DIY Space Saving Makeup Storage

In our new house in Bristol we have ZERO storage in the Master Bathroom. Seriously, who would totally remodel a master bath with no storage? The sink is just a pedestal sink so no hope for storage there. Very quickly once we moved in I bought this storage cabinet that goes over the toilet that holds all of mine and Alan's stuff, well mostly mine of course! But there was no where good to put my make-up so I could see it all. So I went searching on Pinterest and came across this idea from some other people.

Just head to your local home improvement store and pick up a piece of metal. I was lucky enough to find this size already cut and ready, there are other sizes available too. Then I used some foam tape on the back and adhere it to the cabinet and let it set a couple days before adding all the make-up.

Then I used hot glue to attach these tiny magnets, but now after using it awhile Super Glue is the best option for long term use. Depending on the material you are gluing too, it just doesn't hold that well. I ordered these online cheaper than I found in stores.

I added a couple storage containers as well to hold the other make-up goodies that wouldn't work on the metal sheet. I have a small makeup pouch to store all my brushes in as well. I've been using this for a little while now and it works really well for me and the type of makeup I wear.

Happy DIYing!

EDITED: Here is an update on what my Makeup Storage looks like today! I had to go back and redo the magnets on quite a few. Hot Glue did not hold that great, so when I redid them I used E6000 Glue and so far (about a month), none have fallen off again!

Project Life Weekend

When I had time this weekend I was in my craft room working on my 2014 Project Life Book. Yeah yeah, I'm still on 2014 and we're 3 months into 2015. The year 2014 was a big year, so much so that I had to spread my Project Life album over 2 albums. I decided to make one the "Roanoke" album and one for "Bristol". I've already embellished the Roanoke album, just need to journal - which is my least favorite part! Now i'm going through the Bristol album and embellishing AND journaling at the same time to make sure it gets done!

Saturday I had my first Tri-City TN/VA Scrapper Addicts Meetup! I joined the group a couple months ago then the organizer posted that she had moved and needed someone to take over. So I agreed and arrange our first day. Only one girl showed up, but we had a good time and it got me started again on my album. I'm hoping that more turn up at the next one.

Here are the pages I finished.So far only one month done since I couldn't devote the whole weekend to it!

So who wants to join me for my next day of working on this album?

Adeline Play Room Re-do

If you don't know me very well you don't know that I like to rearrange. We've been in the house a little over 6 months and I've redone Adeline's Playroom 3-4 times already (1 was moving from basement to upstairs). But I'm hoping that this most recent redo will be good for awhile as it took most of the day!

Adeline hasn't been spending much time in her playroom, so I start looking at why. A couple of her big "toys" were in the living room and when she did play in the living room she sat on rug or couch. Her playroom just had hardwood floors. Right now I don't have the funds to buy a big enough rug for the space, so thank goodness I still had her foam floor from our Roanoke house basement. So I laid down two sets of the flooring and only needed a few more, which we can do without.

Lately Adeline has been  huge into coloring and painting, so I decided to move her table to the living room to free up some space in her playroom and to keep her from painting/coloring on my dining room table. She loves it! Now she has her own space to do what she wants and it's all out anytime she wants to color!

Here is the final results!

In the afternoons when we get home or even on the weekends I ask Adeline what she is going to do and she always says "PLAY HARD", we start this awhile back and it's our little thing. So I made her a wall decal for the entrance to her play room.

Adeline was very happy with her new playroom set up and coloring station. She came back from a weekend with Nana and PaPaw Weeks to a whole new playroom to explore.
