pin to present: jewelry storage mirror

We have a teeny tiny bathroom attached to our bedroom (which I'll definitely take as better than nothing (the usual option in a house this age, I'd guess), and as Peter does his grooming after the shower (which there is not one of in this teeny tiny bathroom of course), I decided I got to claim this one as my own for hair & makeup.

And then, inspired by Pinterest, I turned it into my jewelry box too! This tutorial is for building a jewelry storage mirror, but since I had this little medicine cabinet at my disposal, I thought I could just apply the organization/prettification ideas, like screwing in a few hooks and linking the inside of the door with a fun paper.

With very minimal time and money investment, now I've got a lovely organized space to get ready in - if you ignore the part where there's no counter space for my hair straightener and also no drain cover so I occasionally lose things like earrings down the sink...

    Ooh! I'm definitely stealing the fun paper on the back of the mirror/door idea! Great to spice up a boring guest bath!

    Nice! This reminds me to pick up some kind of drain cover as I recently lost a favorite earring down the drain. As soon as I figured out what I had done, I had TBG (the best guy) inspect the S bend trap, but no luck. ;-(

    Oh, I have this one pinned too but haven't done it yet, so thanks for refreshing my memory! I love the idea of prettying up a tiny, functional space. Our master bathroom is pretty tiny too, so I could put this to use there. (And I'm just thankful as well to have a master bathroom--our old house had just one bathroom total!)

    Oh, I really love this idea. I'm always looking for a new way to hide my jewelry from my kids. This could work.

    What a cheery, bright place to get ready in! My husband works nights, so I have to be sure I have everything I might possibly need to wear that day in our master bathroom the night before. That means I have my outfit plus an extra shirt and two extra pairs of shoes JUST in case I change my mind when I'm getting ready! It's pretty ridiculous sometimes! We all work around life/house/schedule challenges, don't we!

    What a great idea! It looks awesome. We have a little cabinet like that in my parents house but we never made it look this cute.

    I am always searching for better jewelry storage ideas. No spare cabinets at the moment, but something to keep in mind for later!

    I love this idea, Anne! Our bathroom is the first big project Kevin and I want to tackle in our house - it's very DIY right now, but not in a good way. We haven't changed a thing since we moved in, but I'd love to try little changes like this as we save up for a bigger remodel!
