I recently snagged some new makeup brushes and couldn’t be more excited to use them. However, I still keep all my makeup and brushes in a giant travel case. I decided I need a simple holder for my brushes so that they don’t get all smushed which will shorten their life. I thought about just using some mason jars or small vases, but feel they wouldn’t look as modern as I would like. I am on the hunt and it is my goal to get this tackled over the weekend. Here are some ideas. What do you keep your makeup and brushes in? ♥

I love these Bodum drinking glasses, I may have to repurpose them for brushes:

This skull glass from Urban Outfitters would be a fun addition to my bathroom counter:

This simple black lines on this drinking glass from Anthropologie add just enough interest:

These Jonathan Adler glasses are a fun pop of color, or I could do just the white:

I think visits to my grandpa’s “dead animal room” (as we called it as kids) influenced my most recent purchase. My dad and grandpa are skilled rifle marksmen and there is an impressive room in my grandparents’ home with the animals. I was instantly drawn to this white deer head because it evokes memories of visiting the room and is modern enough to look chic in our apartment. Here are some fabulous rooms that include animal heads, both real and fake (via pinterest). I will share images of our updated apartment soon! Would you hang an animal head (real or fake) in your home? ♥

Today I’m heading back home to Danville for Christmas and I wanted to share the magical wonderland that I will be going home to. My mom is obviously one of Santa’s most talented helpers and turns our home into an unbelievable Christmas utopia.

I am off to enjoy every last morsel of fun, food and family this long weekend has to offer. Happy Holidays! ♥

Oh how I wish I had the time to turn my whole apartment into a winter wonderland! Swooning over these images has me dreaming of a white Christmas for sure. ♥
