109 Our Newly Organized Bathroom Bliss

So the desk.  It's not done.  Almost.  But there has been a little fabric snafu so I am delaying the reveal for another day or two.

But that doesn't mean I wasn't organizing something.

We recently moved our master bedroom back into the almost finished lower level, so we are slowly figuring out what is working and what isn't.  The other evening, my helpful hubs was putting away some linens he had just folded and started taking our towels to the laundry room linen cabinet.  We keep our puppy towels in there, but not ours.  This is why I keep organizing.  Something apparently wasn't connecting.  I know that if I need a towel before/after my shower, I am not going to happily hop across the chilly lower level to the laundry room.  Just leaving the spare stack on the top of the hamper wasn't such a great solution either.  So, I decided this was my moment to look at how we were using the entire space.

I noticed two things.

1.  The floating shelf we had installed seemed to have switched from a perfume shelf to a catch all for my daily toiletries, and was a bit of a cluttered mess:


 

2.  We weren't really being smart about how we were using our tall bathroom cabinet:




So, back to Target I went where I went straight for those stinkin' adorable plastic basket-weave bins I had spotted on my last shopping trip.

When I organize, I start by giving myself a blank slate.  I emptied the cabinet and the shelf and wiped them clean.


Then, I put the towels in first since I knew that is the main reason for the change.  Our spare set of towels will now live on the shelf.  And all those toiletries that once cluttered the back of the toilet, now live in one of the new baskets.



In fact, I thought "his" and "hers" baskets would be the most effective.  So we each got one...


The white basket on top is where we are keeping the overflow packaging of cotton swabs and cotton pads from our canisters that are on display.



Since I was now left with an empty floating shelf, I knew it was the perfect place to set out some bath salts.  Right within reach of the tub.


Not only is the bathroom space now being used in a more effective manner, it just feels better.  I love when a mini-update has such a big impact on the entire space.





Have I mentioned how much IHeart Organizing?

Total cost: 
Two teal baskets from Target: $12
Three acrylic canisters for bath salts: $12

Anyone else tackle a quick project this weekend that left them smiling every minute after?  What "A Ha" moment drove you to re-think a space?

  1. Wow! I love it! So organized and tidy. I love how buying just a few things can make an area look so different. Also, I'm obsessed with those towels! Mind if I ask where you got them?!

  5. Looks awesome! (Well the before looked awesome too, but I can totally identify with the whole "it just FEELS better now" concept.)

    Had an exciting organizing moment this weekend and I thought of you :o). I was pawing through a cupboard and getting frustrated with a pile of interchangeable plates for my sandwich maker that were trying to make a getaway. I ran up to my (newly organized) craft room and found a basket that was the exact length and height of the plates and fit them perfectly!

    I might have done a fist pump. Or let out a "woo-hoo!". Or both.

    I tried to get my husband to share in my excitement, and bless his heart he really tried, but I think only other fellow organizer-junkies can really identify with this kind of excitement! Yay shopping in my own home!

  9. Yes, great job making more use of your available space. I would LOVE to have beautiful cabinet space in our bathroom like you have. I recently organized our outside-the-bathroom closet with 'his' and 'her' plastic bins, and it's such a great solution for keeping our many grooming products organized. I absolutely love your towels! The pattern and color really adds a lot to your well-designed bathroom.

  10. Adorable!

    I saw those same blue and green baskets when I was at Target on Friday (buying new baskets to organize our kid DVD collection - it's SO MUCH better now!) and I thought of you immediately! Too funny! : )

  11. Sigh - I have been coveting that floating wall shelf for some time now - SO many things I could do with one or two, or three... But sadly cannot find ANYTHING like it anywhere on the internet (and no longer at Target where you found it, dangit-all). The search continues...

    That said, glad you aren't keeping your perfumes there anymore - I've read many places that the moist, warm air of the bathroom is the worst place for perfumes (just like it's bad for your medicines).

    Thanks for all your inspiration - I know it's fun work for you, but it's still work, and so very, very appreciated.

  28. I have the same bathroom cabinet, and I've used those baskets elsewhere in the kitchen for storing our medicine on a high kid-proof shelf. Hadn't thought of putting them here, but this would solve a big organizational problem for us. Thanks for the tip!

  29. I have been given permission by my hubby to totally redo my office. I mean gut the entire thing and totally redo it.

  34. Where do you hang your towels to dry? I can't imagine you fold them up wet and store them until the next day. I guess I don't get how that works.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. We actually have an "over the door" hook which I use to hang our daily towels and my robe. The towels in the cabinet are just an extra set since I launder and switch them out frequently. I like to keep two sets of towels total per person.

      xoxo!
      Jen

      Delete
    2. So you leave a folded towel above the covered toilet seat while you shower then reach down to grab it...why not add a nice hook to the tiny wall space that is by the shower curtain so your towel can be hanging and you can reach for it vs. having to reach down and grab it and wet the floor?

      Delete
    3. Nope, it's hanging on the bathroom door, nothing near the toilet. I grab it off of the back of the door and set it on a hamper cabinet next to the tub while I shower and it's right there when I get out. Then, I hang it back on the hook behind our bathroom door to dry until the next day. The folded towels are in the cabinet for storage purposes only, so when my every day towel is being laundered, I can pull the clean one from the cabinet and hang it on the hook. And repeat.... Hope that makes more sense.

  38. Awesome as usual! You always inspire me to tinker on something whenever I read your blog posts :) We are finishing our own bathroom redo & my favorite little geek-out accessories are our new towel hooks. I think they're called "clever hooks," and they actually pinch & hold the towels when you hang them up -- you can literally just toss the towel at them and they'll catch it! Definitely motivates the hubby to hang up his stuff :) We'll be tackling our cabinets next, and I am definitely checking our Target for those baskets! Any chance you'll be posting anything on organizing hair styling tools?

  40. I had my "a-ha" moment last weekend, but didn't have the time to put it into action yet. Hopefully this weekend I will. But I realized that I need baskets in our very small pantry closet because things just never go back in the right spot and we are both to blame. I hate when I buy something to just find out that we did have it in the pantry but because it wasn't organized I couldn't see it quick enough. So I have one extra basket {just like the white one that you have} and I might need another one, but we will see how many things can fit into the one basket I already have. The one thing I did do recently was out Linen Closet. Just couldn't take the mess anymore. You can check it out here if you want to see what makes me smile every time I go in the closet. http://www.thedecorscene.blogspot.com/2012/01/sometimes-you-just-have-to-purge.html

    I also had this little change up in our bathroom. Almost forgot about this one. http://www.thedecorscene.blogspot.com/2012/01/little-switch-roo.html

  58. I too love organizing! I love how it's an ever changing process. New organizing options to make things work better as needs change. Last week I updated/organized our bathroom. We have only 1 bathroom in our home and it's TINY! We also only have 1 tiny linen closet in the hallway. I already try to have limited towels due to the limited space, but still, it wasn't working. I found a white woven basket at Lowes for $8, had the hubby attach the bottom of it to the wall (also added a piece of metal spray painted white to add stability) above our above the toilet medicine cabinent. I am able to place 4 of our full size towels up there, folded flat. I attemped rolling them, but it didn't look as put together. Love all of your posts Jen!!

  67. as usual a mini update is as good as a major update from you Jen! I love those little aha moments also.. am I allowed to offer a suggestion on your posts? you know how you put the cost of things? maybe it would be good to list the items (ie towels and cabinet etc) that you have in the space so save repeat questions? so you could have an inventory list even if it is an old product.. I know it our australian home beautiful magazine they put together a page (of how to put this look together) and tell you where you might find similar items.. that is a lot of work but maybe for a big project you could do that and for the small ones just a small inventory list.. I love waking up to find a new post from you! thanks xx

  69. I've been reading (stalking) your blog the past couple of months and I think sub-consciously, you're the reason we re-organized our living room. It's a really strange shape... longer than it is wide, but with a fireplace on the longest wall and directly across from it is a wide opening into the Dining Room. We learned that the loveseat AND sofa we bought before we moved in were too much furniture for the room, but we won't live here forever, so we just set it up the best way we could. I noticed that our coffee table was one of the first surfaces you saw when you walked in, so it became a catch-all. I followed the advice of one of your posts and put a nice wicker tray on the coffee table for things like remotes, etc. It made a HUGE difference. Secondly, with the new set-up, the left side of the sofa was completely out of reach of any surface to rest a drink on. I found a really cute faux-leather ottoman, that doubles as storage with a hinged top and put a wooden tray on top to act as a surface for a drink (with a coaster, of course). The best part is it's the ideal place to store our throw blanket when not in use. I adore the new set-up and only cost us the price of the ottoman, as I had everything else on-hand. You've been a HUGE inspiration. I've tackled so many other projects in the past couple of months, so thanks! :)

Like another person commented thanks for sharing those little things like where are the towels while you take a shower. :) I have more "invade your personal space" question--where do you keep the tooth brushes now?

    1. Hi Renea!

      The toothbrushes are now stored in the left drawer below the sink. I heard once that flushing the toilet throws bacteria into the air {and I know that my three boys don't always remember to shut the toilet lid before flushing, ew}, so now we are always sure to keep our toothbrushes concealed in any bathroom.

    1. Hello!

      I found it at Target awhile ago. Unfortunately, I haven't seen them since so now I am kicking myself for not snagging a couple more. They are really great!

      xo,

  75. Hi Jen! Where is your cabinet from anyways?! Love it. I was looking on the Target website which is where I assumed you got it and apparently I was wrong! Do tell, please :)

    1. Hi Sam! It actually was a Target find, but years and years ago. Overstock and Hayneedle have similar styles now.

      xo!
