This is my bathroom…you have my spray painted faucet, my spray painted vanity and medicine cabinet (they used to match my kitchen cabinets…what a transformation, huh?), my spray painted garbage can and so on…looks pretty harmless, right?!
WRONG!!! Oh me – oh my…my bathroom vanity is a MESS!!
Not anymore…I’m tired of the mess. We are going to use the space we have and use it well!!
I paid one of my boys to take everything out and organize “like things” throwing away any junk.
This made it easier to get it all together after I picked up some Dollar Store containers.
I labeled them with some burlap tags (I just cut strips of burlap and then used a sharpie to write on them) and each of us has one to keep our personal things in.
 |
| I guess I could have wiped it out but I have no intentions of using it again! |
If When I redo my bathroom, the vanity is going and I want to replace it with a nice mirror. So I thought I’d get a jump start and store the stuff from it in our own little boxes.
Doesn’t it look so much better? We’ve been using this system of boxes for a couple of weeks now and everyone is doing very well putting things back where they belong. It makes for a nice clean counter top too!
LOVE it!
Looks great! Though I have to say mine is 5x worse than yours was…will have to hit up Dollar store for those containers- great affordable idea 🙂 Where did you find that over the cupboard door organizer and was it expensive?? I am thinking you will inspire me to clean my home- I am moving in 4 mths and need to get a handle on things now
Thanks…I found the door organizer at Home Depot…it was around $6.50. I hope I can inspire you. All the inspiration in blogland has really helped me want to get it together!
I had to laugh because I raised 4 also…3 boys and a girl and my husband’s name was Mark. But when you said “How does it get this bad”? I laughed because I used to say the same thing and I’ll answer that question….There’s only 1 of YOU and 5 of them!!!LOL! You are WAY outnumbered! LOL! I used to scratch my head all the time trying to figure out why I couldn’t stay on top of things and the answer was right in front of me running around and some were sitting on the couch! But they were a big help too and we did some fun projects together and gardened together and made memories. Good ones I hope!
I think it was you that got me going on my kitchen and now my cupboards but I am way slower than you but I love that at this stage of my life I can go at my own pace…which, granted, is more like a snail these days but I still love making a house a home. Thanks for the inspiration and blessings to you and your beautiful family.
Thanks so much for the sweet comment. I am certainly outnumbered…great theory!! My kids are helpful (when they want to be) and I do greatly appreciate their help. I certainly couldn’t do all I do now without their help. I too hope they are making good memories…being a family and working together.
Thanks for sticking around for my organizing adventure…keep going on the kitchen!!
Blessings,
Carrie
I like your ideas! It made me smile, because just yesterday I completely dejunked and cleaned our bathroom. Ahhhh…. what a nice feeling. 🙂
It looks so neat and organized now! I just love when our bathroom looks the same way. Now I just need to get started!
I love those dollar store boxes! I use them in our bathroom as well 🙂
Carrie this looks fantastic! You did such a wonderful job and it looks so clean and refreshing. I am sure you time getting ready now is much more relaxing since it is so organized. 🙂
Saw you on Six Sister’s Stuff. Good job on the bathroom. I love the Dollar Store for containers!
What a simple thing to put names on the boxes. I’d have put thing together by product and left everyone opening and closing box after box! Great tip.
I’ll have to catalog this tip! Great organizational tips.
Looks so much better, it’s so nice to get rid of the clutter right? Would you be interested in guest posting on my blog sometime w an organizing post? Also, I would LOVE for you to link this up to My Favorite Things Party going on all week! Stopping by from the Tip Me Tuesday Party. I hope you will stop by & link up, oh & I am your newest follower!
Much love,

Great solution for large families sharing a small bathroom space! Well done. 🙂

I wished my bathroom was as organised as yours. It needs to get sorted but I never seem to get the time to organise it.
I just tweaked under my bathroom sink. I installed toothbrush holders (the metal kind with a cup hole in the middle) in the inside of the door. 2 hairbrushes fit in each cup hole! No more basket of brushes on the vanity counter!!
My name is Raquel I´from Argentina,I don´t speak english but whit the pictures i understad all, you inspired me, thank you very much for your blog!!
