How To Build A Makeup Vanity From Ikea

DIY IKEA VANITY Under $50

I am certain we all watch and drool over the dazzler vloggers on YouTube who all own the dreamy makeup vanities. I know I exercise. I have always wanted a beautiful space to utilise my makeup every morning, simply never wanted to pause the depository financial institution trying to achieve information technology. Well, I volition show you how yous can create your ain beauty vlogger makeup vanity, without the cost tag that makes y'all cringe.

WHAT Y'all Need:

- 1 Linmon Table Top from Ikea for $8.99 (yes, that's eight dollars and ninety-nine cents!!

- 4 Adils Legs from Ikea for $4 each. ($16 total)

-1 Fullen Mirror with Shelf (shelf is optional) from Ikea for $9.99

-i Musik Wall Lamp from Ikea (I was just given the UK option online, simply I bought mine in-store in the US) for $ix.99

-five E12 Bulbs (I got mine from Ikea, but I am sure you tin can observe them cheaper on Amazon or dwelling improvement stores) Mine were $vi.99 and are LED lights. I had a few of them already, so I didn't need to buy all five.

I already owned the Alex Drawer Unit from Ikea, so this is definitely optional. (this item is non included in the under $50) This does retail at Ikea for $79.00. At that place are much cheaper options, so you do not need to splurge on this one. I accept had this unit for nigh two years at present and love it! Information technology gives me alllllll that makeup storage I need.

Yous may also demand a level, drill, electrical tape, wire strippers, and an extension string.

Not pictured in this photo- the Musik wall lamp.

Commencement, you will desire to screw all four legs to the tabular array. The table elevation comes with pre-drilled holes, so all you lot need is to line up the metal plates to the holes and drill the legs into the metal plates. You should cease upwardly with a plain white table. Not a very exciting film, but I included for demonstration purposes!

Hanging the mirror was very simple. The mirror came with instructions and all the screws to consummate. You pretty much just drill the four screw into the wall and then hang the mirror. The mirror shelf merely slid in.

Next, James had to assemble the calorie-free fixture. Unfortunately, the light bar comes unfinished. By this, I mean, it did not have the standard US wall adapter. So, he substantially had to take the adapter from a extension cord and wire it to the light bar. I have no inkling how this works, nor how to explain. Fortunately, he was able to get the job done. I wouldn't recommend trying this unless yous are familiar with electrical and wiring, unlike me.

After the vanity is complete and the lite is up, y'all are all prepare to decorate!

The stool is one from my old vanity set up. All I did was spray paint it white to lucifer the vanity. I solar day I may get around to upholstering the cloth on the stool.
