Purse Rack and Hair Accessories

After a trip to Target yesterday to finalize a few purchases, Ms. Ciara's room is finally clean and in order. I still have some minor repairs around one baseboard section, but other then that it's as clean and organized as it's going to get this go around. Sad thing is, she hasn't been  home for 2 days to see it. So tomorrow, when she gets home, she's going to be one happy camper. It's been one long day, but I wanted to hop on here and show you a few more organization ideas I've used in her room. Tomorrow, I'll work on the big reveal and also show you a few decorating ideas I used in her room.


In the mean time, I'd like to show you her purse rack. We started with an over the door coat hanger, but found that the purses were to bulky to open the door all the way. Now she uses that for coats, as intended.

When I was in Utah last year, we made a trip to Ikea. When walking through the closet section, I seen these retractable tie racks and new immediately they were exactly what I was looking for. They are intended for an interior closet, but she doesn't have a walk in closet, so we mounted them to the wall next to her dresser. They do need to be stacked by size for the best fit, but otherwise it works great and serves it's purpose.

I had mentioned earlier that my daughter asked for something to hang her bows on. After collecting and separating everything she had, I quickly realized hanging them was going to be unrealistic. Instead I used these very cute cubes I purchases on clearance last year at Joannes. I divided everything by type of accessory and 6 of the cubes held everything and fit perfectly into her drawer. I know from personal experience, that putting every hair scrunchy or barrette away, every time you take it off is a bit unrealistic, so I suggested she keep a small box on top of her dresser, toss them in there and then at least once a week, take the time to put them back in the appropriate box. That's what I do in my bedroom.  Remember, the key to organization is having a place for everything.
