I've been looking into having someone make me a custom built place to store and display my frags, I've a small room, so I have to figure out the best way to store them away from the sun and have easy access to em' so What I'm looking at should be something like medicine cabinets, but nothing boring, So here's what I've seen that are interesting...
Hope you guys like em' or have use for them, please post here if you've anything to add.





the slide out on both sides is plain genius!

the door itself has shelves, good place to stuff your samples,decants and what not, that's smarts!

not ideal for storing, but perfect for those collecting "bottles"


Cool stuff hidden there.


Another brilliant slide out mirror/cabinet

I Drive an Integra hatchback, and the way this one opens and the way it has those dampers look like it does on cars, really really wants me to have something like this made! ( I spy a 212 in there,lol)

I actually like the last one best. Thing about built-in, is that once your collection outgrows the allowed storage space, it may present a dilemma...

You can always have another one built when your collection outgrows the cabinet! oh, and come on matt, you're singing to the choir. I have those pics saved on my desktop. haha

I'm glad you guys like it, if you come across other nice ideas, that'd be great!

also, I just came across this one..
wouldn't it be cool if all compartments had custom sizes to have a few of your absolute favorites SNUG into place?

You mentioned small room, so I presumed you were considering just a single cabinet. Ever consider converting your room into a vault?

This modular wall looks interesting, you can have them as a nice Storage away from light and heat and turn them into nice display areas when you have guests, (or when you just want to see all of your precious' in their shining glory.




Nothing to do with the topic, just plain sexy design, Reminds me of a can of Rive Gauche. lol

It isn't that small, but I'd still like for it to have space to move, it has two beds, and I'm considering removing one of em, but I feel sorry for my friends who crash here a lot of the time, so I'd like to maybe have something floating rather than planted on the floor to still have space. although I've a big dresser that's filled with old clothes that I've zero use for, Maybe that'll make for a good frag shrine!

I know for some of you, this might be a lot more fitting.

I like the cherry wood cupboards with the mirrored doors the most, at least a as fragrance storage solution.

I bet that Ikea would be a great place to look for storage (surely, they have something like that furniture store add-on medicine cabinet)

I used this mirror from IKEA... this is quite a while ago, when my interest in perfume was just starting. Things have changed a LOT since then. Over half the bottles are different, and now I keep all of them in a dresser drawer. I keep lotion & boxed bottles in the back of the mirror yet.

I just use a cabinet I got at IKEA:


http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/50119167

I have the top loaded with frags (with the bottom shelf having a 3 tier rack from Bed Bath and Beyond meant for cans), the middle drawer stuffed with samples on a velvet covered foam insert I made, and the bottom is full of all the boxes and some body creams, etc.
I have some pics here, but a bit outdated now

(Thanks matthewfoo for the compliments!)

I'm so impressed that you made the velvet covered foam insert for samples. That's really great!
