After receiving rather a lot of toiletries and cosmetics for Christmas my already fully stocked bathroom needed some organisational help. But, due to always being broke I couldn't go out and spend lots of money on storage. So, I went to my local discount/pound type store and invested the sum of £11.98 on two small plastic sets of drawers. Now Kirstie Allsopp I certainly am not, but here is my before and after pics of my bathroom closet.
My closet has three shelves, and the floor for storage. I am so grateful I have this space as I live in a very small flat, and God knows how I would manage without this area for my toiletries, towels and sheets.This is the top shelf of my closet. Until Christmas it only held my towels.
The second shelf, the main area for my make up, nail varnish, extra toiletries etc. It was much neater before Christmas!
The floor! Prior to Christmas the only things here were my bathroom cleaning supplies, toilet rolls and a toiletry bag I have packed and ready for guests to use. Looks such a mess now though, and I hate mess!
So, how did it all look afterwards? Well it does look neater and neatness makes me happy, I know I'm sad aren't I? I blame my star sign, I'm a Virgo :)
The only extra thing now on this shelf is this wee wicker drawer set, which has all my nail varnishes in.
I was very generous and put my boyfriends daily toiletries in the little pink box at the front :)
OK, so this may not look particularly neat but everything is now organised. I managed to sort my cleaning products out so they all fit back in the white box. The black and red box now has all my shower gels in, should keep me going for a while! At the back are all my shampoos, and of course there are toilet rolls and extra mouth wash at the side. Oh nearly forgot the floral toiletry bag at the back. This holds my travel toiletries, and under it is a toiletry bag for guests.
Anyway I feel a bit happier now I have organised this area. Who else has had to get organising to fit all their Christmas gifts into an already full space?
I always enjoy having a good sort out of my beauty products and toiletries! Just after Christmas is the perfect time to do it as you said, because most of us get them as gifts. Love the little draws you have for your makeup. I'm currently using a big vanity box I got for Christmas to store all of mine :) xo
ReplyDeleteYeah the drawers were cheap, through necessity but they work for now. Feels good to have everything organised after the mess of having presents all over the house!
