ReplyDeleteWhat great tips! I'm taking notes.
ReplyDeleteI love the corkboard idea for jewelry and have used a magnet for straight pins. My drawers are the least of my problems...thank God I can close the drawer and forget about the mess inside.
ReplyDeleteI've been whacking my brains looking at my disorganized necklaces and ear rings; will give the corkboard a try. And I'll make use of all these nail polish in my dresser too.
