Organizing the Bathroom With Food Containers

See-through plastic bag for hair accessories

Two weeks ago, I came across an online article offering organizing tips.  In it, I read that glass jars can be reused.  That immediately sparked my imagination.  I had been using the above see-through plastic bag to house my hair accessories.  It was fine, but I wanted something less bulky but with some solid body to it.  

Washing to repurpose coffee containers

I remembered that we had some empty coffee plastic jars.  We had washed a few out to use within our home.  My hubby likes them for his endless supply of screws and nails.

I decided to take my idea a little further.  I had some empty cleaned-out peanut butter plastic jars.

 I threw in some small balls of yarn.  I thought it looked decorative.  I've been watching a few episodes of the Nate Berkus show.  With his decorating expertise, he recommends using personal touches.  Since I crochet, I don't mind letting people know about love of yarn.

Having the disposable shavers in this white tray was not working for me.  I decided to use one of the former peanut butter jars for them.  It worked!

That freed up the white tray so I could use it (below) for toothpaste and other tooth-related toiletries.

Often, we feel overwhelmed with all the things we own.  If we must keep a lot of items, we can organize them.  I have shown here that plastic jars can be reused to house our toiletries.  To organize the bathroom, we can keep the food containers and wash them up.  If the labels prove hard to remove, we can always employ a little bit of peanut butter and scrubbing.

How about it, my readers?  Have you organized anything in your bathroom lately?  Would you consider using plastic food jars?  Right now is the perfect opportunity to do your fall cleaning.  I hope you would find time to change things up for the fall season. 

May God bless you all with His wisdom and peace.
