I started out cleaning in our bathroom and ended up lining the vanity with wallpaper and organizing the wall cabinet...
I made some labels for these glass bottles which I use to hold witch hazel, alcohol, and nail polish remover. I found the bottles at American Science and Surplus - they have lots of cool stuff [especially useful for you home schooling parents who are teaching science]...
One cabinet led to another...I decided to line my little nature case which sits on my desk in the kitchen...
I went through my old books and found one from 1897 called Natural Elementary Geography. It has some wonderful maps that were just what I was looking for...
I cut some foam core board to fit the back of each section of the cabinet, photo-copied a couple maps, cut them to fit and glued them to the foam board. Then I just popped them into the back of each section of the cabinet - a little tacky glue helped hold them in place...
Much better!
I love your medicine cabinet. Those bottles look great.
ReplyDeleteI love the cabinets.
ReplyDeleteThe nature cabinet is a good idea. I have some flotsam and jetsam from the great outdoors waiting for a home. I must find something nice to display it in.
Wow! Everything looks great! I wish I was that organized!

Deb, you're so artistic, and your projects always look magazine-worthy!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!
But where is all the junk? The half-used tubes of Clearasil, miscellaneous ponytail holders, cottons swabs and bobby pins? Where is the tangled up dental floss and the sticky mouthwash bottle ring? Am I the only one who has these things?
I love the little touches you made. They truly do make a difference. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteOoh, do you have a special label maker that does nice fonts?
ReplyDeletei love the cabinets! so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI love the lining in the little cabinet idea. What a special touch!! Nice bottles too. I need a larger cabinet like that in my bathroom. I have a good sized wall for it too!
ReplyDeleteSuch creative ideas Deb! Everything looks so organized.
ReplyDeleteOooh, love the idea of the maps at the back of the nature cupboard. Looks great!
ReplyDeleteYour display cupboards are lovely & the bottles are gorgeous!

ReplyDeleteI have lots of lab ware at home, I love they way it looks and the way it seals with liquids. Your makeovers look great. I love the map idea. Thank you for sharing such great ideas.
ReplyDeleteWow! I thought for a minute I was in my own house, as I looked at your posting. We have a small, white painted nature cabinet too! And some of those same treasures are nestled in ours! (Charlotte Mason homeschoolers!)
