Organizing Week 7 – Bathroom Vanity

Getting Organized

This is my bathroom…you have my spray painted faucet, my spray painted vanity and medicine cabinet (they used to match my kitchen cabinets…what a transformation, huh?), my spray painted garbage can and so on…looks pretty harmless, right?!


WRONG!!!  Oh me – oh my…my bathroom vanity is a MESS!!




How do things get this bad?!

Not anymore…I’m tired of the mess.  We are going to use the space we have and use it well!!
I paid one of my boys to take everything out and organize “like things”  throwing away any junk.
This made it easier to get it all together after I picked up some Dollar Store containers.

I labeled them with some burlap tags (I just cut strips of burlap and then used a sharpie to write on them) and each of us has one to keep our personal things in.


I cleaned out this nasty vanity as well.



I guess I could have wiped it out but I have no intentions of using it again!

If When I redo my bathroom, the vanity is going and I want to replace it with a nice mirror.  So I thought I’d get a jump start and store the stuff from it in our own little boxes.

Doesn’t it look so much better?  We’ve been using this system of boxes for a couple of weeks now and everyone is doing very well putting things back where they belong.  It makes for a nice clean counter top too!

The drawers are now holding just washcloths and hand towels.
I found this organizer for inside the door.  It’s a great place for our toothpaste and my curling iron and brush.


LOVE it!
Are you getting organized and staying organized??
It’s such a good feeling!!
Blessings

    Looks great! Though I have to say mine is 5x worse than yours was…will have to hit up Dollar store for those containers- great affordable idea 🙂 Where did you find that over the cupboard door organizer and was it expensive?? I am thinking you will inspire me to clean my home- I am moving in 4 mths and need to get a handle on things now

    Thanks…I found the door organizer at Home Depot…it was around $6.50. I hope I can inspire you. All the inspiration in blogland has really helped me want to get it together!

    I had to laugh because I raised 4 also…3 boys and a girl and my husband’s name was Mark. But when you said “How does it get this bad”? I laughed because I used to say the same thing and I’ll answer that question….There’s only 1 of YOU and 5 of them!!!LOL! You are WAY outnumbered! LOL! I used to scratch my head all the time trying to figure out why I couldn’t stay on top of things and the answer was right in front of me running around and some were sitting on the couch! But they were a big help too and we did some fun projects together and gardened together and made memories. Good ones I hope!
    I think it was you that got me going on my kitchen and now my cupboards but I am way slower than you but I love that at this stage of my life I can go at my own pace…which, granted, is more like a snail these days but I still love making a house a home. Thanks for the inspiration and blessings to you and your beautiful family.

    Thanks so much for the sweet comment. I am certainly outnumbered…great theory!! My kids are helpful (when they want to be) and I do greatly appreciate their help. I certainly couldn’t do all I do now without their help. I too hope they are making good memories…being a family and working together.
    Thanks for sticking around for my organizing adventure…keep going on the kitchen!!
    Blessings,
    Carrie

    I just tweaked under my bathroom sink. I installed toothbrush holders (the metal kind with a cup hole in the middle) in the inside of the door. 2 hairbrushes fit in each cup hole! No more basket of brushes on the vanity counter!!
