This was my starter vanity, since I'm renting, and there's not much space for the bf and I in our room... I have the typical vanity w/ an ISIS storage unit on casters from Office Max to store any of the extra goodies I can no longer fit in my vanity. I use foam drawer dividers I purchased from Daiso to make smaller compartments inside of my drawers to maximize my space instead of buying trays that waste space. This worked when I first started, but I need to upgrade soon. It's a shame the MALM vanity [larger size] has been discontinued from IKEA... they're hard to come across on Craigslist too, so I think my new vanity will have to be a DIY project.

The train cases are kind of useless to me - since I only use them whenever a friend wants me to do their makeup and I need to transport it. I still don't prefer them much because they are heavy and cumbersome...

You would think cute storage solutions would be all over the place, but ones that are actually useful and convenient aren't easy to come across...  =(

I have the small dressing table by malm ikea n love it. 

Soma I love your makeup setup!

I need a vanity so bad! My storage is great, but I don't really have a place to sit down to do my makeup! UGH! Drives me nuts. I just can't seem to find a vanity that I like! I wanted the Malm one, but now I hear that the smaller one is only carried in white?  Boo!!

This is my tool box : )

OMG Theresa that is adorable! where did you get it?

Yes I like the toolbox but I am sure you will need 10 of those.

I have the Malm Dressing Table by Ikea in White. I am still in the midst of organizing because I really dont know what I want to do with the wall. I will post pics once I have it all set up with a chair and much more organized on the bottom :)

@ Megan here is the site where I bought it. But I am pretty sure with a little hunting on the net you can get it cheaper now : ) http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00987900000P?sid=IDx01192011x000001&srccode=cii_17588969&cpncode=00-62579580-2

There is a bigger version of the tool box that I have been debaiting on. I really like the desk idea but I have to have everything high and locked away. (Kids get to EVERYTHING)

This shows the inside of the drawer

Very nice! I wish I had the room for that size dresser.

Mima... I HATE my vanity set-up. If it weren't for renting and small spaces, I'd have your MALM... except now it's been discontinued in the larger sizes... *cries*

I've been searching high and low for a nice and practical vanity [mirrored ones are nice, but think of the fingerprints and constant dusting!] - but they don't make too many. IKEA made a big boo-boo discontinuing the larger MALM...

I think I'm going to have to do a DIY on my next one, because I've grown out of mine much too long ago...  =/

Look up Micke or something like that and it'cheaper! 

Is that from Ikea? I tried googling it, but I came up w/ jeans...  =(

@ Monica nice and simple I like : )

i worked so hard to build my collection... im sure people have tons more products but this is the stuff that works for me and ive spent a lot of hard earned money on it!!

It's what works for you Hun! I understand how much it takes to build a collection that works for you. And it is costly if you like the more high end brand products.

@Monica- thank you! the way i see it, is if i am going to spend money on makeup i rather not cheap out, i prefer products i know will work and are good quality.

@ Andrew- I like and great idea.
@Soma you can see it on this link below
