Dressing up!

As any student, I know just how small these rooms can get! While I am not in a dorm and am in my own apartment, I do still have limited space to work with! My dresser back at home is huge, so what choice does a girl have other than to shop for a new one?! My momma and I went to Ikea to purchase my dresser, which I will show you soon! I wanted to be able to customize my dresser, so I just bought this simple unfinished one:
My momma decided to buy one too! Hers is still in the process of being made, but once she finishes, next time I go home, I'll be sure to snag a picture! I repainted our bathroom two summers ago a beautiful coral and had some leftover paint that I had re-shaken. Unfortunately I didn't get to take pictures of my process, but I will show you the end result! I used painters tape to design the drawers and printed out my initials in a monograph font for the top! The bottom of the dresser is a collection of black & white scrapbook paper (I used modpodge to cover those)! 
Here is it:

Project Saturday

Hi all!
So for my first project Saturday, I decided to organize my nail polish! I just moved into my new place and I am so ready to organize! Step by step, I am going to start with little projects to make this my comfortable organized home as an on the go college girl!

This is what it looked like before...


Steps

1. I went through all of my polish and put them into 3 categories - high end, drug store, and designs.

2. Once I sorted it all, I got rid of a few colors that I no longer wanted! Once I was done, I picked my boxes, which I reused from products purchased at Target! 

3. Once I had the boxes, I sorted all the polish by color!

Here's the end result! I put them on my shelf !
