Retro Storing

Picture this, you’re in your bedroom with 2 minutes left until you have to leave and you need those chandelier earrings because they’re the only ones that work with your cocktail number. You shake your jewellery box around and you can’t seem to find it in any compartment. Frustrated, you tip out everything onto your bed, find the matching pair, grab your shoes and stumble out. Sound familiar? That’s basically me everyday. If you scour through pininterest, weheartit and instagram, you’ll see that everyone seems to have their own creative way of storing their bits and bobs. I wouldn’t say my organisation methods are very ‘neat’ but I like the clutter because it looks visually interesting on my bureau although highly impractical. I use teacups to store my hairbows, a Pringles Chips cylinder to store my tools and a recycled glass custard cup to store my bobby pins. Some other fun ideas I found included spray painting a grater and using it as an earring hanger and putting magnets on the bottom of makeup palettes so it sticks to a fabric covered magnet board. Fun!! Do you have any special methods on storing your makeup and jewellery?
