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.

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.
