so I had an unusable counter and sink in the upstairs kitchen that became the master bedroom’s walk in closet… we aren’t doing a full renovation until next year.
This blog post is going to be mostly photos and captions, because it’s 1 am and I am nearly passing out from exhaustion!
I’ve thrown out SO MUCH MAKEUP from my downstairs bathroom… this is just some of what’s left
makeshift sink vanity
No, you can’t see the faucet… shhhh… don’ tell me!
what it looked like BEFORE I hauled more makeup upstairs from the downstairs bathroom
The stuff in this ‘vanity’ isn’t even 1/10th of what I own. Tomorrow I will be hauling the rest upstairs. I really need a better organization system- but until then, this will do.
my ipsy and birchboxes, coz they’re so cute
1960s-70s groovy glasses repurposed as makeup brush holders
Since this was originally a kitchen, I housed all my vintage linens and favorite antique china and glassware here. It’s a shame not to use them, so I am hauled some of them out as brush and makeup storage.
I’m glad I bought 4 of these lipstick organizers- I needed them
I cannot say enough about these cheap little clear acrylic lipstick holders from eBay! They’re AMAZING and practical.
Lipliners in one glass, eye liners in another- plus a vintage anchor-hocking glass for beauty blenders
after I hauled more stuff upstairs- I need to clean a couple of these brushes
I have no idea how I will end up organizing all the perfume/perfume samples and eye shadows
I have mac, nars, pout, nyx, and hard candy thingies in that little green tray.
a few of my favorite palettes
I love the idea of everything being out in the open where I can see them and not shoved into a drawer, forgotten.
I also received something in the mail from Birchbox, but will review later- Goodnight All!
Miss Maisie and Me 
You did a great job, Jess! 🙂

thanks! I’m so relieved to have an organized space… only 14 more rooms to go. UGH. Pray for me.
The joys of living in a huge, 103 yrs old house with 3 males, 3 dogs, 2 cats, 1 baby, and no help LOL!
I’m ready to run away with my mom back to ‘pinas, seriously. It always freaks me out to ‘not have any arms’ because my mom has so many maids, but I secretly enjoy it.

Gosh. You have a huge house! Our home has 6 bedrooms, and we’re so tired of cleaning the entire house! It’s tough but I believe you’ll finish this soon! 🙂 Ask your mom to care for Maisie while you throw out more stuff!!!

I wish my mom would, but she has early dementia and would eventually get in her car and leave if she got bored. My mom requires more entertaining than the baby.
PLUS we CANNOT throw things out when mama is here, she will freak out and put it all in her van.

I wish you were closer, I have SO many fancy antique chine teacups and saucers I could give you… I don’t even use them because the men are so hard on dishes.
