Godmorgon Makeup Organizer

Loving the this little box from Ikea.  So perfect for organizing a makeup drawer. It compartmentalizes and gives a home to mascara, lipstick, nailpolish, etc. so they’re accessible and easy to find. Here it is in action:

a graphic statement with storage boxes

Stylist Rebecca Omweg took plain, inexpensive cardboard bankers boxes and created not just a great storage solution for her space, but also a graphic statement.  I love that the uniformity creates a clean and streamlined look. The boxes are placed atop wall mounted shelves and labeled with stenciled numbers. A master list details what’s inside each one so things are accessible and easy to find.

Had the pleasure of stopping by the lovely shop Sugar Paper in Brentwood late last week after visiting the House of Windsor with my pal Irene, and spotted these pretty little lists made of 100% recycled paper. Perfect for staying stylishly organized:

Stylish Binders

I use 3-ring binders for storing and organizing everything from project files and business receipts, to magazine tearsheets and recipies. I currently have basic white inexpensive ones in a variety of sizes, which I keep lined up in an office cabinet. For binders I use frequently, I’m thinking it’d be nice to upgrade to something that’s stylish enough to leave out on an open shelf for easy access. Russell + hazel binders in a fun color {as seen below} would do nicely.

Accessories Organizer

Loving this little organizer for its versatility. You can hang not just necklaces (tangle-free yay!), but also earrings, scarves, sunglasses, handbags (there’s a hook on each side), etc. Plus the shelf on top offers a place to keep other items like perfume, a pretty box, picture frames etc.

uten.silo organizer

Have seen the iconic uten.silo organizer (first created in 1969!) in various spaces and always think it looks cool and practical. All the little pockets are so great for organizing and making easily accessible all the small items that might not otherwise have a home.

It’s a bit pricey though. I wonder how difficult it’d be to create an inspired DIY version…hmmm…

Shoe Ottoman

Ottomans are so great because they often serve double (or triple) duty. I love that this one is secretly outfitted with 16 pockets for storing shoes (or other things!) and is lined with a pretty fabric that adds such a fun unexpected punch of color.

Beautifully Organized Space of the Week

This week’s beautifully organized space is from the home of graphic artist Eva of Eva Juliet. She took a Alex storage drawer unit from Ikea and customized it with numbered knobs on each drawer for easier organization.

So beautifully simple and uncluttered :)

P.S. Loving that Passe A L’Action print in the photo? It’s from her Etsy shop. Check it out and her other lovely items here.

Portable Storage Baskets

A tote basket is a beautiful solution for containing and conveniently transporting files and/or project supplies from room-to-room.

I’m loving these hand-woven fair trade imports from Tango Zulu:

P.S. You can also use ‘em as market totes, magazine holders, picnic baskets…there’s a multitude of uses!
