I couldn't ever fit them under a vanity. (And I avoid keeping fragrance in the bathroom because of the temperature flux.) I'm thinking what I want to do is find a tacklebox with deep dividers, to sort them all. Shoeboxes are a great solution, frankly. Won't work for me (my two little boys love turning everything into art, and shoeboxes are the right size for making houses and castles.) Heather, hee! Oh no, it IS a genetic mutation! My husband is actually thrilled it's in a closet now. Before I'd been using those plastic office organizers on wheels, which meant I could wheel the perfume around all over the house. They're comparatively stationary now :P greeneyes, the fact that you are making the trips to The Container Store means at least there's hope for you :) For some vials, I use cheap-ish glass votive candle holders to store them in bunches upright. But alas, most are now in the state you saw - still in the bags, and utterly scattered. Sigh. I wish I had something like you describe, those decorative boxes, for holding it all together.

All of my samples are currently "organized" in their original packaging from the vendor or person, except for my favorites which I have in a pretty little blue bag I received as a gift. They are starting to spill out of the two decorative boxes where I thought--as an amateur--they would keep nicely. I've taken no less than three trips to The Container Store to find a perfect storage vessel for the vials (more are on the way), but have yet to find one I like. Hopeless!

My husband would go mad - he's the neat freak whose desk, makes the one on madebyblog look disorganised!

I cleaned up my stash on the holiday, too. I am not yet satisfied but I stored perfumes under the bathroom vanity cabinet in their boxes, added other shoeboxes full of bottles and decants, and have another few shoeboxes with sample messes. Then, on mirrors on top of the vanity are the ones I currently adore. Ta-da! I want a storage unit and a display unit, though. Hello Dear!
