I finally got motivated to clean up the top drawer in my vanity. Baby steps, the other drawers and medicine cabinet can wait. 😉 I laugh a little because I know many bloggers who only post really nice clean pics of their houses and once in a while say “It’s not always like this” and maybe post one dirtyish pic. Well I seem to be the opposite. Always showing you pictures of my messes. So I will go ahead and throw in an “It’s not always like this. ” There are clean places too.
- Pull everything out and sort in to categories. I did:
- hair things
- jewelry
- makeup
- thread and buttons
- stuff to move
- stuff to give away or donate
- stuff to trash
- don’t be afraid to throw or give away things you have not used in the last six months-year
2. In my drawer, I used a mesh metal organizer with 4 compartments where I stored the make up I don’t use daily, my hair things, the buttons and thread and other odds. My jewelry (that isn’t in my jewelry boxes) is in the pink pouch and the white box left over from my face cleansing wipes. The teal makeup bag holds the make up I use daily and is in the front so I can access it quickly.
There I did it! I can finally link up with Organizing Junkie’s Monthly Organizing round-up (Makeup and hair supplies) and also join in Coming Clean’s Operation Organization Challenge.

I recently did the same thing. Too bad I didn’t take before pictures. It’s always nice to have an organized space.
We have completely decluttered our house–it’s going on the market–and I wish I had taken pictures. I am married to a master hoarder and clutterer. What a difference! My makeup drawer is the lone holdout. You’ve inspired me. You always have good tips.
Great job! Organized drawers are the best. It makes getting ready in the morning so much easier. Organizing my bathroom drawers/cabinets is one of my upcoming Operation Organization goals. Keep up the great work!
Good job. I’m going thru the same thing. We just moved in with my in-laws & I’m trying to find spots for everything. It’s hard when you’re used to having a lot more space. I’m learning to go without. It’s hard but I’ll make it through. I definitely need to go thru my makeup now. Thanks for reminding me.
