Thursday Organization Inspiration :: The Dollar Section

I love the dollar section at Target, Walmart and Michaels. They always have some bright and colorful containers and baskets. The new spring containers have great colors and patterns and are perfect for organizing all types of items.


 Look what I did with just $3.00.

Here is the before of the medicine cabinet in my bathroom. This medicine cabinet has clear glass doors so you could see the mess as soon as you walked into the bathroom. Awesome. This cabinet needed help ASAP and as you can see, all of my earrings used to be piled up on the bottom of the cabinet. Super convenient {sarcasm}(Click here to see how I organized all of my earrings.)

This is where $3.00 changed the entire look of the cabinet. I found these small boxes for $0.97 a piece

at Wal-Mart. I divided up the supplements and medications into a box for my husband and a box for myself as well as a box for toothpaste, floss and chap stick. Everything that was in there before is still in there - except for the mirror, glasses lens cleaner, and of course my earrings. 

Always check the dollar section! You never know when you will feel organization motivation!

What are you going to organize today?

Operation: Scarf Organization

I love scarves. I have a lot of them all piled on top of each other on a tie rack in my closet. Not such a great way to organize them. I can never find the one I want to wear and, honestly, I sometimes forget that I even own some of them. It is fun to find one that I had forgotten about but, I would rather have them organized.

BEFORE (my actual closet)

So....

 I purchased shower curtain rings for $1.18 a pack. This is how it turned out.

 Oh yeah, and while I was organizing my scarves I moved over to organize my purses. 

They aren't stacked on top of each other any more!

Not only did I have scarves hanging from the tie rack I also had belts.
I just hung each belt on it's own ring. 

 I no longer have to take all of the belts off of the hook to
 find the one I want. They are hung individually.

So organized! I can see the top of the drawer unit! It used to be
 piled with scarves. I organized all of my small purses/clutches in
a shoebox size tote and the rest are stacked neatly on a wire shelf
that wasn't being used. (There are towels lining the wire shelves to
prevent damage to the purses.)

*Update*

I recently replaced the plastic shower rings with

metal rings ($8 - Target) because the plastic was

snagging some of my scarves.

It feels so good to be a little more organized. I wonder what I should tackle next?
