Lily- Organizing {My bedroom}

Two of my absolute favorite activities are decorating and organizing (is it obvious what i've been doing today?). So a while back I did a post on my bedroom, but today is all about keeping it cute and in order. Here's a few pics and ideas that hopefully will help y'all out!


Desk: A lot of people just use their desk as a junk pile, a place holder! but why not make it a adorable study-work space? I keep my papers and things in the drawers obviously but on top I displayed a few of my classier items. for my basic writing utencils (lame stuff like pencils and ballpoint pens) i just use my tory burch nylon makeup bag as a cute replacent for a pencil case. I also have a stack of a few of my favorite books which you could easily do to give your desk a cute personal touch!


Dresser/vanity: same as the desk, many people just cram their belongings, money, makeup jewlery, etc. all over it, but why not keep it cute and organized? i keep my earrings on an adorable mirror-tray sort of thing just to keep them from jumbling up and looking unappealing. I have my Lilly P wristlet as well as makeup bag from estee lauder (that i keep accessories in). try to keep your jewelry organized, you could even use a jewelry tree of some sort to make you look like you have your life together.


Foot of the bed: Now this is more of a minor detail, yet it can go a long way. don't just pile your shoes here, instead add a bench or chest! I have a suticase that i got from a darling little antique shop that I also use for storage use! to make it look classy, add a stack of books or maybe flowers! on top of my books i placed a small teacup to make a cute vintage statement
Shelf decor: shelves in my opinion are pretty tricky to decorate. you want to make it cute and classy, not catastrophic and cluttered. I often times rearrange my shelves, seeing I can never get them quite right. I have a vintage style clock (you can but them anywhere, and they match with simply anything) as well as my mason jars with seashells, a cunning little suitcase, my lilly pulitzer agenda (from last year-but who's counting?) as well as the words "lily's room" in scrabble tiles. you can always always always stack some books, add a vase of flowers, or sweet photos as well!




Scarf rack: this is kind of self explanatory, But it's super important to keep your accessories together! my dad and I made my scarf rack a while back with just a piece of barnwood and some really cool old nails. it's a really simple DIY that gives your room a touch of shabby chic!





Pens, pencils and Markers: writing utencils are some of my favorite things to display, so why not put them in darling little jars? I have my gel pens in a small mason jar, sharpie pens in a larger jar (which i am going to add sprinkles to the bottom just like here). for my pencils i placed them in a hubert's lemonade bottle (which is sold at whole foods and is the most delicious drink ever). for my markers and miscellaneous things i have them in a striped little bucket from the target dollar section (you can find tons of different prints too). All you have to do is take your adorable colorful supplies, gather up some unique jars/buckets, and you're set!

Good luck organizing and i hope you guys have a Fantastic weekend!
xoxo,
Lily
