How to Perfectly Organize a Bathroom

The bathroom, easily one of the most hectic places in the house. From making a morning mad dash getting ready for work to trying to keep all the kids bath toys off of the floor... the bathroom just becomes one of those places where things are all over the place.

This month, I'm partnering up with some awesome bloggers to bring you #10DaysofOrganizing. Check the links at the bottom of this post to read about how to get your home organized.

A couple weeks ago I showed you how to refresh your bathroom cosmetically. Today I'll be sharing how to get your bathroom organized. Follow these 4 easy tips for a perfectly organized bathroom.

1. Throw Away Old Products

In the bathroom many product tends to pile up. The ones that we don't use frequently ends up finding it's way under the sink. If you haven't used the product in the last 3-6 months it should be on it's way to the trash can. Once you purge everything you don't need or use you can begin to organize!

2. Organize Under the Sink

USE BINS & BASKETS

Under the sink can get really bad...at least at my house.  A great way to keep everything in its place is to put everything in designated areas. I picked up these clear bins from Target and updated them with the super cute Mambi stickers from Hobby Lobby. 

Another great thing about the bins is that they minimize the amount of clutter that can build up. If you don't have any more space in a particular bin, that will be a easy cue to know it's time to purge again.

ADD A SHELF

Adding a shelf under the sink allows for more organized storage. By adding a shelf I was able to place two smaller bins on one side of the sink where I could split my products into more categories.

3. Place Small Everyday Use Items in Jars 

Everyday use items such as cotton balls and Q-tips should be place in jars. Not only does it keep things organized, but it also looks more polished.

4. Add Additional Storage

There is only so much space under the sink for storage. When you need more space bring in small pieces such as an etagere or a rolling cart. The space behind your toilet usually goes unused so an etagere is perfect for that area.

A rolling cart is used in our bathroom to hold everyday items and also towels/washcloths.

Easy Weekend Bathroom Refresh

I can hardly believe how fast the holidays are approaching. This year we will be hosting Thanksgiving. We will be hosting our family here and also family from out of town. We've been getting the house ready for our guests and this weekend I worked on giving the guest bathroom a little refresh.

The bathroom and kitchen, in my opinion, are two of the most important places in the home. I wanted to have my bathroom perfect for my guests so I did a easy mini makeover to brighten up the space for the holidays. Below is the space before:

I knew I wanted to brighten up the space so the first thing to do was to pick new paint colors. I currently have cherry cabinets and I thought the two colors below looked great with the cabinets.

My plan was to break this refresh up into two days.

Day 1: Clean & Paint Walls
Day 2: Paint Accent Furniture and Decorate

Paint is a great small update that leaves a mega impact! On the first day, we painted the walls. I had my little helper with me and she did a great job. Bathrooms have to be my least favorite room to paint. It's so many turns and nooks and cranies. It's rough!

By the end of Day 1, we had the bathroom fully painted. The space was instantly brightened! I was in love with it already.

On day 2, I tackled painting my accent furniture. I used my paint sprayer to update my etagere. I love etageres, they are perfect for adding additional space in a bathroom. Most space over the toilet goes unused, so these little things are perfect!

The first step was to remove the hardware. Next I did several light coats of paint until it was finished. Patience is key when painting!

 Lastly, after my piece was fully dried I decorated and stocked the bathroom.

The first thing on my list was toilet tissue. You can never have too much tissue. It's one of those things you don't want to run out of when you have guests. I stopped by Target to pick up a couple of packs of Quilted Northern Ultra Soft & Strong® Mega Rolls. The holiday season is pretty busy so having 4 rolls in 1 means less time of having to change the roll. With a full house, I need rolls of tissue that is just as full.

I also added some accessories I had around the house such as a small bowl to catch little items and a candle. The little birdie floats around the house and I think it has found it's new home. Lastly, I added a basket on top to hold extra toilet paper.

Over the tub I added some artwork, candles and a plant.

And that folks, was my weekend project, just in time for the holidays! I absolutely love how it turned out!

To pick up a pack of Quilted Northern Ultra Soft & Strong Mega Rolls, visit your local Target. I found this pack in the tissue aisle. Also recieve 5% off this item from the Target Cartwheel.

MEDICINE CABINET ORGANIZATION

Organize your medicine cabinet with cheap thrift finds and items found in the kitchen.

How To:
1. Purge, Purge, Purge! Get rid of things you rarely use.

2. Find things from the kitchen to re-purpose. Make a brush holder out of empty canned good cans or use a mason jar to hold your cotton balls.

3. Browse thrift stores for small glassware to place your like items in. A glass shelf can hold your mascara and eyeliners and a glass jar can be used for Q-Tips (both were $.99 at Goodwill)

4. Place easily lost items such as hair ties and nail kits in plastic cases (found at hobby look for under $2.00 a piece)

5. Create more storage space by finding items that have dual purpose. The the glass storage shelf provides storage for makeup and an additional shelving space.
