Bathroom Drawer: Re-Do!

As you can see, my drawer needed some re-organization! This is one of those places that seems to get organized and then fall back into disorder and repeat multiple times! So, this time I tried to think through how to make it more useful and help keep it neat, plus have it look pretty too!

What started my thinking was an idea in the most recent Better Homes & Gardens. They suggested using lace tacked around the inside of the drawer to hold certain items upright and in place. It was so pretty - I pulled out the supplies.

This lace was made by my Memee's mother! In between, I used simple thumbtacks and then hot glued buttons on to make them look prettier!

I grouped a bunch of small seldom-used items into a canning jar at the back.

I hung a ribbon at the front to clip hair barettes and clips onto.

Then, for my makeup - I remembered this old silver butter dish that I got a few months ago at a thrift store. It was black, but I polished it and it is such a pretty addition to my drawer!

You may have noticed that I changed my Scripture verse at the left to Deuteronomy 6:5-9. I've had this passage on my mind a lot lately and am making an effort of incorporating Scripture more into our daily lives. So, I wrote out two verses on a card and attached them to the top of the butter dish with a ribbon. This morning, I took the lid off and read it while I was getting ready for the day...I love these words.

"Do not let your adorning be external - the braiding of hair, the wearing of gold, or the putting on of clothing - but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's sight is very precious." 1 Peter 3:3-4, ESV

Here is the finished product (note: I did move some things out of the drawer that were not being used very frequently so as to tidy up the inside even more) :

Best of all - I stuck to my spend-nothing to fix it up challenge! Amount spent: zero!
