Today I am joining Rebecca Jo for her Thankful Thursday as I always do. It is so important for me to remember all that I have to be grateful for!
I am thankful that we are almost to Friday!!! YIPPEE and praise the Lord!! HA!
I am thankful that I was able to have another chill night last night. I worked, ate dinner and did a little more organization around the condo...whoopie!
Let me show you...
I bought a few of these online the other night! They were very reasonable compared to the container store...
And I did this with them!!! I love that I can now see all my lipsticks and lip glosses!!! The Buxom lip-glosses on the left side are too wide to fit in the slots but everything else fit perfectly!!!
I used another one for mascara's and larger brushes...
Here is what the shelf in my bathroom looks like now...so organized!!!! Yay!!!!
I had shelving space in one of my dressers and was not sure what to use it for. I bought two baskets that fit perfectly onto the shelves and I found a purpose for them last night. The top basket hold swimsuits and coverups and the bottom basket holds all my scarves (sorry the picture is a little dark)...
There is the one with scarves pulled out...I folded them so that I can see every one!!!!
I bought this awesome dresser last year and put it in my guest bedroom. Last night I decided to swap dressers so I put a plain five drawer white one in my guest bedroom and moved this one to my bedroom.
It is designed to hold jewelry which I love and it was a little weird having all my jewelry in the guest bedroom. So, after I swapped them out (the hardwood floors make moving furniture so easy now) I got to fill it up with my STUFF! Here is the dresser...
The small drawers on the right hold my bracelets, rings and miscellaneous jewelry...
The door on the left has two shelves...sweatpants are rolled up on the top shelf and the middle section pops out and has all of my "good" bracelets and there is the mirror on the back side of the door...
On the far left side of the piece is a hidden door...it has all of my good necklaces...
I feel even more organized now and I am so happy that I bought this piece of furniture last year! I like it so much better where i have it now and I can get so much more use out of it!
I don't know why but I have a thing for white furniture! I think every piece I have purchased has been white! HA! It feels so clean to me!
I am thankful that for years I have been gifted with hand me downs from my family. I still have my sisters TV stand, my parents old bed, my other sister's coffee table and dinner table and my brother's old microwave! I am so grateful for the things my family have given me - it has allowed me to be back on my feet without spending a ton of money. Slowly, but surely, I am purchasing new things but I want to hang on to their things as long as they function! It feels like they are here with me in my home everyday!
I hope everyone has a great Thursday!!!!
Anyone else cherish their hand me downs? What are your decor preferences? Do you have favorite pieces or stories when or why you purchased? Have you jumped on the organization bandwagon yet?
