So another project that I tackled while I was home visiting in Nova Scotia was styling & organizing my Mom’s dressing room.
{After}
My sweet mother realized that this large & spacious area next to her walk-in closet had become a bit tired and was in need of a little makeover.
She asked for my help & of course I said YES because when the woman who has been one of your biggest cheerleaders in life needs help, you are at the ready!!
I did a little shopping at IKEA and shipped a large box to her just as Canada Post went on strike. However, much to my relief, the goodies arrived not long after I flew to Nova Scotia.
We also did a little shopping at Winners before the big makeover day!
Behold the ‘BEFORES’:
Notice in the photo above the 15 years of magazines like Martha Stewart, Gourmet, Canadian Living, and others.
We cleared those the heck out of there and donated them!
We worked hard to tame the wild piles of stuff…
coordinated some black & white & pink to make a slightly romantic & girly space.
And after I worked my magic…the ‘AFTERS’:
A sweet spot to sit in to do hair & makeup.
A simple vignette to make the space feel relaxed.
Shelves made pretty and hair stuff contained in feminine containers & IKEA boxes.
Makeup perfectly organized.
This little makeover took only a few hours but the results were well worth the effort.
Now my Mom has a space that feels fun & fresh.
{Love you Mom!!}

Really enjoyed seeing the makeover. My only change would be, instead of the three floral pics on the wall in the white frame, I'd do a 4-pic white frame with black&whites of her precious grandchildren, each as infants. That would keep a smile on her face whenever she sits in her little corner of the world. But that's just my interpretation. Nice job, Angie 🙂
I think my house is about 50% IKEA and the rest is second hand, I love them!!
Great transformatipn, Angie! I love the different sized boxes you used for organizing. What a great spot for her to sit at when she is getting ready in the morning!
Another wonderful project, great job!
LOVE a nicely organized AFTER! Looks great!
Oh my gosh…she must have loved that! And will have such a nice reminder every morning of your visit. 🙂
It looks AMAZING! I think I am going to hit Ikea when I finally get around to my office. GORGEOUS.
I would love to have a space like this! Thanks so much for sharing.
How fun! I have 2 little girls and I imagine this will be a wonderful addition to our home eventually! Thanks for sharing your tips and how your space turned out!
What a lovely job. Such a nice inviting space!
It looks so pretty but still very elegant.
Where did you get those awesome hot pink organizers on the shelves and desk??? I must have them!
I agree!! I must get those pink organizer items!! Please do tell where they are from 🙂
