Whether you consider yourself a messy person or a pretty organized person, sometimes we all need a little refresh in the little areas in our lives like our bathrooms, kitchens, closet, etc! Personally, it stresses me out when things get messy and disorganized, so it helps to start fresh.
A lot of times, this means getting rid of stuff that you haven’t used in a while. (It’s okay, you will be okay…you can throw it away!! You can also give to Goodwill!) It could be clothing items that need to be given away, or it could be old make up that you thought you would use but haven’t touched in months. Other times, you need to take everything out of a scattered drawer and put it into categories to see what you actually have before you buy more.
Below I am sharing some of my tips and organizational pieces to help you in different parts of your house.
Bathroom Storage
This pullout drawer system on the left is so helpful for bathroom cabinets. I keep hair accessories in the bottom (I have added tiny organizers inside the drawer to separate hair ties from clips) and taller items, like face wash, hair spray, and dry shampoo, on the top. Both drawers easily pull out, so you can grab what you need! These two drawers are stackable, so you can use them how I have shown or keep them separated/side by side.
The picture on the right shows one of the drawers in my bathroom. I use acrylic organizers to separate things like make up, nail polish, moisturizers, brushes and more. This allows me to see what I have and stay organized. (Secret tip: if you have any candles that are burnt out, you can stick them in the freezer and after the wax is frozen, cut it out and stick it in the dishwasher. After it’s all clean, you have a pretty jar to hold things like q-tips, cotton balls, or even use as a cocktail glass!)

Kitchen Organization
Personally, my kitchen drawers are so large that things would easily get shuffled around and mix-matched. Having these dividers/organizers inside of the drawer help so much with keeping everything in it’s proper place as well as making it easy to see. (Ideally, I would love each container to match, but if you are trying to save money, try to use what you may already have on hand). If you’re looking to grab some new ones, I have linked some below.
The drawer on the right is where we keep pot holders and dish towels. Nothing super crazy here, I just try to keep these as neat as possible by putting these items back in the proper place after use.

Underneath my cabinets, I use dividers to separate pots, pans, pyrex dishes, sheet pans, cutting boards and more! These dividers are so helpful with saving space and easily grabbing what you need while cooking!
Highly recommend!

Storage Closet
We have a small storage closet downstairs next to our kitchen that became very junky and needed a refresh. I grabbed this cube shelf organizer (which is also in Ansley’s closet turned on it’s side with pink cubes). It is SO helpful for storing things that we need to grab on a regular basis or things that didn’t have a home.
We keep things like medicine, light bulbs, dog treats, cleaning supplies, bottles, breast milk supplies and more in the cubes! Each bin is a different category. This makes it easy to grab but keeps things hidden at the same time. You can also use cubes in every slot to keep everything hidden as well!

Sometimes it can feel overwhelming when it comes to organizing. I recommend starting with one space in your house that you use on a regular basis. Ask yourself if you still use certain products, if it brings you joy, and then separate your items into categories. Once you have decluttered, you can then use containers and even labels to help you stay organized. One helpful tip: put things back where they go after each use, and you will save yourself a headache in the long run ;).
Hopefully seeing these few areas in my house has helped you find new ways to organize or even just motivate you to organize areas in your own home!
