Bathroom counter makeover

BEFORE:

This bathroom counter, littered with all my various Bare Minerals powders and other miscellaneous stuff, was beyond messy--even by my standards of messiness! Since I have ample counter space and I'm the only one using this bathroom, I like leaving my stuff out where it's easily accessible every morning. But this was too much!

AFTER:

I bought a really cute melamine serving tray like this one at Amazon. I think I got mine at Bed, Bath and Beyond, but there aren't any at their online site. I reorganized, tossed the junk and I still have all my things accessible, but now it looks MUCH neater. It has been easier to keep it this way too. When too much stray powder gets on the tray, it's easy to wash right off.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

     So I doubt any of you have the messiness problems that I do. But I bet some of you organized types have some cool  organizational tools for keeping the bathroom clutter at a minimum. I'm especially interested in all you BE fans--how do you keep your Bare Minerals products neatly corralled? But I'm always open for any tips for keeping organized. So let me hear them!
