Living in an older home poses some difficulties such as lack of insulation or creaking floors. In my house the biggest issue is lack of storage. And by lack I mean ZERO storage.
When I look for furniture I always make note of potential storage capabilities so when my dad was building my vanity adding side shelves for storage was a must.
Since moving in the shelves have housed hot rollers, make up bags, and nail polish – not so easy on the eyes.
Over the weekend I found some khaki bins at Target for $5 each and figured they would be perfect size for the bathroom shelves.
No one needs to see everything so these little babies help contain randoms while looking a tad more put together than my hot rollers ever could.
Lets be honest, khaki isn't really my color… I am currently thinking through all sorts of possibilities to give them a little pop. Paint? Stencil? Fabric? I guess we shall see.
Next on the storage list we have those little odds and ends that hang around on the countertops.
Q-tips, toothbrush, tooth paste, and make up brushes – all have a place of their own now.
The teal, navy, and silver metallic really make my heart go pitter patter. You know because bathroom storage can do that to you.
I have the same problem. Every time I do something in the house I think about how I can make it so that it adds storage. I love the jars for the bathroom! I just pinned them :)
ReplyDeleteI think the dresser as an entertainment stand has been my best bet thus far! Gotta get creative to find places to put things away :) thanks for the pin!
DeleteTwo challenges in one! Great job! I am loving the mason jar holders. Trying to figure out where I can do this. The kitchen maybe? Where'd you find the teal jars?
ReplyDeleteI got them from a lady via craigslist! I loved the teal with the navy wall color as a backdrop!
DeleteLook at you submitting two projects to the Pinterest Challenge! I love what you did here. Don't we all have problems with storage? Seems like there's never enough. Thanks for linking up to the party again! Bonus points!
