more cabinet/closet organization!

I told you yesterday that I had more bins to use, closets to conquer, under-sink darkness to overcome. Here is the other upstairs bathroom, under the sink. The previous owners already had the little shelves on the side installed, so that helped a lot. I love the plastic shoe bins from the dollar store, but when 3 or 4 are stacked on top of one another, it gets a bit ridiculous. The open bins were the perfect solution, the yellow ones are from the dollar tree.

And the little hall linen closet. I just cut a nylon shoe holder in half and hung it up to store medicines, bandaids, misc.

And yes, we have been known to have all 3 humidifiers going at once in different rooms.closet

Yessssss. You need some tums? How about a heat pack for your back? A cough drop? I know where they are now!!

under the sink organization

I was so inspired when I saw how Alejandra organized her under her bathroom sink!  As in, I came across it at 10 p.m. while I was perusing Pinterest, was mournful that we don’t have a Container Store within driving distance and I even thought about driving out to our 24 hr Walmart right then and there to see if they had open stackable bins. I restrained myself though, and headed out the next day and this is what I found:

organizing with stackable bins

plus a shower caddy at the dollar store that I cut the bottom shelf off:dollar store shower caddy

And then I cleared the nightmare under the sink out. And yes, that is a Bumpit you see stashed in the back!!under sink before

Oh dear.

take it all out

I hung the cut off shower caddy on a little screw,hairspray on dollar store shower caddy

and everything else went into the bins. It’s sooo nice to just reach in and grab instead of digging through dark piles.

Who needs therapy?? Spend $10 and organize under your sink!under sink organization

And I didn’t stop there. It’s the give a mouse a cookie syndrome, if you start there, then you go to the other sink, then the hall closet, and then….more coming!! Watch out…signature
