Every few months I get a sudden urge and have to reorganize some room in the apartment (followed by a confused boyfriend for a couple of weeks). This time is was the bathroom; since moving in a year and a half ago, I had yet to give a full effort for making the space more efficient. After a good few hours of organizing, cookie break, organizing, internet break, organizing, another cookie break, and organizing I finally have a nice non-cluttered bathroom! Shown here is my make-up drawer:<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i661.photobucket.com/albums/uu334/jaysteingold/organize2.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 439px; height: 439px;" src="http://i661.photobucket.com/albums/uu334/jaysteingold/organize2.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /></div>An easy and cheap way to organize this space is by creating boxes for each section. Using old food boxes or hair product boxes, each type of product can have their own individual space (or however else you choose to organize it). There are two types of boxes you can create: a regular tabbed box like in the top right image or cut a box into sections between 1-3inches high, depending on what will be inside it, and staple them together for more stability like in the bottom left image. You can also tape or glue them but for a quick long lasting method stapling is perfect.Elle Byrdhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02174996473458234671noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5507266707570987713.post-44300648669256028692009-03-26T19:16:00.001-07:002009-03-26T19:19:43.994-07:00Color Inspiration<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i661.photobucket.com/albums/uu334/jaysteingold/color2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 233px; height: 381px;" src="http://i661.photobucket.com/albums/uu334/jaysteingold/color2.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>1. #EEE79F<br />2. #EAD086<br />3. #E6BA73<br />4. #82C38B<br />5. #3F3830</div>Elle Byrdhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02174996473458234671noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5507266707570987713.post-39920372964485130462009-03-26T03:16:00.001-07:002009-08-30T03:48:30.206-07:00Cereal box lights<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i661.photobucket.com/albums/uu334/jaysteingold/box_light1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://i661.photobucket.com/albums/uu334/jaysteingold/box_light1.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>This cute idea came from designer <a href="http://www.ankeweiss.com/">Anke Weiss</a>. I could easily see this project be incorporated into a home. If you want to make it a bit cleaner looking (so you won't be looking at a cereal box during the day..) you could undo the box and flip it so the brown cardboard is facing out or purchase something like <a href="http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/90130196">these boxes</a> from ikea and mount them on a wall.Elle Byrdhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02174996473458234671noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5507266707570987713.post-81773345821553413822009-03-25T17:24:00.000-07:002009-03-26T19:21:04.242-07:00Simply Modern Pattern Set<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://th01.deviantart.com/fs42/300W/i/2009/062/3/a/Simply_Modern_by_lauramae.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 266px;" src="http://th01.deviantart.com/fs42/300W/i/2009/062/3/a/Simply_Modern_by_lauramae.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>My second set of patterns for Photoshop, keeping along the hand drawn look.

Not really a fan of big gaudy jewels, although great at times, I needed something I could wear day to day. That's when I found the <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=20579839">bow ring</a> by Kate McKenzie. Mine was purchased with 3 diamonds and is absolutely perfect (pictured above).<br /><br />All of her pieces are very original and have a cute edge to them.
