Organization Archive - Madame Schischi

….

Y´all know how much I love an organized space am I right !! I am sure there are also some of you around who value a label maker and acrylic organizer as much as I do.

So for today´s organization edition I am sharing how I updated our bathroom cabinet. To be honest the bathroom is probably the only room in our house I don´t like. I think it is too dark and there is no space to put something else like a cart to add bath salts, flowers and towels in a decorative way other than that it is fine. It´s roomey and has lots of storage space.

So here is the problem. All the storage space in the world won´t help if you aren´t using it right and this is where I am sharing my process.

Tools I used for bathroom cabinet organization

Drawer Organizer // The acrylic drawer cases are the ones I have been using for about ten years now. You can literally store everything you like in there. From make-up to hair accessories to hygiene products to office supply.

Acrylic Container // I have sorted all of my travel sized bathroom products into these awesome acrylic containers. I divided it into different categories which makes it super easy to find and store away things. There are different sizes available but I went with the pack of 4 cause they fit perfectly into our bathroom cabinet.

Acrylic Tray // I planned on using this in a different way but it ended up in the bathroom with all the other organizational pieces but it fits all of my shower gels, oils and body scrubs perfectly plus it is super easy to clean in case something spills. This is another point why I love acrylic organizer / container. Easy to use and clean.

Medicine Box // To store all of our medication I got this huge box. It hold up all of our medication and also Emilia´s and Chloe´s things. The insert of the box has so many single compartments to organize everything you´ll put in there.

Lazy Susan // How amazing is a turnable organizer for your cabninet. It saves a lot of space and also has so so much storage space for all of your bath items. I organized things by category here. I have one lazy susan for all of my skin care and one in the above cabinet for all of my hair products.

Organize – How to maximize your showcase space with Billy from Ikea…

….

Happy Easter Monday you guys,

(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links-not sponsored)

we had a fun filled Easter weekend – a nice change to our usual days – with Easter Egg Hunt, having Easter brunch and overall some quality family time.

I also always use the time when my husband is home and can look after our daughter to organize a little corner in our home. It makes me happy and keeps me sane and the clutter to a minimum.

This weekend I organized / redecorated our Billy showcase that is in our living room. I use it to store all of our glassware and also my big candles in glass jars.

How to create the most storage space

Use your shelf from top to bottom

I got these small boxes with matching lids from Ikea and I was really sad in the beginning because I wanted to put four in one row and that didn´t work by a few cm but the upper shelf could not been any lower. Fortunately two fit on top of each other which saved me even more space. There isn´t much space left so this really is optimal.

Adjust your shelves so no space will be wasted

I changed the height of some shelves and put them as low as the top of the highest item was. This will add more space. Maybe just a little but it will pay off if you do this for every shelf.

Add extra shelves if you have the space

Another thing I did to maximize space in my showcase is adding shelves. By the space I saved I was able to add two shelves into my showcase and this really helped to store a lot more than I could before. Thankfully the billy showcase is always available at Ikea so it is not hard to get extra shelves. Maybe a thing to consider before buying a new piece of furniture.

Decorate with the things you are organizing

I took all of the beautiful glassware I own out of my kitchen cabinet and added it to my showcase. I own a ton of pretty glasses and finally wanted to “decorate” my showcase with them. The colors are all complementing each other and look great. Now that I can see what I actually have I am sure I am not going to forget the beautiful pieces so often.

Before After

I personally love a neat and organized home and I am happily sharing my tips and tricks with you guys. With the pandemic still going strong I almost organized the whole house so more content regading this theme is to come.
