Organize: Bathroom Vanity

I have been wanting to organize our upstairs bathroom vanity forever. 

My advise: use baskets, baskets and more baskets. Or some type of drawer organizer. This will help you keep your "like" items together. 

HIS Side

HER Side 

At my second job {Tuesday Morning} I found these clear drawer organizers that I thought would be perfect for this job! Here are my results:

HIS Side After! 

HER Side After!

What a difference!! 

Andrew keeps all of his main things on the counter, so of course, I use a basket to keep them contained. 

I've put all of my lotions, perfumes, face cleaners and deodorant in this one basket. I put all "like" items near each other and put them in from tall to short, so it would be easier to see everything. 

This is my favorite part! My nail polish station! Everything I need is all together, so I just have to grab this organizer tray and start my manicure!  

I've used a drawer organizer to sort all of our medicine. We also have medicine downstairs in the kitchen, so this is our upstairs stash. 

Put "like" items together for easier access. Examples: allergy, pain relievers, first aid and miscellaneous.

All of his shaving and trimming things are all in this one bag. Together. He has no excuse now. :)

Playing With Vinyl

Over the past few weeks, I have purchased several vinyl decals from Etsy.

Here is my journey of transforming a few items around the house!

I bought a Martha Stewart Vintage Canister, but it came in with "SUGAR" and I was expecting "COFFEE." I got it on sale and used a coupon, so I thought, "I'm just going to make lemonade out of these lemons!" The back side of this canister is blank, so I turned it around and ordered a "COFFEE" vinyl in yellow!

I've never applied a vinyl decal before, but OMG it is super easy!

So easy, I attempted more projects all in the same night!

The BF always, I mean always is asking "Have you seen my keys anywhere?"

So, here is the solution I came up with. 

We ventured out to Peddlers Mall {my favorite place} and I was on the lookout for 2 things: one being an oblong or rectangular white dish. Found this beauty for $2!!

Added the key decals and voilà!

The other thing I was on the lookout for at Peddlers Mall was a cup, pitcher or mug that I could put my makeup brushes in. This task was harder than I thought because it needed to be the right height and have enough room for all of my brushes. 

OK, so she needs a little work....

 So, spray painting I go...

So cute, right?

And SO easy!!

Makeover

OK, so maybe it's not a makeover...it's more like an overdue clean up. {wink}

I know, I know...it's really bad!

My thinking behind putting the tray on the bed was: If it is there, then I at least don't have the whole bed to put my clothes on. Or maybe if it looks pretty, I won't mess it up [doubt it]. The problem is this is where I get dressed in the mornings and change in the evenings. I tend to rush and lay throw my clothes on the bed and go on to the next thing. I am literally always late! We will see how long this will last. 

{See the tag still on the flowers? I'm really bad about this}

Lanterns are some kind of obsession I have. And BOOKS...love books!

REAL books are the best interior accessory. It's like jewelry to fashion. I absolutely go for previously "loved" books. My favorite place is Half Price Books or I buy books on clearance at Tuesday Morning (one of my many jobs). 

I wanted to mix a couple of colors/patterns/textures, but I am definitely in the market for a patterned pillow of some sort! Below are a few options that caught my eye.

Do you have a favorite? Comment and help me decide!

This closet will be my next undertaking. I let the BF take the master closet because he was in the house before me, so I took the two guest closets and every door to hang organizers on. :) 

So. here's what I'm thinking for the new organization of this closet. Bookcases for my shoes..boots probably on the floor.. and I really want one of those clothes valets so I can set my outfit out the night before. 

Oh, and this cute ladder {OMG totally doing this!}

I will hopefully have some "after" pictures soon.
