Organizing My Mom’s Bathroom Cabinets

Hello All! Happiest Monday to you!

Today, I’d like to take a moment to share a little more organizing that I had completed for my mother, back in January.  

I organized under her bathroom cabinet:

Using Dollar Tree bins.  These ones are the same that I used in my:

Linen Closet

In my Paper Tableware cabinet,

and I also used one of these same baskets under my kitchen sink.

When I opened my moms cabinet in the bathroom, I knew right away that she just needed a few bins to calm the chaos going on in there.

Dollar Tree bins are always an inexpensive, quick, organizing solution, So.. we picked some of them up and used them in her bathroom.

:)

I didn’t get a before picture, but I did manage to take a couple of photo’s during…

Notice that when pulling items out of the space(s) that I organize, I tend to pile “like” items together.  That way you can sort through as you go.

Hair supplies go in one basket.

Curling irons, flat irons and blow dryers in another.

Miscellaneous in another…

Make-up in another basket

and toilet paper in another.  There was one more basket and it holds feminine supplies.

I used an existing organizer that my mom had to sort hair things…

Barrettes in one drawer

Elastic bands in another

Headbands in another,

and bobby-pins in another.

and that’s it, my mom’s bathroom cabinets in Delightful Order.

If you missed the rest of her home organization, you can view each post, by clicking the photo(s) below:

That’s all that I plan on sharing from my mom’s home organization. Hope this has inspired some of you to bring delightful order to your home in some way. 

Spring is the perfect time for organizing.  What space do you want to tackle organizing?  Be sure to share it at our Delightfully Inspiring Thursday Party any Thursday.  I’d LOVE to see your spaces.

May you be a little inspired!

Until next time,

Organized Fabric & Sewing Supply Cabinets

Happy Monday Everyone!  Hope you had a great weekend!

Today I’m showing you how I’ve organized my sewing supply cabinets.  Not that I do a lot of sewing (I’m certainly not that great at it.) BUT I do like a “custom” look in my home and to get that, without paying “custom” prices, I have whipped up a few curtains and pillows in my time.

I store my sewing machine and supplies in my laundry room.  Later this week, I’ll show you the entire laundry room reveal.  I designed the room to have lots of cabinet space.  These upper cabinets are where I keep my sewing supplies.

My awesome sewing machine was a garage sale bargain that I got quite a few years ago.  (Thanks Darla W.)  If you remember, I got this one from you and it’s been so great to have.

To organize these cabinets, I found some more dollar tree baskets.  You already know that I’ve used Dollar Tree baskets and bins throughout my home.

I took all of my material pieces and went through and organized them by color, throwing out really small pieces and ones that I don’t think I’ll use.

I can assure you, I don’t have near as much material as my mom.  If you missed the post on organizing her sewing room, you can view it HERE.

Here’s the cabinet directly above the sewing machine.

I attached command hooks to the inside of the cabinet doors.

One side holds my ruler and cutting mat…

… and the other side holds my large scissors.

My supplies basket holds my little scissors, pin cushion, seam ripper and other supplies.

These little plastic holders are also from the Dollar Tree.  I think there might have been six to a pack.

Those rectangular labels can be found in my Etsy Shop HERE and these ones are edit-able. Simply type in the words that you want on the labels and print.  (The font style and sizing can not be changed.)  You can use these labels wherever you want.  Labeling whatever you wish.

The top drawer holds cutters, iron-on patches and my sewing machine tools.

The middle drawer holds buttons and zippers,

The button makers are organized inside little containers.

and the bottom drawer holds my thread.

threaded bobbins are stored in another one of those small plastic containers, inside the thread drawer.

and the rest of the cabinets hold all those dollar tree baskets I showed you earlier.

These round circle labels can be found in my Shop HERE.  Again, these ones are Editable. (not to be confused with edible ;) 

and more…

The other cabinet looks like so:

With more of those baskets and material organized by color.

It’s so great to have these cabinets in order.  Makes finding exactly what I’m looking for, simple as pie.

So if I wanted to, I could spend more time sewing and not so much time looking for items that I need.

Again, you can find the rectangular labels that I used in these cabinets here,

and the circle labels here

That’s all folks!  My sewing cabinets have been brought to Delightful Order… and I like it. :)

How about you?  What space(s) would you like to bring to Delightful Order?  Do share, I’d love to hear from you.

May you be a little inspired!
Until next time,

Dollar Tree Organizing

If you read my blog often than you already know that I do a lot of organizing with items from the Dollar Tree. 

I mean seriously, who would have ever thought that the Dollar Tree would have so many different options for organizing? I’ve spent a small fortune there (and I know so many of you all have too, because you’ve told me so.)  

I finished my bathroom drawer organizing recently:

and yep.. you guessed it, I got more stuff from the Dollar Tree.

Who says that utensil trays can only be used in the kitchen?  I picked up a couple plastic ones from the Dollar Tree and use them to organize my dental hygiene.

The little pink ‘thingamabob’ on the end of my toothpaste is a super cool find from the Dollar Tree too.  You just put it on the end of your toothpaste and turn the little knob to squeeze the toothpaste from the bottom up.  Cool lil thing, it is!!

My husband has a couple of drawers in our bathroom for himself,

and I did a little reorganizing on his side, with more Dollar Tree bins.

Following are photo’s with links from past posts that I’ve written up.  ALL with Dollar Tree bins and baskets, trays and such.
