Let's get organized: part 3- the bathroom

We've been slowly but surely reorganizing each room in our apartment.  We started with the living room and the kitchen, and now it's time for the bathroom.  I'm sharing our new organization system, not because I think it's the best, but sometimes, looking at what others have done inspires me, or gets my creative/organization juices flowing, and I get that aha! moment.  Maybe sharing our ideas will do the same for someone else.  If not, thanks for humoring me. ;)

We have 1 built in linen closet (love it!), some storage under the sink, and a small medicine cabinet.  We also added another linen closet for some extra storage.

Our main closet now holds: diapers, baby lotion, body wash, etc.  Inside that locked toolbox is all of our medicines (It's a requirement of the state in order to keep our home open for foster care).  The 2 canvas baskets hold extra toiletries, and things we don't use everyday.  Then we have: beach towels and older towels, and sheets.  Toilet paper on the bottom.



Under the sink:  in the canvas basket are things we use (almost) every day.  My hairdryer, straightener, and curling iron rest next to that, and then we have a small trash can. 

In the medicine cabinet: since we don't actually use that for medicines, we put things that Will and I use daily, or things we don't want Kristen to get ahold of (like Will's razor). 

Another Pinterest idea! Magnetic strips to hold bobby pins, tweezers, etc. (no, I don't know what that mystery stain is, and no, it won't come off. Joys of apartment living!)

In our other linen closet: towels! 

So that's it- that's how we make our small bathroom work for 3 (almost 4) people!
