My makeup drawer is a wreck, but since it's also a space that I use
daily, I've been looking for the perfect solution for keeping all
my lip glosses, brushes, and little makeup items in check. After
browsing through Centsational Girl's site, I've been inspired to
give my unruly drawer a makeover of its own. She suggests a simple
solution for organizing your vanity: kitchen utensil dividers. Now,
why didn't I think of that? I'm definitely picking up an Expandable
Bamboo Cutlery Tray ($30) next time I'm browsing the aisles of Bed
Bath & Beyond .

like me, you don't have a craft closet or space in your pad perfect
for the simple storage solution, this is also a great idea for a
work area in a garage or near a tool bench.

oven mitt drawer that happens to be full of junk. As you can see in
the photo above, the mitt dominates the drawer -- and it doesn't
even belong there! Luckily, Heather was willing to reveal her junk
drawer to the world in all its glory, so that we could organize it
together and show you our process. I've organized many drawers on
my own, but working on Heather's made me realize h...
