Well hello stranger! (how often do I start my posts with that? need to be more original!) Hope you had a fab March break \u2013 it went by so quickly!<\/p>\n

Just wanted to share a few other areas of my home that were organized because I was tired of searching for things and not knowing what I have. It\u2019s amazing how a little organization puts a spring in your step!<\/p>\n

\"Vanessa<\/a><\/p>\n

I used to work for a closet company (the one with the very cool ads!) and before I left, I had a few closets in my home \u201corganized.\u201d It is an investment for sure, but worth every penny.  Usually closets come with a single rod with one shelf above. Not very functional at all. This is half of my front hall closet \u2013 the other side has a double rod for shorter jackets\/coats. The center section has a single rod for longer coats.<\/p>\n

But what I added recently to keep the three of us organized was individual baskets for each of us. Not sure why I didn\u2019t think of that before!  (I\u2019m #2 with the Anthro hat that I have never worn but it looks nice on the shelf!) When I found these wire baskets from HomeSense<\/a>, I knew they would be perfect.  You can see everything at a glance and the yellow colour is fun.<\/p>\n

\"Vanessa

If you had seen this make-up drawer before, you wouldn\u2019t have believed it! I am the queen of \u201cbonuses\u201d \u2013 you know when you spend $x at a makeup counter in a department store, you get a whack of free goodies. I must have had at least 50 tubes\/lipsticks\/makeup that I never even opened.  I have enough face creams to last a few years!<\/p>\n

Acrylic containers (from Solutions<\/a>) come in all shapes and sizes and are perfect for housing makeup as they are easy to clean. Notice the Cole & Son wallpaper as a drawer liner? Makes me smile every morning!<\/p>\n

\"Vanessa

These under cabinet drawers\/shelves are a must for keeping this area tidy and accessible. I had them installed via the builder and I am so glad I did. I recently added the cloth containers (from Ikea<\/a>) and this has drastically reduced the amount of time I take to get ready in the am.  For real!<\/p>\n

\"Vanessa

I\u2019m not much of a jewellery\/bauble kind of girl but I do love bracelets. I store them in pretty bowls (blue ones from the One of a Kind Show and gold\/bronze one from West Elm<\/a>) and a pretty plate.  The tray (from HomeSense) looks like an antique but isn\u2019t. I had searched I don\u2019t know how many thrift\/vintage shops looking for something similar with no luck.  The mirror is from a hotel liquidation store and check out my beautiful grey dresser from Geovin<\/a>. I will share once the entire room is done. (Not sure when that will be, hopefully this year!)<\/p>\n

So, all it takes is a little creativity and shopping when organizing those trouble spots in your home.<\/p>\n

What tips do you have to keep organized? I\u2019m all ears!<\/p>\n

Have a great week!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
