my color-coded printers drawer

i waited all summer until we moved into our new apartment to finally hang my mom's antique printers drawer. 
personally, i think there are really only two ways to go when decorating with one of these: go minimalistic and don't put more than a couple things in it, or load it up. 

obviously you can see which option i've gone for, especially given my affinity for kitsch.

and i guess it also goes without saying that i decided to organize by color. i think it gives a little order to the madness. here it is with all my sewing supplies.

 i like it.  someday i think it would be cool to have each main section be one color. or if everything was just red. yeah, i think i'm going to go for red.

  2. It looks adorable and perfect! One of my best friends organized her little daughter's bookshelf by color, and it looks similarly amazing.

  3. I love it! I think you should go for all lime green. But I'm also on a lime green kick right now :)

  4. I just love it so much. I do this to my closet and something about the colors set up like that is just so soothing. And if I had a choice, I would do an entire blue section, but I'm just obsessed with blue.
