I’ve been living in Murphy law(s) land for the last couple of weeks – nothing is going as it should. :angry:
My darling cheered me up with special DIY project – we made a medium sized nail polish rack/stand. :wub:
At first we planed to make a rack from scratch, but we couldn’t find appropriate materials, so we decided to convert CD rack into the nail polish one. They were the only piece of furniture narrow enough for my needs.
We bought inexpensive CD rack in Lidl store. The only downside were plastic organizers, but we got rid of them. :silly: We bought the saw, but otherwise we found a lot of useful tools among the things we already owned: kitchen knives, foot files … . :biggrin:
I made Youtube clip of the rack from both sides and few pics of building process itself. If you get sea sick, you might want to skip the last part with the actual movie – my hands shake a lot so the camera is all over the place. :haha:
I removed the “back” of the rack so I can better see the polishes. First I wanted to have two middle shelves but there just wasn’t enough vertical space between larger shelves. I put rack on transport wheel and I now have mobile nail polish rack. :w00t:
Photo of the rack for the end with approximately 170 polishes on it:
Now I need another stand for the rest of my polishes. This time it can be wider, so I’ll have better choice among the CD racks. :biggrin:
P.S. Results of the Summer is here! giveaway will probably be known later today. Most of the entries is already entered in the spreadsheet. :happy:Zadnjih štirinajst dni se počutim kot, da zame velja Murphyjev zakon(i) – nič ne gre tako kot mora. :angry:
Morasto obdobje mi je polepšal moj dragi s katerim sva se lotila izdelave srednje velikega stojala za lakce. Najprej je bil sicer načrt, da ga sestaviva iz nič, vendar pa nisva nikjer našla lepo obdelanih desk, sama se pa lepljena in brušenja večjih površin nisva želela lotiti. Zato sva izbrala srednjo pot – predelavo.
CD stojala/regali/komode so bili na moje presenečenje edini kosi pohištva, ki so bili dovolj ozki za moje potrebe.
Lidl je imel ravno v akciji luštno stojalo (~ 20 EUR), ki je (razen globine) krasno ustrezal mojim zahtevam. Edini minus je bila plastika za razvrščanje CDjev, ki je bila prilepljena na deske … a smo se tudi te rešili. :silly: Po ostale potrebščine sva se odpravila v OBI, Bauhaus in Baumax. Čeprav so prišli prav tudi kuhinjski noži, grobe pilice za stopala in še marsikaj kar sva že imela doma. :biggrin:
Kako je potekalo sestavljanje ter pogled na stojalo z obeh strani si poglejte v Youtube filmčku. Že vnaprej opozarjam, da nimam prav mirne roke, tako da se dejanski videoposnetki tresejo, migajo in odsvetujem ogled zadnjega dela vsem, ki trpite za morsko boleznijo. :haha:
“Hrbet” sem odstranila za boljši pregled nad laki. Želela sem jih sicer imeti v treh etažah, vendar so bili razmaki med policami premajhni za tak podvig. Težavo z obračanjem sem rešila s transportnim vozičkom, tako da imam sedaj mobilno stojalo za lake. :w00t:
In še ena fotografija stojala za konec s približno 170 laki:
Sedaj potrebujem še eno stojalo, ki pa ni nujno, da je tako ozko, tako da imam na voljo večji izbor CD omaric. :biggrin:
P.S. Rezultati Poletje je tu! giveawaya bodo znani verjetno še danes. Počasi bodo namreč v tabeli že vsi vnosi. :happy:
I really like this. And, I’d love to have one…or two. But the downside would that my husband would actually SEE how many nail polishes I have. :scared:
Mine is very understanding about my love for polishes, so that was never the problem. :biggrin:
That’s a really a cool idea. :idea: I’d have to try to remember that. I have all mine in a caboddle makeup case and in two little storage cases and a few on my dresser.
Amazing idea and work!!! :happy:
Thx. My darling would say that the work was mostly his part. :biggrin:
sploh ne vem kaj je lepše – stojalo od daleč ali posnetki teh čudovitih barvnih lepotcev od blizu! Krasno!
:rose:
Great idea! I need a place to store my polishes, and love this, it looks both useful and “decorative”!
Thx. I find this way very useful for quick access to my favorite polishes. :biggrin:
really nice :) I have my polishes in lunch boxes :whistle:

But they get addictive very fast. :biggrin:
Všeeeeeč mi je, Gejba, pravi podvig. :fju:
Laki so pa lepiiiiiii. :stars:
.-= Mamy´s last post … Vamos a la Playa- part 2 =-.
Gejba, tole je pa res fantastično! W-o-w!! :drop: Še večje pohvale si zaslužita, ker sta čisto sama vse skupaj predelala! Zdaj si mi res dala idejo, čeprav jaz takega stojala za 170 lakov še lep čas ne bom zapolnila (bi pa imela vsaj izgovor za kupovanje novih :wink: ). Me pa nekaj zanima, če sem lahko mal firbčna – si kaj računala na število lakov, ki bi jih spravila v eno vrsto, se pravi na njihovo višino in obliko (glede na to, da ni dveh znamk z isto stekleničko, se mi zdi namreč velik dosežek, da ti tako fino padejo v polico), ali si kupovala čisto glede na velikost omarice, ki bi ti ustrezala glede na prostor v sobi?
Hvala. :rose:
Vodila me je predvsem širina omarice, ker imam ravno toliko prostora ob pisalni mizi in sem želela imeti poleg lakce. :biggrin:
Pri količini lakov, ki jo imam jaz se vedno najdejo ustrezne oblike, ki zapolnijo eno polico. :blush:
Ni sicer še čisto dokončana, ker iščem še kak kratek in ozek rolo, tako da tudi svetloba ne bi prišla do živega mojim lepotcem. :silly:
geniale! ^_^
And very useful. :biggrin:
awesome idea :D
Thx. :rose:
