Summer Vanity Inspiration

Published Jul 24, 2011

You did a mass beauty clean-up in the springtime, right Beauties? Now, your organized stash just needs a touch of style. Beautylish shows you some of our favorite summer vanity ideas to add whimsy to your refreshed collection!

MINIMALIST ECLECTIC

We're swooning over this minimalist yet eclectic arrangement. The large white square trays make the perfect blank canvas to show off your pretty stash. Plates used for hair and jewelry display are both functional and stylish, while photos, art, and sculpture add whimsy and personality to the space. Choose a neutral color palette and use color and texture minimally for pop. Plus, who doesn't want a gold piglet sitting on their vanity?

DIY SHABBY-CHIC

Does your unframed mirror bring down your vanity area? With a little creativity and time, you can customize your very own mirror ornamentation for less than $5! Use old newspapers, book pages, or fabric and cut out petals of flowers you love. Attach them in a floral design with glue and stick on vintage buttons in the center of your flower for a finishing touch. Use strong double stick tape and begin layering your flowers organically alongside the mirror. Before you know it, your space has a shabby-chic style that's summer appropriate with an all-white palette. For the easily bored Beauty, this design is totally removable, so you can change it up seasonally with a fresh new decor.

gilded gorgeous

If your beauty collection is worth displaying, your brush holders and beauty containers should be equally as luxurious (stop using boring office-supply cans!) Enter mason jars, a Beauty's storage saver. With a few coats of gold spray paint, you can turn a simple glass jar into a Baroque statement that mirrors the gorgeous packaging of your favorite makeup and fragrance. Your carefully curated collection deserves unique storage solutions, so gild it up!

So cute!!

I absolutely love the gold jar!

I love the floral mirror on the DIY Shabby Chic vanity! I'm moving into a condo in a week or so and I may just do that!! That gold mason jar, too!

I love this! DIY is easy and fun. I agree with Nikki Z., I also love the "Keep Calm and Carry On" poster! :)

ugh i love the gold jars! so cute! but my favorite BY FAR is the white on whiet vanity! I love the KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON poster! One of my favs!

love this vanity set up! i wanna make that gold jar.

The mason jar thing sounds like a "you might be a redneck" joke waiting to happen lol. It looks cute tho spray painted! :)

When I finally move in a new house, I plan to totally organize my beauty area! I want it to look organized for easy finding and also fantasticly gorgeous for a place where I can record tutorials. :] CAN'T WAIT!!
