Apothecary Wannabe

After I decided to make my own little vanity out of a dumpy desk I found for $15 on Craigslist, I wanted it to have some vintage storage options. I don't like clutter when it comes to my make-up and decided to duplicate the old fashioned containers that litter the apothecary counters in 1950's movies.

It took me a month to find just the right candle sticks and drinking glasses combos but I like how they turned out. A little bit of Gorilla Glue and applied pressure later, I had new holders for my make-up necessities.

Side note, when I was unpacking my creations in my New York apartment one slipped and fell, shattering. The candle stick is in tact but I'm yet again on the hunt for the right little glass.

The candle sticks and small drinking glasses.

Waiting for the super glue to dry completely (I let them sit overnight just to be safe).

The finished product!

Set up on my vanity . . . my make-up doesn't sit out like that usually, I was just attempting to make it look girlie, promise.
