Getting Organized - my medicine cabinet/linen closet

My medicine cabinet has been anything but organized. I recently gave it an overhaul but it was quite ridiculous how quickly it became chaotic again. So, I set out to fix that. I picked up some bins at the dollar store and Fred Meyer and divided things up into categories. After that it was just a matter of tossing things into the bins. I labeled each bin and the labels will do for now (I have atrocious hand writing) until I can find a cheap label maker.

Here is a lovely before shot

This is the shelf I started to organize......


                             

So much better!

 

This is what took most of the time...figuring what was going to go where.  I did end up "purging" a lot of things that I didn't need or use.

I love how clean this shelf looks!
