this is the one I got, says not available now. It's not large enough for all my razors but for $5 I figured I would experiment. I may use it to hold pens also.
Edit: wrong word.
For those of us you can't drop that much cash:
cheap alternative
modernish looking rack
wire racks of various size and color are available
A standard cart on Amazon should work. We have this one which is nice because we can take it apart, but it is on the expensive side. Luxor EC111-B Tub Storage Cart 3 Shelves - Black,32" x 18" https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FJUZY8Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_XEirDbS29BGNG
I'm ready for this question! I have a whole bookmark tab because I'm planning on building a vanity and redoing all of my storage. I'll give you a sneak peak into it (; Let me know if you want more! I have a bit more than a dozen of these things saved.
First up, acrylic drawer organizers!. Much cheaper than most other competition I've seen. I use these to house blush and bronzer and whatnot. If you guys can find a flaw in the first one I linked please let me know since that is what I'm planning on buying!
For samples, lots of people go for ammo boxes but I'm thinking of buying test tube racks/cases such as this or this. There's also a stainless steel options of the later version that look really pretty but are much more expensive and since these will be in drawers...I don't care quite that much.
If you do go for ammo boxes, however, this particular box has been mentioned several times in the past. It won't fit the longer or short and fat samples, but it'll do fine for most others. I don't care for it because of the color options, to be quite honest about it. It's a superficial thing and if you don't care I've seen many great reviews of this box.
For full-sized bottles, I've seen people use cake stands and pretty trays but since perfumes are light sensitive I plan on hanging a spice rack like this one inside a cabinet. Really you can hang it anywhere as long as it's out of light and humidity (so not in your bathroom!).
Look on amazon if it's available to you - not super expensive
Also, just saw amazon has tube racks as well which would be AWESOME for short term product storage in a hotel/gues bathroom throws money at screen
> For example, this box set contains almost all the colors you will ever need (other than specific ones). https://www.amazon.com/Miniature-Painting-Bonus-Wargamer-Regiment/dp/B01MTXRUUT/ref=sr_1_4?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1524496671&sr=1-4&keywords=army+painter
These paints are great. I bought the same set and the dropper bottles are perfect for painting with a wet palette. I've grown to hate the GW paint pots. You can also use test tube holders to organize them at your painting station.
These hold the 8ml vials sold by wizardlabs.

You can get lots of cute ideas from The Container Store, if you're also in the need for storage on top of the vanity.
One of my favorite options is a magnetic board also. You can either get them like this off Etsy, or you can buy a magnetic board at Michaels/Home Depot with some small magnets and DIY. I'm fond of just a plain magnetic board with no covering, too. Looks kind of ... I don't know, rustic? Is that the word? It's really easy to do and ends up saving you counter space.
There's also Fold-out type desks that will save you space. I know you said you now have the room for a full vanity, but space savers give your floor space a clean, modern feel that I personally like. You could even stick a cute lounge chair under it to be used as your makeup chair and reading chair depending on the time of day. :)
If you won't find yourself refinishing an older product, my only concerns would be squeaky drawers (I get goosebumps just thinking about that noise, ew, ew, ew) and paint flaking off if it's previously been painted. Neither of those might bother you. If you can find something kickass at a garage sale or antique shop, that's awesome.
Edit: Don't forget about cake stands for perfumes or other jarred liquids as well. This one is a little gaudy, but you get the idea.
Spice racks for nail polish storage.
Test tube racks for brush storage.
Did I go way off topic? You asked about vanities, and I went mostly with accesorries. Oop.
Ooh
Ah
Edit: screw that, I've got 9 tanks, I'm getting this and a pack of 60 tubes.
Something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Empty-Test-Tube-Block-tubes/dp/B0032YOJGC/ref=sr_1_39?ie=UTF8&qid=1408631583&sr=8-39&keywords=test+tube+rack
You might be able to find a stand like made for regular pens, vape pens or crafting supplies. I've seen wood ones on Amazon and clear plastic ones at Dollarama.
Maybe this will do the job, might be too tall though. https://www.amazon.ca/Ajax-Scientific-Drying-Capacity-Length/dp/B00EPQ4SL2/ref=sr_1_10?
or this

This single pen stand might be what you want too.

http://www.amazon.com/BenchPro-Polyurethane-Cleanroom-Workbench-Footring/dp/B008KO698K/
This is only $12.26 shipped and it holds 13. However, it says 1-4 months to ship?!
Just an fyi. The third option already exists by many different options. One popular option is sortimo. Another one would be these boxes which have a compatible drawer type rack like this one. The stool one though I like. I have a stool I use all the time at work that has a platform under it where I will lay the stuff I need. So just having it on board in a drawer might work well.
If you're looking to store lots of small sample bottles or vials, cryoboxes may be your best friend! https://www.amazon.com/Heathrow-Scientific-Microtube-Cryogenic-Polypropylene/dp/B006BDDDEA/ref=pd_day0_328_5?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B006BDDDEA&pd_rd_r=AZSXHA6SR0KJ9KQ0G9ZH&pd_rd_w=ypH9w&pd_rd_wg=uEcC1&psc=1&refRID=AZSXHA6SR0KJ9KQ0G9ZH
Here's a nice one...if you find you have a hard time organizing 216 makeup brushes >.>
You can set out the drinks in these beakers!
You can put pixie stick sugar (or soda?) in these test tubes!
They can all wear these safety goggles that come in a 12 pack!
They can all play Mouse Trap!
You can get this 24-pack of magnifying glasses and set up a scavenger hunt around the house, leading them all to a room where they work together to make an exploding volcano!
You can use these syringe pens as party favors.
These alien test tubes would make great centerpieces/party favors as well! This would probably be the coolest thing at the party. :D
And here are some more party favors - test tube bubbles!
Hope that helps! She sounds like an awesome kid. My daughter just turned 8 and she would have loved a party like this too! :)
Grab some clean ones from the lab... ha, just kidding. I do science too, and considered that aesthetic for centerpieces as well (we decided to go with a travel theme instead). Amazon actually has a TON of test tubes, erlenmeyer flasks, graduated cylinders, and other glassware for pretty good prices. Here's a wooden test tube rack that looks pretty cool, and there are loads of others as well. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!
