Pin or Pass: Vanity Organizing Pinterest Style

A while back I did a post on organizing my linen closet and it's gotten a number of repins on Pinterest so I decided to do a second post on the topic organizing since it seems popular! Here goes...I don't have a master bathroom so my space to get ready each day is limited. I bought this small vanity that I keep in my office so I can get ready without someone climbing over me to get in the bathroom! The problem is it is always messy so I decided to organize it a bit. Here's what I started with:

Here's my inspiration for cleaning up this mess!

I know it doesn't seem like a lot but I took a few of the things I did in previous organizing posts and used them here as well. First, I bought a craft organizing box from the Dollar Tree to clean up my bobbie pins, q-tips, etc. Like in previous posts, I used bins to organize stuff in my drawers, then used this smaller storage for further organize the bins themselves.

Then I added a Command hook to the side of my vanity to hang my blow dryer up. It was annoying being on the floor all the time. You see Command hooks used a lot in various ways on Pinterest.

Last, I got a glass jar from the Dollar Tree and filled it with flat decorative marbles I had laying around my house. I didn't quite as fancy as the original poster did with decorating her jar. I just didn't have the time and needed it function rather than look fancy! Maybe I'll spruce it up one day.

Here's my end result...a cleaned up, organized vanity!

Overall I spent $2 on this project!!! Which is totally great, so this gets a PIN. I hope you enjoyed my ideas for vanity organization and it gave you some ideas to get your own vanity or makeup area in order!
