I love having a place for everything and everything in it's place. But lets face it, that place might be jumbled up in a drawer with 20 other things. Every time I opened my bathroom closet it just looks incomplete. I have these Sterilite drawers that I think most people have SOMEWHERE in their house. I think most people get them so they can see what's in there, that's why they bought the clear ones and not the neon green ones. But, I like classic white, not college dorm pink. It bothered me how you could see everything in there. Lets face it...it's a bathroom...no one needs to see the fact that you took advantage of the sale on tampons at Sam's Club.
Maybe I am just a creeper but, when I go to people's houses for a party and I have had my cocktails and I need to pee, I am gonna go through your bathroom. I will open the closet door and see what goods ya got. Possibly thieve a tampon from you (only if need be....or because you use some brand I have never tried). I don't dig through everything and pull it out and use your loofah or anything; just peek. So here is the solution for people like you to stop people like.....me.
I went to Staples and bought 2 packs of decorative file folders. Each pack was $4.99. The pack included 2 of each print. I only needed one pack in the end but I wanted to be sure that I had enough. In fact, I only used 1 folder of each print. That included the set of large drawers, 2 sets of medium and 1 of the small. You can buy just one folder for .99 and I looked at Wal-mart and they had packs of them as well in stripe patteren. The key is for it to be thicker than the normal manilla folder.
Unfold the folder and cut in half. I cut mine at the very first line at the bottom of the folder.
On the big drawers all you have to do is cut the height. I held the half of the folder next to the drawer and marked a line. I took it to my cutter-thingofamajig and cut it to size.
*For smaller drawers simply cut the height and the width to size.
If you are using the Sterilite brand you need no glue, no tape, nothing! It will stay in place because of the indention in the drawer. You are basically done other than sliding the decorative folder into place.
That is all it takes! You are done and people can't get all up in your bathroom business. Well, not at a glance anyway. Here are some before and after pictures just so you can see the difference. You'll be amazed at how different you feel with PRETTY and not to mention CHIC looking plastic ware in your closet. Looks like a million bucks and it cost you under 5 dollars!
I labeled the drawers mostly for my husband or overnight guest that might need to find something. I, of course, know what's in all the drawers..most of the time.
Thanks so much for reading and I will be posting video directions on my YouTube channel as well. As for now, put those kids to bed and have a cocktail. Mommy needs a time out.
