Mini Project: Bedside Table Drawer Organization

[@gokellie]

I went to the container store recently to re-do basically all of my bathroom cabinets/drawers. I also got a flip fold folding board & re-did all of my husbands bedroom drawers! They look sooooooo nice! I'll do mine next. Thanks for motivating me!!!

[@malabooluvu]

I LOVE this idea!! Please continue to do mini organizing projects as well. I can't always relate to the big projects, but I love to watch them ! I just can relate more to the mini projects. Thank so much ! I gotta head out to get stuff to do this ! Great idea ! Thanks so much Jennifer.

[@EEN63]

Tackling small organizational tasks is a great way to bite off a little chunk of disorganization. It gives the sense of satisfaction & motivates me to want to tackle larger projects. Thanks for posting a great example of this. Hopefully it will give me the gumption to get going on my own organizational projects. For some reason, I enjoy watching you organize so much more than I enjoy organizing myself - but isn't that always the case? You're a wonderful example & inspiration. Good luck tomorrow!

[@Savin2StayHome]

REALLY IMPRESSED that you did not choose to line the drawers, Jen. I think that's one of the many great differences between you and other organizing GURUs. =) Your work is functional---and beautiful, without being too time consuming. As a working mommy---I love to be inspired to organize, but don't have time for needless steps in projects like these. Thanks so much for sharing! =)

[@honmin8201]

Love your mini projects, one drawer, one shelf, one cupboard at a time keeps me from feeling overwhelmed when de-cluttering and looking st what I love and what I use. Thanks to you I've cut way back and it shows in my bank account. Woud you do a video on what you used and didn't use on a trip? That would be so helpful.

[@melissanajafi4471]

I have always loved watching your videos, Jen. You are a gifted ray of sunshine!

[@ReverseFilmss]

I am going to the container store ! You got me motivated to organize my bedside table drawer. I hope to send you before and after shots! Thanks Jen!

[@palomabrighton9756]

Yay ! Some of my favorite videos of yours are the mini projects, and I really missed them. I'm a big fan of your videos, so please make more like these ones if you get the chance ! Even shorter projects are still quite enjoyable ! -Aly

[@mscurlypixie]

Great minds think alike!! I was just at the Container Store yesterday looking for a solution for my bedside table top drawer! I also love the Linus organizers and wanted to used them in my project. I didn't have the measurements so decided to go today instead. I will send you a photo of my finish project. Jen, thank you so much for sharing, you are a source of inspiration to me. Karina

[@Knoxlette]

This is great motivation for a reorg of the side tables. It's amazing how quickly junk starts to pile up. I'm getting ready for spring and I want to do a purge! Hope you're having fun on vaca!

[@lovetotravel780]

This idea and video is just what I needed to get me motivated. I love your idea of starting with a mini project that can have immediate results and that is a high traffic area. I am going to organize my bed side drawer and start on some other mini projects. Thank you for this idea and video.

[@weisgirl2004]

You have inspired me to organize my drawers especially my bathroom drawers and cabinets. Love this video!

[@oLi102]

I like how detailed this video is. Thanks, Jen!!!

[@nicoledreibelbeis2192]

Looks great! I like the idea of seeing your followers' before & after pics on the blog! Now I am itching to start a project of my own! I can't wait to see what your big project will be for March!

[@sharisp2]

Love the mini-project and also the blog post idea! My kitchen drawers need a mini-overhaul so think I'll get on that this week, thanks for the inspiration Jen! :)

[@sweetpo11]

Glad to see you are back to doing organizational videos! I have missed them.

[@MichCoccaBene]

Would you consider doing a week in the life video where you focus on how you keep up with keeping your house so pristine? I am trying desperately to become more organized and have been following your lead on your mini organizing vids, so THANK YOU for sharing your expertise. xoxo Michele

[@AdairCty]

This inspired me to get started on a few messy drawers this weekend! Thanks!

[@pskeefe]

Thanks for inspiring me to organize my nightstand drawers this weekend! I have let them 'junk up' too long!! Hope you'll be working on your craft room because mine really needs help!! I need ideas!!

[@WillowandPaisley]

My nightstand drawers are so deep and TOO full. Thanks for the inspiration to do something about it.

[@jlo110]

Thanks for these tips, they are very helpful. Now I need to get myself in gear for Spring Cleaning & Organization.

[@channelabdullaev]

OMG, I have the same lap desk with the exact red plaid and everything haha! I'm taking a break from my Lenten fast and finally watched your video after reading about it on your blog. Yay!!

[@TheAlexsdsd]

Thanks for the inspiration to do some organizing around the house. I would love to see other peoples little projects

[@sewgatormomm]

Ugh. We're getting ready to move. It's so overwhelming to sort through the clutter, but your videos inspire me to keep going.

[@Tinkerellastreasuretrunk]

Jen, You have helped me a great deal with what I wanted to organize in my own home.. Thank you.. It really works .

[@eliccajoon]

That's a great night table. Inspires me to replace mine since mine has little drawer/storage space. Hope you're having an amazing time at Disney.

[@jessievnana]

My bedside table needs organizing so badly! You've inspired me. Thanks, Jen! I hope your big project is your craft room...it's so pretty and I'd love to see a new before and after.

[@WithWonder]

I find that it makes a huge difference if I make an effort to put things back exactly the way I found them after use.

[@RanayPerez88]

Thanks for another great video Jen, you always motivate me to do some sort of organizing!!

[@ReverseFilmss]

Good to know..that store is closer to me than the container store! Thanks!

[@WithWonder]

It's where I can write down my dreams if I have any that I remember when waking up. It's part of my therapy.

[@graytchel26]

Yehey! Another organizational video. Oh how I missed them like soooo much:) thanks Jen

[@incitehope99]

Great idea, love to see everyone's projects!!!

[@maryvangel]

Great video!! Can't wait for your evening routine.

[@mariadiosdado5321]

Thank u so much for every great idea u give us!!! You r awsome !!! I love u so much Jen your like my sister I love all the organizing tips u always give us!!!

[@efutch7]

I'm in the middle of reorganizing everything. We are converting our garage into a "class room" and dance room for our daughters who are homeschooled and competitive dancers.so I will make sure to get before and after pictures of all of it!

[@celeste_lives2747]

You are a great organizer and motivate me on getting things done in my small NY apartment.

[@Elyse90505]

I *love* your videos! They are so informative, so inspirational, and it really feels like I have you nearby to offer support! I'm kinda bummed you're taking a hiatus because I just can't get enough of your videos. Can't blame you though - we all need a break once in a while. :)

[@DDplocar]

Jen thanks so much for using Burt's Bee please kept using it my better half work for them... and please continue doing these organizing videos. Thanks again....

[@Xsphincs]

What a sweet surprised to see a video from you!! Can wait for your return from Disney!!

[@WithWonder]

I designate time once a week to pay bills, balance accounts, and do filing. Helps keep big piles from accumulating! I hope to film a video on this soon.

[@HeidelsCorner1]

Oh I've missed you!! Loved this :) I've really fallen off the bandwagon too recently, so this is a great way to get kick started! Thanks for sharing - lots of love to you!

[@roztankes1]

Talk about self motivating...Amazing!!!

[@Martylugo]

I would love to see what you keep on top of you're bedside table as well! Thank so much for the video! :)

[@WithWonder]

I find that spending just a little time each day to pick up and do some surface cleaning helps a lot. I make a point of giving the kitchen a good once over after breakfast and a more thorough clean after dinner every night.

[@masonarturo6002]

I guess Im asking randomly but does anybody know of a way to get back into an instagram account?? I stupidly forgot the login password. I love any help you can give me.

[@tylerkieran1521]

@Mason Arturo instablaster :)

[@southerncouponista]

You always inspire me! Now, I want to do a mini organizational project :)

[@JillyMae89]

Definitely do the before/after blog posts!

[@WithWonder]

A Christmas cactus, box of tissues, my clock, phone, a bird figurine, a Swarovski crystal flower Don gave me a few years ago, a coaster, a BBW candle, and some books.

[@ilovestardoll1523]

I love you Jen! Your positivity is so genuine and the way organizing makes you happy is truly amazing!

[@bnesmommy]

i think it I had a stock pile drawer organiers like yours i think it would motivate me to organize lol.. I love the idea of doing a before and after pic and tweeting them to you maybe that could be some motivation to finish organizing my house :) love your organizing videos and cant wait to see the new project you will start in march

[@taytay2befit]

awww nice jenn i so wanted you to line the drawers but like you said it wasnt needed!!! now makes me wanna go organize like jenn lol

[@SLPtoMD]

I would love to see your storage/organization of manuals for items/appliances/etc. I find they are the most annoying things to have to deal with!! Lol. I hope it's your craft room you are going to work on next!!! :D Makes me want to go an watch your other craft room videos again..hmm..I think I will right now lol

[@ODEY-G0]

Thanks for the inspiration Jen! I recently re did my pantry! I will mail you some pic's!

[@MsAnna4040]

I love your organizing videos. They are inspiring!

[@itssamaraa]

" I like things neat" understatement of the year lol

[@phoenix08808]

I love to organize! And your videos help me to motivate myself when I'm in a rut. Thanks, really enjoyed this one!!!

[@TheGLOSSette]

From the last time I saw her do a bathroom organization seems like she used a lot of cloth bins to sort out different things like towels, travel stuff, extra bath products, etc. If that is what you are asking. BUT I too wanna see an updated bathroom organization.

[@StandardStars]

Love your videos Jen! I was inspired to tidy up before I even got though the intro :)

[@rabbitwhite1278]

Oh no! Coming from a carpentry family the best advice I always give to people is to NEVER clean their wood furniture with water!!! It is horrible for not just the wood but also the polish/finish that is on it. You should always use a furniture polish or polish wipes. You can purchase the wipes at the Dollar Tree. Happy cleaning! :)

[@SammyFabulous]

if its a barely damp cloth then that is what is recommended actually. I have heard this from furniture companies and people who restore furniture. Always using polish makes for a bad case of build up

[@agdollloverforlife]

TFS, this really motivated me to clean my bedside table drawers.

[@mervecoskun1106]

Love love love and enjoyyyyy your videos! I find them so impressive and helpful :)

[@dreamdesignmom]

Great job!! I am so excited for you upcoming projects. Just take your time on the big projects and film everything lol :)

[@shirvada1000]

love the project/organizational vids!!

[@NovaleeNation]

This came at the perfect time because I've been avoiding mine because it's chaos. lol

[@taytay2befit]

great point splitting up the project in short spurts of time thats what im doing for my garage in five to ten min intervals it may take awhile but it seems to work better that way then to go out there full steam and do it at once

[@WithWonder]

I hope to!

[@WithWonder]

You could use sturdy box tops, perhaps.

[@WithWonder]

Ooh, I have one of those! I'll def try it. Thanks for the tip! :)

[@mrssharp]

I think it's great idea to share other's projects. :)

[@rolexk3de]

Thanks for the video! Ok, I'm off to clean out my night table. Can't remember when I opened the bottom drawer - full of stuff I don't use :)

[@kimgriffith1826]

Thank u Jen, I love the blogspot idea.

[@blueeyedmama4]

I love all of your videos, expecially your organizing projects! I have similar little bins that I use in my bedside drawers. (I even organized hubby's side) The containers i have are the smaller ones and even the square ones but I bought mine at the dollar store. The only thing about them that is different is they dont have the rubber pieces on the bottom but they are still wonderful! I am going to have to get some of the bigger sizes for me though :)

[@adfkjgvdjfvbdbvdkjvb]

yay, you're going to do your craft room :)

[@WithWonder]

Of course!

[@WithWonder]

Awesome!

[@Itsalwayssomethingaroundhere]

I just finished organizing my craft space. I would love to share the before and after pics with you. I am going to do a blog post about it.

[@WithWonder]

BBW Cinnamon Frosting and an Aveda candle from many years ago...

[@novamarkuscasander]

You are a real inspiration

[@TheHoneyBeePrincess]

Oh my gosh. I've found my new idol :D I love your videos!!

[@WithWonder]

I haven't changed my bathroom organization since the last time I posted a video on it. I use bins to organize products on shelves in my bathroom closet.

[@MariaKapragkou]

hello from Greece.... you are great...

[@mgster100]

going to look for those containers. You inspire me!

[@WithWonder]

The flip fold board is awesome :)

[@WithWonder]

I put away all of our Christmas things awhile ago...if there's anything still out it's a scent plugin or candle I'm trying to finish before switching out for spring.

[@alright881]

😃 thanks for the ideas! All your organization vids are so helpful!! Keep going!!

[@WithWonder]

It's been working quite well for me! Might be because my drawers have a nice depth to them, tho...

[@Johannea72]

Oh, very inspiring video by the way!

[@YouHaveAGoodPoint]

I missed your home projects! Thank u sooo much! Is your march project your attic! I'm just dying to know.

[@allthingsgirls77]

You should try a magic eraser for that soot stain! Not saying it would DEFIANTLY work, but it gets almost every stain off in my experience!

[@Johannea72]

I still think you should line the drawers. A) it will cover the soot marks and B) it will look so nice through the see through organizers.

[@Organisedvicar]

Wish my bedside table drawers were so empty! Alas, they are not but organised as best I can. I love those drawer organisers also, though they are very pricey here is Aus. I use them in my desk drawers among other places and I find they slip all the time which is so annoying. I'm thinking of using some blue tac to keep them still!

[@WithWonder]

That's a great idea!

[@roztankes1]

Jen, what's your routine for KEEPING things organized? I did my bs table about 3 months ago. You would never know it, it's all jumbled up again!!! Thank you~Love Ur vids!!

[@Betherisma]

Great video! Thank you for doing these organization videos! If this is too personal you don't have to answer, but what is a gratitude journal? Is it just writing don't what you are grateful for?

[@stefanien7733]

You can give old makeup/body care containers to Aveda store or the web sight Terracycle :)

[@cyndeg661]

Love this!!!

[@olgamreal]

Loves your video!

[@naymette]

you may want to fold and put an old scarf in the remaining space to avoid the compartments from moving while opening your drawers

[@NatureSpirit17]

I organized mine a few months ago. Please share more tips though.

[@Kraftykathy29]

Thanks For doing this I have two night tables and man are they messy..
