality once assembled! i got the Billy bookcases to display my dress shoes, hats, and bags. i didn't put the backings on so you could see the wall through them and they are sooooo flimsy! i am def gonna have to secure them to the wall. i am posting pics of that project in The Wardrobe and Jewelry threads!

i think it would be great to own one so that i can get rid of my cheapo walmart plastic bins! the only thing keeping me from buying one is that i want to find an alternative to the fiberboard drawer liners. i own malm dressers (one tall set and a long drawer) and the fiberboard lining has caved in from the weight of my jeans. i keep having to get creative to prevent it from caving in (stuff sometimes gets stuck in the back where it connects to the drawer wall).

why did you not want the backing? just it could be see through? or because it was flimsy?? if you left it off cause it is flimsy, you could buy wood from lowes and have them cut it to fit the bookcase. i did this with all my malm furniture and it added enough *weight* to prevent them from tipping over if i left the top drawer open. is this the one you bought?

what i have for my bags is this one and it is very sturdy. there are others with more shelves to put stuff on display.
