DIY Organization Project

I'm the kind of person that throws items into a drawer until it accumulates into a Bermuda triangle and nothing can be found ever again. 
I'm constantly forgetting where I put things, and end up forgetting about them or buying it again and wasting money. After checking out Pinterest, I was inspired to become more organized. 

Pinterest has tons of wonderful pins regarding organizing on a budget. Some of my favorite ideas had a lot of items that can be purchased from The Dollar Tree! Of course, after pinning a million pins, I decided to run to my local Dollar Tree and see what they had to offer.
I was so impressed! I picked up a basket (should have grabbed a cart) and started looking around. First off, I was drawn to all the new Valentine's Day and St. Patrick's Day items that had on display. I took my time wandering in each aisle, making sure I wasn't missing anything! 

I guess I am glad I didn't grab a cart because I definitely would have bought a LOT more stuff. 


All the goodies from the Dollar Tree.



This is the pin I kept in mind while shopping - I love the tiered tray! It's perfect for miscellaneous jewelry, and trinkets!
So I bought the glass candle holders and silver serving plates to make it look a little bit more fancy.



Instead of leaving the top tray empty, I put a different candle holder on the top. I can't decide which candle holder to use on the top! I plan on putting pretty flowers in the candle holders at the top. I think an LED candle would look cute in the holder as well. I like the way they both look! Which one do you think looks better?! The vintage inspired candle holder or the mercury glass candle holder? 
Once I finally decide on which one to use, I will hot glue them in place.

I picked up a few other candle holders as well because I know I will use them all around the house for decor & storage! 


I love both of these candle holders for bathroom storage! I'm certainly going back for more of these!!
