Did I mention that my husband is wonderful to have around the house, among his other talents? He promised me that he would help me organize my make-up drawer, and yes he did! My make-up drawer was a mess for some time, as you can see, 
and I was just itching to do something about it. Since it is a tiny drawer and I hadn’t found any suitable containers that were reasonably priced, I designed my own system.
It took me some time to figure out the exact measurements, because I wanted everything to fit just so. I drew it on a piece of paper, and then Matt cut out the pieces I needed from an old piece of plywood we had laying around. Someday I may paint the wood and put down a paper cover in the bottom, but this is good enough for now!
I am happy with the results, and this only cost a little bit of time. Thanks honey!
Now, I am not a naturally organized person. I usually know where my stuff is, but that doesn’t mean it has a place. On Saturday we began with the usual, “What do you want to do today?” When I suggested Matt make me some compartments to help me organize my make-up drawer, he consented if I agreed to help him organize the dreaded pantry. I agreed on the condition that he let me buy some organizing bins and let me paint. He gave in! Yay!
This project took the whole weekend, but overall I am quite pleased with the results. I picked out a nice gray paint color for the walls and some black baskets for the shelves.
We ended up painting our shelves, too, because they looked so crummy. Matt was a bit apprehensive about me buying these baskets (as he sometimes is about my grand ideas), but I think he would tell you now that my ideas turn out pretty good! 🙂
This project was not too expensive: just the cost of paint and less than $100 for all the bins. We got several of them for CHEAP, CHEAP, CHEAP! I love it how Bed, Bath, and Beyond sends us coupons all the time. They let you use them even when they are expired. Score!
In my own skin...
