As moms, we don’t get enough time to ourselves. Most days, we’re lucky if we have time to swipe some chapstick across our lips. Having time to do a full face of makeup? That’s a rarity for most moms. Maybe we’d spend more time pampering ourselves if we had a special little place to do it. I love the idea of creating a simple makeup vanity where I could store all of my beauty products and spend time making myself look and feel good.
Whether it’s for Mother’s Day, your birthday or another special occasion, wouldn’t it be nice if your husband helped you set up your own at-home makeup corner? Just show him these ideas and let him know how easy it is to replicate one.

1. In The Corner
Instead of wasting space in a dead corner, you could easily convert it to a makeup station. Build or buy a corner desk unit, find a comfy ottoman chair and add a mirror, along with a few shelves to hold your beauty products. Not only will you have a special space for yourself, you’ll free up other places where all those beauty supplies would otherwise be stored. Maybe your hubby could expand his own beauty product collection in that newly available space.

2. Repurposed Pieces
Using kitchen stools and an old chair, this mom created a makeup vanity for her teenage daughter. With some spray paint and new fabric, the stools and chair were transformed into a rustic chic makeup table. A mirror, a few baskets and a handful of other items completed this area and it looks so great!

3. Dresser Design
I don’t think I ever would have thought of turning a dresser into a makeup vanity. But that’s such a simple way to do it! Store makeup and larger beauty products in the drawers, and use the top area to keep the items out that you use every day. Add geometric shelves for additional storage and to give the space a more stylish look.

4. Budget-Friendly
If you don’t have a big budget available for a makeup vanity, you can still create something nice. Use a small table and chair to start with, and then take advantage of inexpensive storage pieces that offer functionality and don’t take up additional space. You’ll just need one mirror, which you can make the focal point of the vanity.

6. Small Space
If you don’t have a very large collection of makeup and beauty products, you can create a vanity that accommodates your tiny collection. With one shelf, one chair, and a hanging mirror, you’ll have an area all your own for primping. If your makeup collection ever does grow, you can easily find small storage baskets or drawers to put on top of the shelf.
