My Storage Progress

Above & Below: I picked these book shelves up at Big Lots and thought they'd be an inexpensive way to store my stash. On the left are 2 book cases (I'm having my husband make more shelves for the one on the left) and on the right is a CD rack with my untried's. That's one of my cats in the middle! Below is just a close-up of the right book shelf.
Below: A close-up of the CD rack/untried storage. I showed it to you a few weeks ago when I first started this project, but now I think I've situated all of my untried's and it's almost full.
I've been busy all day entering my polishes into a new spread sheet and organizing them in a way that I hope will make my life so much easier! I'm not done yet, but I just chopped my nails off because I was having trouble typing into the spread sheet! I showed you the CD rack I am using for my untried's a couple of weeks ago, and I think I've gotten all of the untried's organized on that now. It's almost full, so no more new ones until I clear a little space off of there. I picked up a couple of book cases at Big Lots a few weeks back and my husband put those together for me and is making some more shelves for them so I can set the spacing closer together to accommodate my precious little bottles. He thinks I'm a freak I'm sure, but we're still married after all of these year, so I think he just accepts it.


I'm organizing the polishes by brand right now just for the sake of getting them in place and entering them in the spread sheet. I'll go back later and then organize by color within the brand. I've put my treatments, manicure supplies and boxed sets on the lower shelves, along with products I've received for upcoming reviews and giveaways/contests. I'm pretty satisfied with the way it's turning out...it's not ideal, but unless I take over a bigger room (this is my office, which was an extra bedroom originally) and have some sort of cabinets custom-made, this will be fine. I do want to remain married, so I don't want to push things too far. I should be all done next week, but I'm a little afraid to total up everything once I get my spread sheet done! And yes, after working on this project for a couple of weeks now, I do realize the severity of my addiction :) I've only found 2 dupes so far and I've rediscovered some polishes that I'd forgotten about, so it's been a fun experience.
