Hello Darlings!
Ive been a little late in the day with posting the last few days because I have so much going on at work I keep falling behind ;-( anyway.... Yesterday I had a 'MOMMY DEAREST" moment, LOL and started freaking out over clutter in the kitchen, clutter in the bathroom just CLUTTER!!!
Clutter drives me nuts so I pulled everything out of the cabinets and rearranged, purged and reorganized and now I feel so much better. If my house is not in order I CANNOT THINK.
While I was cleaning my bathroom I remembered seeing something on pinterest (I think) on a cool way to keep my make-up handy because I don't like keeping it in make up bags (they get messy) so off to target I went...Crafty Project Details & pics below ;-)
Get The Look...

ReplyDeleteThat make-up holder is a great idea, and love the top.
ReplyDeleteVery cute! Great color choice on the bowls. :)
ReplyDeleteSuper cute! Love the color choice!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea and look!! Is that a bowl and plate? Are they ceramic or plastic? Is that a candle holder?
ReplyDeleteLove your look. You have made me look at F21 in a different way. Love your diy make up/ jewelry holder.
ReplyDeleteI am the same way about the clutter, drives me bananas! Super cute as always.
ReplyDeleteI am the same way Ms. Mimi. My house has to be clean in order for me to think! Anyhoo, love the blog, promise to stop lurking!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea for make-up storage, especially to put in there the ones that I use the most! I see you have nice hair, why keep it short and not let it grow longer? I'm just curious, thanks.
ReplyDeleteGreat makeup storage idea. I need to get mine off the counter, it's driving me NUTS!
ReplyDeleteI love the make-up holder DIY. I think I will make one for myself!
ReplyDeleteI'll delurk (is that a word?!) to say hi... HI! love your blog especially the pattern reviews. :o)
ReplyDeleteGotta love Pinterest! Great crafty project - I'm not a huge fan of makeup bags either.
ReplyDeleteI like this I'm going to try to make one this weekend. I love your double heart ring you always wear from BCBG i ordered my own luckily it was on sale.
ReplyDeleteThe craft - the way you posted the pictures - was hilarious. ^-^
ReplyDeleteThis DIY jewelry tray is too cute, will be making my own soon. Thanks!

Great idea! I've been struggling with keeping my makeup organized.... Already have the candle holder , would have to find the Perfect bowls.
ReplyDeleteOmg I love this idea! My makeup is currently in makeup bags and it takes up so much space.ill definitely try this very soon!!
ReplyDeleteThat looks awesome!! Is the glue really strong...I'm scared it will break!! But yeah, looks fantastic, well done!!
ReplyDeleteI wondered the same thing....

ReplyDeleteLove the project and love your blog! I am a new reader and let me just say you have awakened my interest in sewing just by seeing all of your projects. I love your voice and really have enjoyed reading all of your old posts - keep up what you do!
ReplyDeleteLol @ "Lurking"
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great idea!! Watch out HGTV!! (^_^)
Lov the orange floral shirt and that is such a creative diy make-up holder. I always wonder how people come up with stuff like this. I guess I am not creative because I would have NEVER thought of this nor all of the jewels I find on pinterest and other blogs.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing all that you do with us.
This is so cool!! I need something like that, not sure if the glass would be good for me since I have a 3&4 year old who loves make up just as much as I do LOL
ReplyDeletei love the idea im gonna find a way to make it work for me.
I love this orange floral top on you and what a creative diy make up holder. I'm telling you, I dont know how you or or all of the people on pinterest come up with recreating things from one form to another. I am glad that you do!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing yourself with us. I know this must take a lot of time out of your day and sometimes thankless.
This great. I think I will try this!
ReplyDeleteThis is great! I think I will try this to conquer all the make up I have on my bathroom counter. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLurking....lmbo! Too funny! Great look and I love the craft idea. I probably will try this out with black and white colored bowls to match my bathroom...So, thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely piece, I think this would look awesome as a catch all in any of the rooms in my home -- you are too school for cool miss mimmy!

ReplyDeleteCool and very frugal....and with that being said, I will be making one also...LOL
ReplyDeleteGreat makeup storage...LOL @ Lurkers!
ReplyDeleteI understand not being able to think in clutter - organization is a part of my life!
This is bomb! I'm gonna make one. I almost donated my candleholders to the goodwill. I was like where the heck am I gonna put these?
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing. this is a really great idea. i plan to do some redecorating this weekend and i'll definitely give this a try - my bathroom countertop is a mess and it's even worse in the cabinets under the sink. this will definitely help organize and give it a lot or pizazz and color.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!!!! Looks easy enough that I may try it :)
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love this total outfit Mimi! It sooo cute and I must try to recreate this one! Also, that's a really neat idea for the bathroom and can have so many other uses than just a make holder too! Sweet! I must admit, Greystone's comment was priceless! and I do hope she was joking!!
ReplyDeleteI totally felt like you were calling "ME" out as one of those lurking. (lol) I love it. This idea is super cute and I'm sure the bowls match your decor. Thanks so much for sharing your amazing talent with us. I think I was going through MiMi withdrawl these last couple of days...lol
ReplyDeletelovely outfit Mimi :-) I'm copying that make-up storage idea!

*Holds up right hand* I, Sherita, promise to lurk less and comment more. Your tunic is perfect for summer and I have a slight obsession with all things floral right now. Love the wedges, too.
ReplyDeleteWhat is there to say I LOVE your blog and you're right I don't comment because I just enjoy it but when I'm specifically asked to comment I have to do so. Just keep doing what you do because you are freaking AWESOME at it.
