Makeup Organization

I have been wanting to organize my bathroom - particularly my makeup. I have never really had a specific way I organize my makeup. I have always just used one container where I stash all of my goods. Through the years as I have collected more and more [you know how that goes] I decided that the one container method is probably not the best way to store my makeup. It also makes it hard to keep everything clean -- since all of my makeup is just thrown into one tub. 

So I knew I needed to find a new method that would work better for me. I needed something to separate my makeup but still kept things accessible and functional. Something easy to grab and use. 

James and I were at Ikea over the weekend, and I saw their pull-out storage line, Kupol. Right when I saw these I knew they would work perfectly to organize my makeup. They have them in different sizes and you can combine and stack them however you want! I also love their simple design and that they are easy to clean.

So I got to work and organized my make up into different drawers. I also labeled each drawer with chalkboard stickers that I got at Michael's. 

I am currently storing these containers under my sink and I love how easy it is to pull out whatever drawer I need. I think that is what I love most about these pull out storage containers. If I need my "face" makeup, I just pull out that specific drawer. 

And you can stack them however you want!

And yes, I have been hiding behind these babies the entire time I was taking pictures. :) How do you organize your makeup?

Ikea Storage Boxes & Printable Labels

So I have been slowly trying to get organized in our new home, but let me tell you it is a work in progress. I have so many fun ideas and projects that I want start (I should probably stay off Pinterest for a while) that I have decided to focus on one project at a time so I don't get overwhelmed. This past weekend I decided I wanted to tackle my craft room and start by organizing all of my storage containers.

I have my craft room set up upstairs in our bonus room above the garage. I love this room because of the fun ceilings, the gorgeous view, and how much space I get -- I can do some serious crafting in this room. I am currently using Ikea's Kasset Line of paper and media storage boxes to organize my craft and office supplies. I really love these boxes, they look great and I love the contrast of the kraft paper with the white bookcase. They also do a good job at keeping all of my little nicknacks organized. Ikea has them in all sizes and colors and at a good price too.

So I got busy and reorganized all of my stuff. Question, why does it feel so good to organize drawers and boxes? It can't be just me who feels this way. Nothing looks like it changed on the outside, but you know that everything is where it is suppose to be. I even had James come and take a look -- I was so proud of my hard work. I am not sure if he appreciated it as much as I did. :)

Designing the labels was the funnest part. After getting all of the boxes they way I wanted, I created new labels for each one. I really love the they way everything turned out. If you like the labels that I created I have made them available for you to download.

Now that my craft room is organized the next step is decorating...
