A Sweet Way to Display Your Perfumes: Use a Cake Stand

March 2nd, 2015 by Karen 28 Comments

Last weekend, in a fit of cleaning/organizational inspiration, I repurposed these old cake stands from Pier 1 by turning them into an improv perfume display for my dresser.

I placed the shorter perfume bottles on the bottom, and the taller ones on the top. Then, to make it a little more “me,” I added hula dancer Curious George and a piece of coral. 🙂

You could do this same cake stand idea with all kinds of things at home — hair products, body lotions, skin care products, makeup — whatever your sweet heart desires.

If you have any cute storage ideas, let me know! Also, please send pics (or links to pics). Inquiring storage-addicted minds want to know.

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    I’ve been using a jewelry box! I mostly have smaller indie perfume bottles, so it works nicely.

    I have some pictures here if it’s ok to link my post: http://peachynoon.blogspot.fi/2015/01/picture-post-perfume-collection-storage.html

    A cake stand is so cute for taller bottles too, I like things that look a bit elegant like that!

    This is a wonderful idea!!
    I love patisserie themed things, and some perfume bottles fit right into the whole parisian mood…

    Barbs, it’s all about aesthetics

    I got some tips from a perfumer on how to keep perfume fresh: store in a cool, dry place so a drawer is best.

    That being said, this is adorable and I want to do it with some of my smaller bottles. Tocca’s Colette is my favorite day fragrance.

    Love the cake stand display! I collect owls & as such, I have numerous mugs, planters, and even small baskets which are owl-shaped. I store eyeliner pencils & pens in one and makeup brushes in another. I also have a vintage 1950s traincase in a lovely aqua floral pattern for pans of eyeshadows & powder compacts.

    That’s an idea I could actually use! I need to keep an eye out for cute cake stands in my local thrift stores.

    This is an adorable idea! I don’t have enough perfume for this, but I kind of want to do this with all my little skincare bottles haha. Must go off to an op-shop to see if I can find a vintage one.x

    This is pretty, but I keep all my perfumes in their boxes in a a corner of my bedroom away from direct light and heat to preserve them. If I buy perfumes on EBay I will only buy boxed ones for this reason.

    Wow – so beautiful ! And I’m not a bit surprised – you’re a Tocca fanatic, too !!!

    I have every single product they make. Literally. Perfumes, lotions, creams, bath products, etc. I could put a decent downpayment on a nice car for what I spent, but they’re just sooooo amazing. My favorite is Cleopatra, a bright combination of grapefruit and cucumber.

    Great minds think alike, Karen ! Enjoy your wonderful collection 🙂

    Um, that’s fairly genius. And awesome-looking. I’m not shocked, since you’re very creative, but this is a particularly great idea. And the glass in the stand is perfect with the bottles. Well done!

    Well, that is just the cutest thing ever! My perfumes are in a flimsy little Dollar Tree plastic basket that I hate. Problem solved!

    That is so pretty! But it does require you to have perfumes that all ‘match’ in style and design of course.

    Great idea! I have a fun way to store makeup pencils or crayons — in cute mugs. I have a couple of French ones, and I keep my lip pencils/crayons in one and my eye ones in another. I keep the cap that shows the color facing up so I can see the colors at a glance.

Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
