Organized Bathroom Cabinet
For many the bathroom cabinet can be a frighteningly muddled wasteland of expired nail polish, hair products and medicines that will never see the glory of use again. I am here to introduce you to my bathroom cabinet. One of which I am so proud, I often include it in the tour of my house given to guests I’ve sometimes just met. I have a feeling of calm and order wash over me everytime I approach it knowing that I am going to be able to find exactly what I am looking for and in record time. Now I want you to share this feeling when you head into your bathroom to.
How I did it and you can to:
1. Empty out your bathroom cabinet onto a floor or table where you have enough room to work.
2. Grab the trash can and a recycle bin. Sit in front of all your hordes of long lost product and sort it into easily definable piles, ie.: cough & cold, stomach, soaps, thermometers, makeup, etc…Clean and recycle what you can no longer use and toss what cannot be recycled.
3. Assess your piles that are left. How much of each type is in your piles.
4. Go out and get yourself some of these handy little plastic drawer units. Except no substitutes. You may think some cute baskets would really look very nice and accomplish the same goal. Wrong; this style of drawer with the see through fronts is really the key to the success of this (and many other) organizational project. You can get them at Target or Walmart, really anywhere that sells organizational supplies and they are pretty cheap $5-10 each. I used a combination of the little ones and the big ones in order to fit each of my piles nicely into a drawer.
5. Put each pile into it’s own drawer and then the MOST IMPORTANT STEP – LABEL EVERY DRAWER. This is how you keep your husband (or wife:) from mixing up all of your amazing work.
6. Fix yourself a drink and sip it in awe in front of your new masterpiece.
Remember by doing this you are also helping the environment and your wallet, because when you can find the things you already have they don’t go to waste and you don’t have to buy new ones.
