HOW TO DISPLAY AND STORE MAKE-UP BRUSHES

Here is my current makeup/toiletries drawer:

Chaotic right?

For some time now, I have been using one of those plastic sliding drawer organizers above my toiletries to help efficiency but it has just become messy.  There must be a better and prettier way to display makeup brushes?  My next goal is to organize the toiletries with pretty wood drawer dividers?  That's what I'm thinking...

This photo was on pinterest and I thought, hey I could try something like this!


Instead of the coffee beans, I wanted something a little more girly and sparkly!  I bought a simple glass container ($1.00 from the dollar store, ha!) and then filled it with pretty clear beads from Joanne Fabrics.  Inserted the brushes, and I'm done.


Lookin' good right?

My idea eventually is to find a pretty tray where I can place all of my makeup inside and contained, like this photo:


This tray is from West Elm and is no longer available.  So, I am in the market for another tray.

Happy Organizing!

    your tray idea...they have those little unpainted serving trays that are slim at any craft store or walmart. You could then paint it what color you want and put down scrap book paper. Just a thought.

      That's a great idea! I actually ended up purchasing a small wooden tray from Bed Bath and Beyond for cheap and I wrote about it here (http://attheparks.blogspot.com/2011/10/make-up-storage-update.html). But I like the idea of the scrap book paper...it would be easy to change out the paper seasonally or just whenever. Thanks for your comment!

DRESSER TURNED TV STAND MAKEOVER

Tonight, I am so excited to share with you what hubby has been working on for the last few months in his spare time.  Let me preface by saying that we've had our TV hanging on the wall above our fire place since we purchased it about a year ago.  And though I liked it there and it fit well, it wasn't exactly what I had in mind.  You see, while the TV is on and you're sitting on the sofa curled up in a warm blanket drinking hot tea, you can't have the gas fireplace running.  Not only do I use the TV for viewing movies and television shows, but I listen to a lot of music through it.  I love our fireplace but would love it more if I could use it!  So to solve that problem I was on a mission to find a nice TV stand. After searching online and finding a lot of great furniture options, I realized I didn't really want to spend any money.  We had a dresser gifted to my husband years ago that we were planning on selling or donating but I really wanted to find a new u

DIY HOMEMADE MOD PODGE

We all know how expensive Mod Podge is at the craft store, right?  And since there are so many projects which use it, I thought I could find a homemade version  online .  Love  pinterest !  This is seriously the easiest DIY project I have ever done. Supplies: A Jar (I rescued an empty Tostitos Creamy Spinach Dip Jar YUMMM which was on its way out to be recycled) Elmer's White Glue (I used two 4 fl oz bottles) Water Before I made the Mod Podge, I washed out the jar and spray painted the lid silver.  I also took off the label from the jar and did my best to get rid of all of the adhesive (first tried a paper towel and rubbing alcohol, but it didn't work and then I tried olive oil and it worked like a charm). Instructions: Empty glue into jar Fill the empty glue bottle with water and pour into the new jar with the glue  (Ideally, you want 50% glue and 50% water) Shake, Shake, SHAKE the jar That's it!  You have made homemade mod pod

TWO YEARS | remembering our miscarriage

We all have that day. The day when our world changed forever. For us, it was the day we lost our little one. I don't cry much anymore, but I remember. The pain isn't raw as it once was, but I will never forget. I remember the day I found out I was pregnant. The day I told my husband he was a daddy to be. I remember the dreams we had for this baby. Our hopes. Our plans. Our future. I remember our normally un-snuggly dog coming up to me and nuzzling her head under my arm pit, resting her head on my belly as if she knew there was a little life growing inside of me. I remember the prayers. So many prayers. We prayed every night for this baby of ours. For their future. For their health. For their life. The unbelievable love. The warmth of the sun and the smell in the air. I remember the darkness descending. The blood. The emergency room. The tests. The feelings of fear. The spoken words. The reality dawning. The unimaginable pain. The surgery. The pain isn't
