There is nothing more satisfying than flexing those creative muscles – and really stretching your dollar. When I started with this horribly drab and outdated bathroom, there were two things I knew of off the bat: I didn’t have much money to do this. I needed to refresh this bathroom on a dime! This bathroom isn’t for me – it’s my fiancé, Brian’s, bathroom, so I wanted to go for a style that was more masculine and streamlined that my typical colorful boho look. I set a goal for myself; I would refresh this bathroom for under $200. I announced it to Instagram, and like that, I had set a goal that I was being held to! This challenge was exciting and made me think even more creatively and dig deeper into my thrifty resources to transform this bathroom. Typically, I don’t reveal how much I spend until after I show everyone the space, but I am seriously impressed with how much I stretched my tiny budget and how great the impact is – so I’m going to brag first!

Dollar Store Organization Hacks
I think my love of dollar stores started when I was a little girl. My nana would take me to the one near her house and I could pick out anything I wanted..and I would always get a doll. One dollar Barbie dolls were kinda my addiction at that age! Decades later and things haven’t changed..I still love the dollar store. I am not going to sit here and pretend that you’re going to get top quality things. Personally I would rather have thrifted items or vintage pieces, but when it comes to organization, nothing beats the dollar store. I recently collaborated with the Dollar Tree (this post IS NOT related or sponsored, just relevant) to revamp my pantry for Spring cleaning, and it was actually very fun! How I let my pantry get so unkept or why I didn’t think of the dollar store for my organizing needs is beyond me..but now it’s going to be my go-to spot! Let me show you my FAVORITE dollar store organization hacks! Pantry Makeover Plastic bins (spray paint them in ANY color to match your decor!) Mason jars (think of storing small things like toothpicks, cupcake liners, rubber bands, etc) Large round bins for bottom of pantry (kid snacks, pet food, household cleaners, etc) Labels (they have cute labels for all your stuff!) Contact paper (pack a punch in your pantry with pretty + cleanly lined shelves) spice jars (pour spices from plastic containers, print or make cute labels) Under Kitchen Sink […]
