Repurpose that "Over the door" shoe rack!

      Over the door shoe racks are amazing for so many things (except I don't love them for their original purpose).  They can be used to store makeup, hair accessories, toiletries, scarves, belts, wallets, office supplies, small toys, cleaning supplies, snacks, pantry items, etc. I love this method because it is inexpensive, really easy to organize, and allows for everything to be easily seen (so that you can always know what you have----no more outta sight outta mind with your items).  If I can't see something, I often don't remember I have it, and therefore don't use it. I also label my pockets so I never wind up putting items away in the wrong place---helps keep me accountable! :) Below are some pictures of some ways to use them for accessories, and makeup/bathroom items.  I will post more of how I use them to store office supplies.

      You can buy them just about anywhere----Target, Walmart, Home Depot, Bed Bath and Beyond, The Container Store etc.  I bought mine shown from Home Depot--(around $10).  If you look at their website it is a lot more money online (over $20!---but it was less than $10 when I bought them in the store).  Shop around for the best price, and style. You can find them in all different colors and patterns.  I attached links to the bottom of this post that shows some of the many options out there!

My house:
One side of my bathroom door is used to hold all of my makeup/makeup brushes/tools/makeup brush cleaners/lotions/bronzers/ and hair appliances.  





The other side of door is used to store wallets, headbands, belts, wristlets, and sunglasses.




 Here are some others' ideas that I found when I was searching online.
