moment of motivation

Yes, I know you will all be shocked.  I had a moment of spring cleaning inspiration. Can you believe it?! (Don't laugh too loudly, please.)

 

 

Our bathroom is tiiiinyyy.   Perhaps one day I'll give you the full photo tour. Seriously, it would take two photos. It's miniscule. We've done our best to be creative with storage space in our little bathroom, and I think with this reorganization we're improving.

 

 

You'll notice in the "before" pictures that the wainscotting has become something of a makeshift storage when we don't have enough shelf space.

 

See?

 

 

 

So. I decided to condense.  The cabinet below had old prescription bags and lots of makeup samples and miscellany in it that I have collected in my three years there and Mr. Homemaker has collected in the last year or so.

 

I shoved as much as possible into the second cabinet, which resides over the sink.  I haven't quite sorted out what to do with the giant hair gel bottle in the corner there, but...I feel sure it will come to me. 

 

Look!

 

This meant that I could reorganize the sink cabinet to my heart's content!  I put in mason jars to hold commonly-needed things and put the taller bottles on the top shelf.  (see below) Isn't it nice? 

 

I found the shorter latch jar at the local flea market for a few dollars, the taller one was found by my mother, and the regular mason jar...I have tons of those for canning/general use.

 

 

 

I know it's not a huge improvement, but -- one thing at a time! With any luck, by the time we actually get everything organized and cleaned and decluttered, it'll be time to move to a bigger space!

 

Seems weird to show you guys my bathroom messes and give you a peek inside my shelves but... why not? It's an adventure.

 

Also. Check out all that sunscreen.  Guess you can tell I'm a redhead, huh?
