At the moment, Justin and I reside in a one bedroom apartment. It is definitely large enough for the two of us, but there is a lot to be desired in the storage department. Like many women, I have a lot of…stuff. One of the collections of “stuff” I have involves my perfume collection. My various bottles were spread out on top of one of the dressers in our bedroom. It worked, but looked relatively sad. And somewhat cluttered.
However, I found a simple solution to my cluttered dresser problem: a cake stand! Yep. A cake stand; who would have thought?
I snagged this small cake stand at Home Goods…for $5.99! I love the frosted green hue. All I needed to do was place my collection of perfume bottles on top, and voila! De-cluttered dresser.
The stand makes it so much easier to quickly clean off the top of my dresser: no more picking up each bottle individually! Whew. I love when you can find a simple solution like this for your decor!
Have you ever used an item for a purpose other than it was originally intended? What did you do?
super cute idea, friend!
Thanks so much! A moment of brilliance, perhaps…
Cute, I love it!
love! I have the same thing for all my perfume bottles in the bathroom. I used one of the glass stands from our wedding. It’s so fun to find new uses for old things!
I love repurposing! And using something from the wedding is a great idea…
very cute idea! You could even do a multi-tiered one and put some more stuff on that!
YES! I thought about that, but I wasn’t able to find a multi-tiered stand that I loved. I’m going to keep my eyes peeled for the future!
Love this! It looks great!
I have an assortment of repurposed trays and a little footed bowl that I use to organize my jewelry/perfume on my dresser too…
cute!
Great, clever idea! Love repurposing!
This is such a creative and beautiful idea!! I might have to borrow that from you!
Borrow away! I would love to see the other pretty cake stands that people use too!
My Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb is in a pretty display (glass bowl) too. (Love that perfume!)
I agree: Flowerbomb is such a wonderful, ladylike scent. It has become pretty much my everyday perfume lately!
