I've been trying to think of a good way to organize my oil paints. They were all in a large bin and I was constantly pawing through them and not finding what I was looking for. The other day, at Big Lots, I noticed this plastic 3 drawer unit for about $5. I bought it for organizing my oils.
I have different color groups in different drawers. Top is yellows, sienna, white; middle is oranges, reds, black, browns; bottom is greens, blues, and purples.
It's a simple way of organizing all those pesky tubes of paint and it really works. I'm going to get another one for my acrylic paints.

What a good idea!
What a great deal you found, and so useful. Thanks for sharing :)
Great idea I need one,the more colors I buy the more I can't find.
Leave it to you miss Carol to find such a wonderful, but simple solution! I have been pondering this dilema for awhile now...I had all my paints separated in boxes...but they take up too much room...I'm off to BIG LOTS...you get the brilliance prize today!
I know exactly what you are talking about! I now use heavy duty zip lock bags, one for each color family. Organization sure helps eliminate wasted time.
Thanks for the tip Carol!
More organized and cleaner looking too!
