I’ve been on an organizing mission all summer. Just little projects here and there. Nothing too involved or time consuming really. One area that was bugging me was the top of my dresser. I didn’t take before photos but it was kind of messy! Anyway, I found the perfect little organizer and that of course led me to making a few more changes and now I have a whole new direction that I want to take this room (another domino effect)!
This is the organizer that I found and it’s perfect for me right now. Love it!!

It gives me a place to put all those little samples from Sephora that I get from ordering my husband’s cologne through them. I have a place for my lipsticks, my one eye shadow case (I’m not a big makeup person – I’m more into skincare) and all the other little things I use. Plus I have room to grow. Now if you use more makeup than me this one will probably not work for you but I’ve seen tons of others at Target and the Container Store that are made for holding lots of makeup. The idea is to find a way organize and contain your makeup in a way that works for you.
I put all the little perfume samples that I have in this little mercury glass dish to keep them contained and easy to grab.
Our bedroom is done in mostly black and cream with robin’s egg blue walls and I decided that it needs a bit of sparkle. I replaced the lamp that was here with this mercury glass one that I already had. I sometimes use it in the living room at Christmas when I like to bring out all my mercury glass stuff. I’ll be adding more touches of sparkle as I find them.
I also added this silver mirror from TJMaxx.
I like the bit of bling it brings to this wall!
My dresser top looks so nice that my husband wants to re-organize his! Yay! Although that’s going to be a bit of a challenge! 🙂
It looks darling you did a wonderful job:)
Wow Manuela, I love the touches that you added. Mercury glass is one of my favorites. The organizer is a great idea too.
Thank you Lara! I’m so happy with that organizer! I don’t have much makeup so it works for me.
I have an old wooden desk organizer that I use, but it’s getting crowded. Makeup is a bit of an addiction for me. I need to work on that!
Very pretty! I’m working on vanity organization similar. I am a huge vanity slob, and it drives my husband a little bonky.
I love your organizer. I like the sparkle that you are adding to your room.
Love the touches—really it is quite beautiful!
Thank you Kim! I’m really liking the touches of shiny and would like to add more.
It looks lovely! Sparkle on! 🙂
Looking good!

i love the silver accent with the blue and dark wood! it came out great!
Very pretty, Manuela! I love your wall color.
Calming color on your walls…what I love is that spray of white beside the dresser…
I like the organization – I’m big on that and hate “mess” or stuff all over the place. Love how you’re adding the bling to your room with that pretty lamp and mirror.
Thank you Melanie! I like organization too. It just takes while to figure out systems that work. I’ve tried various things for my dresser top and various other organizers, but this one seems to work for me.
That mirror is gorgeous! It adds such a nice amount of bling to the room.
I just recently “tweaked” my bedroom dresser. A long time friend is downsizing her things, even those she loves, and sent a beautiful cut glass (perhaps veggie server?) to me and a piece of cut glass to our other good friend.
She said these pieces were used in many important meals through the year, she wanted them to go to people she loved. I almost put mine away in the china cabinet but then decided it would be perfect to hold my earrings I wear the most (about three pairs that I wear over and over) and a couple other pieces of jewelry.
Now I think of her when I’m getting ready each day. I love having items that have meaning to them.
Don’t you love how a small change makes a huge difference?
I love the sparkle in your room….the mirror is lovely!
Your changes are so simple but perfect! It never ceases to amaze me how cluttered up the master bedroom can get, as hard as I try to keep it clean. I love your organizing solutions and bit of sparkle you have added to the space. I am sure having it organized makes the bedroom even more of a haven.
Your organized dresser top looks wonderful, I’m about to give up on mine.
Beautiful and organized! Love that sparkly mirror:) Have a blessed day dear friend, HUGS!
I am all about anything that helps me organize something better! Love the look of your bedroom…pretty color pallet and I like the ‘bling’. Thanks for sharing with us at TTF this week.
