Last summer I found two of these Mirrotek Jewelry and Makeup Armoire’s on one of my thrift store jaunts. Last Summer. I just now put them up in mine and my daughter’s rooms. sigh.
But, enough about my procrastination habits. These things are awesome.
Of course mine didn’t come with installation instructions, most of the things I find out and about never do. But it had these weird arm things that go over the top of a door. I immediately took those off. I knew with Liv and myself that it would never stay up on the door with just those things. We had a reason to call her Destructo Girl when she was little. Poor little thing, she is her mother’s daughter. And things that would hang beautifully on other people’s doors and never fly off because of someone slamming a door – well – those things had to come off.
You can see that the back of the armoire has two holes in it, up high near the top. This is where my father’s ingenuity comes into play. I absorbed his ingenuity through osmosis.
I went out to the garage and grabbed a couple of these.
Drywall anchors people. It’s what people like me and my daughter need in our lives.
I sank them into the wall at the height that I wanted to hang the armoire and then I sank a couple of screws into them. Not all the way. I wanted the screws to stick out slightly to hang the armoire on.
Next, hang up the armoire! Tada! It’s not crooked on the wall. Promise, just my non-skills with my camera.
I love these things. I transferred the jewelry that I have collected over the years into it and stuffed those jewelry boxes into the donation pile. Yay for not having things on my dresser.
I love the clean look of it and that’s one less thing on the dresser to call to other random things to come and join it. Does this happen at your house? If something sits out on my flat surfaces, other things join it until you can’t tell what your dresser looks like? Maybe it’s just me.
What do you think? I hope you find one at a yard sale!
