Organize Your Bathroom
Families often fight over bathroom time . . . especially if they have teenager girls. When you finally get a chance to get in there to get ready for work or bed, you may not have as much time as you’d like. Solution? Make sure the bathroom is streamlined for quick morning and evening routines.

Bathroom Organization
If you’re lucky enough to have a “guest bathroom”, one that isn’t used by the family and one where you can always keep clean hand towels hanging for the guests, good for you. For most of us however, we have one or two bathrooms, and they both get a lot of use from the family members on a daily basis. Let’s see how you can organize your bathroom so that it’s guest ready too.

Bathroom Organizing Ideas

If you’re short on space in the bathroom, there are a number of ways you can optimize the space you do have to work with. Here are some ideas that have worked great for our family:

- My daughter and I don’t have a lot of jewelry, but we keep the jewelry we do have in the bathroom. Something I found that’s really neat to organize your jewelry is a coffee mug holder. We’ve found several very inexpensive at yard sales. They look like miniature coat racks. They’re small stands that have posts sticking out of them to hang coffee mugs on. These work great for hanging necklaces and bracelets on. We have one in each of our bathrooms. – Small corner shelves that are meant to go on the wall fit nicely into the corners of your bathroom counters. These are easy to find at yard sales and give you several shelves to put makeup, knickknacks, etc., on. I keep a small pottery bowl on one of my shelves to keep my good rings in one place (so I’ll know where they are). My daughter and I have fun shopping for little one-of-a kind finds like these at local craft shows. [Read more...]

The one thing that most of us have too much of is lots of bottles of “stuff” sitting around the sink and countertop. Go through these and discard what you don’t use on a daily basis, and what only has a drip left in it. Go buy two decorative baskets and have a “his” and “hers”. One for his stuff, and one for her stuff. You could keep your toothpaste, hairspray, brush and comb, moisturizer, etc., in a basket that can be simply picked up and moved when guests come, and then put back when you’re ready to use them again.
