We don’t have a ton of vanity space in my bathroom, but I do have a big empty wall next to my mirror that was begging for a purpose. I came up with the idea to hang a simple canvas on a blank wall that would not only look great in my bathroom but would also store and HIDE my makeup. Genius, right?

This handy little project has made getting ready in the morning so much more efficient! No more digging for the right cosmetic or brush – everything is laid out and ready to go!

Optional – if you want to attach your canvas to the wall so that it opens like a vanity mirror, attach the hinges to the side of the frame and to the wall.
