Whew!
Totally done with part 2! ya'ay!
Now I am ready to present to you the little things I did organize the past days.
So remember that last picture I showed you on the previous article about that small side table we put in our master's restroom? It seriously needed some love.
Now here it is. Nothing too fancy but since my major concern was to put all those itsy bitsy stuffs in that section of the table, some sort of a hiding place was necessary.
I bought these two video boxes for $5 at JoAnn's and this was where I placed the things I didn't wanna see outside.
All in all I think it turned out really nice. Very neat and well arranged.
So then I moved on to our office table, which is also in our master's bedroom. Since the house does not have an extra room where we can consider an office room the bedroom was the only option we have. It's a challenging part since the area isn't too big for everything. We have a dresser, a queen size bed, a side table, and an office table which is really long. Sure space was a big issue but I couldn't really whine over it because the area will never expand. Now, the project was to clean up the cluttered table and create an oasis of space; somewhere we can actually put our laptop and sit nicely on the chair, which by the way never happened for about 4 years now. Our idea of computer use is literally in our laps. Anyway, so much for that here's the before and after photos.
Nevertheless, it boosted a feel of a little space possibility. We were able to get rid of the many unimportant objects cluttering the table. If you look at the corner of that table on the left you'll see an obvious crowd of storage cabinets that shouldn't even be there at all. And because we had a choice to let go of old documents we are zeroing in to a few folders now for our current files. My husband isn't a 100% fan of paperless documentation just yet (I too am not totally but I appreciate electronic filing) but we agreed to just use one bin for all important notes. (This is another huge huge project that I can't wait to start....document filing). The tray is our processing zone so-to-speak and it's a great help working out your daily mails with this kind of segregation.
Basically, these were my major organizing projects for the week and in between are my little favorites I thought would be good idea to keep neat and well arranged. I hope you'll find sense in these. ;-)
I never realized how important it is to give care to your make-up brushes until now. I was once told by a friend that the secret to a great fantabulous make-up is not with the brand of what you use but with your brushes...so better invest in them and get those that are really really good. I am a late bloomer and I didn't wear make-up until I was about 22 and I have always kept my brushes in a ziplock. ugh! Can you just imagine how brutal I was to these loving creatures that kept my eyeshadows gorgeous? I thought they deserve a major major make-over. Voila! I bought this fabric from Walmart in one of their daily clearance racks. I scored a $3/yard cut. Not bad.
So I asked my mom to sew me a little bigger version of a brush holder that I have to give the rest of my brush collection their new home.

I must say my daughter's room is still a work in progress. Recently, I decided to use this shoe rack as her toys' rack.
Practically, the main reason is her easy access of toys plus a good training of being clean all the time after play. So she's not allowed to keep the toys in the floor. She needs to put them back when done playing.
I also changed the old hanging rack to this cute find I saw in Ross.
Just loved how her purses are hung this way.
There it is everyone! I hope you liked my simple projects this week.
I am still in this organizing fever so stay tuned for more!
Inspired by Jen Jone's crate projects I am creating my own version of crate toy box for Jaida. That and many more stuffs to share with you in my new found world...;-)
