Since being back in Moscow, I've started to feel like this is really a home to me. Because of this, I've started to organize my apartment so that it's more like a home and not just a place I keep my stuff while I live here. I found these great ideas on Pinterest and also another craft blog that I found. (Sorry that I cannot give credit where credit is due because I can't remember the name. I'm sure they're not the first to think of it anyway.)
For my bracelets, I put them on a bottle that I kept. (by the way, I collect bottles from time to time so this puts some of them to good use.) :)

This summer I finally got some cosmetic brushes. I've never owed any. I saw this idea on Pinterest. The container is a little too big I think but it gets the job done. I just happened to find it in my apartment not being used. I like the coffee bean idea. But I think when I go to Ikea soon, I'm going to look for a large size coffee mug. I think that would be cuter. A coffee mug with coffee beans in it to hold my brushes. :)
I'm also going to try this idea to organize my earrings. I took this picture off the internet. When I go to Ikea I'm going to try and find a cute frame. I've also seen it with lace stapled in behind the frame. Not sure where I'm going to find lace or wire. We'll see.
I also organized my bookshelf.
Love all of those ideas! How many more years are you going to teach in Moscow? uh-hem like enough time for a visitor.. :)
