Stash pictures- Storage with open drawers and brushes

Today's post is rather image heavy as I'll be showing you how I organize my rather massive stash of goodies. In my current room, most of my stash actually sits on my bed. I'd say a good majority of it sits in a large drawer unit I bought from the Container store. You can find this in the hobbies section of the store for about $30. My foundation's hiding behind my lotion bottle Next to that sits my brush holder. This holds the large majority of my brushes, as well as my brush cleaner and a few other things. I got this at Target for $20 in the scrapbooking section. The top compartment is sectioned off into 4. This section holds my longer/regular handled brushes, my Shu Uemura brush set, and a spray bottle of MAC brush cleanser.
On one side of the hlder is a board with elastic bands. This holds my mascaras, UDPPs, lash conditioners and my Garnier Rollerball.
This goody also has 2 drawers. The larger drawer holds miscellaneous tools, and lip balm. The Sharpie's for marking packages...
There's another drawer on the other side that has been sectioned off. The sections are perfect for holding my Kabuki brushes.
Going back to the large drawer unit, here's what's inside:

Small stash of Dior:
My desk is a bit of a mess...but it holds a fair amount of my stash as well
Desk drawer:
Top of the smaller drawer units..the top drawer holds other stuff(non-mu related), middle drawer holds loose shadows, bottom holds NYX singles. There's a largish palette holding some Stila singles and duo that sits on top of the thing.
Bottom one: Gel liners. potted lip products, BB, NYX, and Stila palettes
Larger drawer unit. My Cargo eyeshadow book sits on top of this. The top drawer holds my Chanel..this is mostly JC blushes.

NExt to my monitor I have a mesh organizer. This holds liners for the most part, some nail stuff. mascara, and scissors. It also has my powder and mirror in it currently. I have a lighter there, but don't worry, I don't smoke...it's there from when I depotted a HIP duo
Above my monitor sits this acrylic organizer I found at Big Lots for $2. It holds my MAC lippies and LM stickglosses
My Hello kitty brush holder holds medium handled brushes that would get lost in my regular brush holder
Beneath my bed, I have a set of drawers as well. One holds larger items as well as items that I don't have place for otherwise..and yes...there's a PSP in there...
This box also sits in a cabinet below my bed usually. It contains backup items as well as items that are too pretty for me to touch..
I also have a large Clinique GWP bag full of samples I've accumulated from online orders and swaps..it's somewhat embarassingly large.
My drawer of nail stuff
My drawer of known cast offs: These are to be purged from my stash one way or another. They get no 2nd chance. I have other to be purged items than this, but they're stored with my regular stash for some reason. (I'm not sure why I did it that way). This stuff sits in another room altogether...in a drawer unit from Joann Fabrics...it lives with my art/sewing supplies.
