DIY: Repurpose Your Vases for Organization


I want so bad to be that organized person that puts everything back in the same place, and for everything actually to have a place.  I always know where an item may be, however its usually in 1 of 4+ places. For instance this past weekend, I literally had 6 bags for Roswelle and I, and there was no method to the madness.  Diapers were in 3 different bags, my jewelry bag was in Roswelle's diaper bag, the pack'nplay crib sheets were in the bag with the speaker, the "in case of emergency" thermometer was lost in the bottom of my purse?...it's all there, it's just a disaster. My mother-in-law was in the back of our car this weekend and exclaimed "oh Lauren here is an earring!" ... so typical of me!

SO, in an effort to be the person I want to be, I plan to organize small spaces, starting with my bathroom cabinet. I can't believe I'm sharing photos of underneath our bathroom sink!! Anyways, I love reusing candle vases and flower vases and I thought underneath my cabinet would be a good place for them.  They come in all shapes and sizes, as do my toiletries.  

It only took about 20/25 minutes to clean everything out and put it all back together in a prettier, more organized fashion.  Roswelle actually had a lot of fun helping me! She loves taking things out and putting them back in, over and over. I doubt my cabinet will stay like this for more than 48hrs, but here's to hoping! My purse will just forever be a lost cause...
