The Ivory Method
Dressing tables get disorganised and messy very quickly. Lipsticks roll around, hair clips and bobby pins somehow disappear every time you need them. And somehow there’s always eyeshadow staining the bottom of the drawer.
I know this because mine used to look organised when closed but if you opened it, it was absolute chaos. When I started properly organising my room, fixing my dressing table was one of the most satisfying upgrades.
If you only take one thing from this entire blog, let it be this: Measure first. Always.
It sounds so obvious. But I promise you most problems start with buying storage that doesn’t actually fit.
I learned this the hard way when I started reorganising my room a few years ago. I’d get excited, find something online, imagine how perfect it would look… and then realise it was either slightly too tall, too wide, or left awkward empty gaps. In small bedrooms especially, a few centimetres makes a huge difference.
Having a messy fridge wastes food money and time and it makes your healthy eating goals a lot harder to follow through on, especially if your like me and you just grab the first thing you see. Now we are not aiming for one of those TikTok fridge restock where they have clear cartons for the milk cause that’s just a bit unnecessary but we are aiming for systems that make your life easier, healthier and more organised.
Lots of houses throw away a lot of food each week and it’s normally because they forget what they have and therefor forget to eat it before it expires.
Kitchen drawers are one of those things you don’t think about until they start annoying you. I’ve reorganised our kitchen drawers more than once, and what I’ve realised is this: drawers don’t stay tidy because you “try harder.” They stay tidy because they’re designed properly.
Whether you’re working with a small standard cutlery drawer or a deep kitchen drawer for pans and plates, the system is the same, measure properly, divide intentionally, and use storage that actually fits.
