If I’m being honest, I need some help in the organization area. But if I'm being COMPLETELY honest, organization and I go together like Grace Kelly and Marilyn Manson...eek. Anyone who knows me knows this. My tornado zone bedroom (as it is frequently referred to by my mother) is a great example, as is pretty much everything in my life; my purse, my closets and my iTunes library. As much as I am able to find things in these messes, I would prefer to not have to dig through clothes and an assortment of other objects every time I need something. Here’s to cleaning it all up.
Part of me (the lazy part) thinks that I should hold off on blogging about organization because I will be moving into a new apartment in less than three weeks… the other part is sick of wading through mounds of unidentifiable objects… and would like to be reminded of what color the carpet in my bedroom is.
The things I have the hardest time organizing are accessories. A girl can only have so many earrings, bracelets and belts, scarves, rings and shoes. Let’s just say, my bedazzled, multi-colored, five-inch cup overfloweth.
I’ve tried under-the-bed organizers and over-the-door holders, boxes with compartments and individual bags. Here is what I have finally come up with. I used to have all my bracelets thrown together in one box, but that caused tangles worse than Rapunzel. This is what they look like now:
I came up with the idea to use empty bottles of my favorite soda. I'm a big Izze fan, and the other bottles are Wild Bill's Wild Ginger; it's a spicy ginger ale, the kind that makes your eyes water and gives you a kick in the pants. Delicious.
Next I would love to organize my shoes, but let's face it, there's too many of them. I need them to be easily accessible in a way that does not frighten people when they walk into my room, because right now, they look like this:
That's only half of them.
I can't believe I just put that picture on here... at least now you know I'm not kidding...
Happy organizing!
