Mini House Tour *Pic Heavy*

Hi my gorgeous readers! As promised, I'm giving you guys a quick glimpse to the new place. Nothing too fancy but this is what I call home. ;) ♥

Living Room - as usual peanut is there again hehe

Bedroom

Bedroom shots were taken yesterday about noon time. Most of the furniture were bought from IKEA including the bedsheets (duvet, pillows, etc) Not the lamb though hahaha.

My books - currently reading Fifty Shades of Grey ;)

I am thinking of actually buying a computer desk but I love space so I just put the computer on top of the chest of drawers. Not too tacky right? Well, it works for me.. ;) Far left is my vanity table --or i should say "converted" vanity table. :) Got all from IKEA!

Yes, I do have all the EOS lip balms :D

A little sneak peek on what's in the main drawer of my vanity drawer. ;)

I will be doing a future post about how I organize my make up. :)

I hope you guys enjoyed this mini house tour post. ♥

DIY: Lipstick Organizer

Today, I would like to share how I made my lipstick organizer. Thanks to Enkore Makeup! :) I watched the youtube tutorial and finally decided to make my own. I changed some of the materials needed and ignored some steps. Enkore's version was to use a carton from cereal boxes and/or soda. In my version, I used a box that I used for moving which I bought from Home Depot. I believe that using box flaps are more sturdier. :) I also changed the measurements based on my needs. My lipsticks weren't that organized prior to making this brilliant idea. ;) I have an Helmer Drawer from Ikea and let me tell you guys, this is by far the best make up organizer I've ever had! I also bought the Antonius Basket Inserts  (it's supposed to be for the Antonius Wire Basket) for the rest of my Helmer Drawers. I loveeeee it!!

Now, let's proceed to this project:

Let's start shall we? 

(By the way, this took me 6 hours to make so be prepared, unless I'm just really really slow) LOL! 

Materials Needed:

- Box : Cut the flaps in long and short pieces

- 8 long pieces (15.4X 2.3 inches)

- 15 short pieces (9X 2.3 inches)

(the measurements shown above is for an Helmer Drawer, feel free to change the measurements according to your space or drawer size) 

- Scissors

- Ruler

- Pen/Sharpie

 Step 1:

-Make squares that are 1 inch apart for both long and short pieces. 

- From the edge of the piece, measure 1 inch and draw a straight line. 

- Cut the squares to the point where you've drawn the line. Tip: make the slits wider than the one shown below. It will be easier for you to assemble it later. Trust me.

*Picture shown below is a short piece*

 Step 2:

- Draw triangles in between the lines (top and bottom for long and short pieces)

*You can skip this step if you do not want your pieces to look like a picket fence*

Step 3:

- Cut the triangles in between. 

Now, you have pieces that looks like a picket fence. :)

Step 4:

- Insert them into their slots.

Voila!

It actually feels good to do this by myself. I was gonna ask my bf to do it for me but decided not to. Hehe 

Have fun making your own lipstick organizer! :) Hope this post helped a lot! :D
