I adore vintage pyrex.  It's beautifully colorful & vibrant and it reminds me of a darling 1950s style.  I have been collecting for a few years and I am always adding more pieces from my thrifting ventures and  every now & then my collection seems a little out of hand.   A little reorganizing really helps make the collection more of a pretty little display piece for the kitchen.




This is not my entire collection, but it is the best of what I could fit on the shelf space that I have at the moment!  I am on the hunt for a new way to redo the kitchen to fit a bigger shelf and I am also trying to pare the collecting down just a but and focus more on the sizes and styles I like most.

A few years ago, I bought one of these stand up wrapping paper containers at a yard sale thinking it would make me organized.   In reality, it was just a big awkward catchall for me to throw any and all gift related junk into and it took up valuable closet floor space.   I genuinely love the holidays and making pretty birthday packages and I dream of one day being able to have a gift wrapping station just like Martha Stewart, but that just isn't very practical for now.   For now, I will settle for this handy giftwrap redo.





My solution was picking up a swing arm pant hanger (like this) from Target.  It gave me plenty of room to store all of my ribbon & also have a few layers for all my gift bags.

I am pretty excited that I now have extra floor space in my closet and my wrap, ribbon, and gift bags are all perfectly organized.  Never again will I scramble to make the perfectly wrapped gift!

I am starting with my nail polish.  I have a lot of nail polish...like more than any person could need in their entire lifetime, but I have come to peace with this obsession.  What I have not come to peace with is the way the nail polish is all over my home and how I probably have 3 of the same color because I can never find it when I need it.


I am embarrassed to say how much thought and research went into this decision, but the system I have decided on is a simple under the bed storage bin that I already had (which just so happens to fit perfectly under my couch in the living room - where I do my nails).  I picked up about 12 clear drawer organizers in a few sizes (I got mine at Fred Meyer, but you can find different styles almost anywhere).  These fit perfectly and allow the nail polish to stay in place when I move the tub and it also allowed me to easily organize by color and have a special place for the konad, stripers, files, and other miscellaneous supplies.
