i actually had the energy to do a project around the house! there are tons of projects to do but clearly i tackled the bathroom first. actually it was the closet :) which was fun but nothing to post about.
here’s the before pic in the bathroom. i’m an organized person but just didn’t have the time, and husband was not happy about that section. it is right in front of the main mirror in the bathroom so there’s no escaping it’s craziness.
so i made the super long field trip to ikea and bought these simple yet useful canvas organizers. they’re 2 for 3 bucks. i wanted to decorate them somehow since white was a little boring. got some felt and glued the words on them. hair=head bands, wraps, etc. skin=lotions, perfumes, face=face wash, lotion, neck=necklaces, wrist=bracelets….you get the point :)
here’s the after! it’s a lot better than before but not sure if husband likes it. ha. hope everyone has a great day!!! tomorrow is friday. yay!!!
*****update: as of now i have rearranged the bottom shelf with the meds and stuff since Penny pants can now get into everything. so yes…those who have small children, think about the reachable shelves. ;)
peace and love

I recently wrapped some shoeboxes in some cute fabric for this same purpose, but they were looking a little boring. I love this idea and might have to try it! Thanks :)

What a great idea! We are about to move into a new house, so I’m looking around to get some fun organizing ideas. Is that rope that you used? If so, how did you make it stay on the baskets?

hey kailey!! thanks, and congrats on the new home! it’s actually yarn! and i just hot glued them on some white felt, and then pinned the felt to the basket. that way if i ever wanted to change it i can just easily take off the felt. :)

Love your idea, but could you PLEASE put your container for Meds on an upper shelf to keep away from your little one. Thanks, mother of five, grandmother of six, and wife of a pharmacist.
