My Drawer Solution… and a Bunny Replaces a Birdie!

Last week on a reversed Works for Me Wednesday, I posted my make-up drawer dilemma on how to organize my makeup drawer and I received some wonderful feedback and ideas:

Small baskets - I love this because I could take the baskets out to use them.

Fabric sock organizer - I have only seen these in pictures but that could be a very easy custom piece.

Thin pieces of wood made into a grid pattern - I really think this would look nice and clean.

So as these ideas were resting nicely in my head, I made a quick stop at my Dollar Store to pick up some of those cute little birdies that people have been painting - and with my luck they didn’t have them!!

But thankfully I SCORED on two other good finds:

On the left is a set of 3 gift boxes and a chocolate brown ceramic bunny.

I used all 9 parts of the boxes to organize not only my makeup but 2 extras for bobby pins and hair ties. (No, I’m not going to prom - I guess I just bought the bobby pins in bulk!)

I also used another small vase I had to hold more small, thin items and brushes.

Since I have installed my dollar boxes, it has been so much easier to find things and now my vanity is under control…

And since I couldn’t find the birdies - my little bunny was given a fresh coat and a new ribbon. 

Now, what didn’t work for me a week ago, works beautifully! (Until I find one of the better ideas I was given!)
