From Lizeth: One Saturday I decided to makeover our medicine cabinet. There was an accumulation of items we don’t use on a daily basis in the cabinet plus I was keeping some items I used a lot under the sink; hence the need for some purging and reorganizing.

I looked on Pinterest (of course) for some inspiration. First I took everything out and cleaned the inside of the cabinet to add some contact paper. I ordered this black chalkboard contact paper; it was really easy to measure and cut the paper. First I was only going to do the inside but then I decided to paste some on the inside of the cabinet door also.

I used jars I already had to decanter small items or anything that didn’t have a container. The little basket is for the small items (nail clippers, tweezers, etc.). I put all my daily makeup in my makeup bag and all other makeup items in another bag under the sink. All medicine I moved to a drawer unit I have under the sink.

It was such a simple and powerful change. I wish I would have done it sooner.
