Beautiful Home Organizing Challenge: How to Organize Your Bathroom
If you live in an older home like us, you are probably very limited on bathroom storage. A good way to combat the lack of space is by utilizing what you do have! The key is organization and making sure each item has a home and thinking of strategic ways to hide unsightly items. By using baskets under your vanity for towels, incorporating some open shelving, and maximizing vanity space, you can really make your bathrooms both functional and beautiful without having a ton of large storage spaces!
Beautiful Home Organizing Challenge: How To Organize Your Fridge
Fridge organization- check! Another space done on our organizing challenge!
As usual, I broke this process up into a few different steps. Step one-cleaning and purging. This definitely was the longest part of this particular organizing challenge because my fridge needed it badly. I had a ton of expired food that was taking up space as well as lots of crumbs, dried spills, and crustiness throughout. Really the only things I used were Mr. Clean spray cleaner (you can sub in any spray cleaner for this though), Dawn, a MAGIC ERASER, and a vacuum. It definitely helped to remove EVERYTHING from the fridge for me so I could really clean all the nooks and crannies. This also allowed me to scrub shelves and drawers in the sink.
Beautiful Home Organizing Challenge: Linen Closet
Our next finished space for the Beautiful Home Organizing Challenge is the Linen Closet. I decided to go for a printed wallpaper to add a little pop of color and pattern to an otherwise blah space. You can see all the closets that inspired me, and read about the purging and organizing process here. Applying the wallpaper only took me about an hour, but made a HUGE impact. I’m so happy with how it turned out and all the items I added to help keep it organized. I added so much space by just transferring a few items to the door and adding those shelf dividers. All of these products were purchased from Amazon, so this is a perfect project that is relatively easy to accomplish and makes your home function SO much better. Check out the end results and shop all the pieces I used below!

My Top 5 Posts of 2018
