Functional and Pretty: Bathroom Organizing Ideas

disclosure box

Turn a blah into ahhh with these functional and pretty bathroom organizing ideas!

I’m all for making healthy habits part of my routine.  But you know what helps?  Making it look pretty.  We have a good size bathroom, but not a lot of counter space or storage.  I swear, there need to be more women architects!  We’d have this figured out by now.

I stray.

So, yes.   I’d floss more.  Rinse more.  Use my facial toner more.  All of that, if I could find a way to keep this products within reach but not cluttered on my counter.  Wouldn’t we all?

My mission for this summer is to reorganize and prettify the bathrooms in this house so that being “totally taken care of” looks good.

First up: My husband’s vanity.  All his bottles had to go.  He’s been a quick adapter to our new use of Listerine Total Care products, but I’m tired of seeing all of the product scattered on the counter.

So my first step?  New containers for everything.  Oh, and I cleared out some drawer space for some of these other things that I was tired of looking at!

So much better!  Right?

I’m fairly certain the other spaces won’t be so easy to make look great.  So, I went to my good friend Pinterest to get inspiration from fellow bloggers.  Here’s what I found:

What about going vertical?  This two-tiered basket is pretty amazing!  Check it out on The Inspired Room.

Love the idea of pulling the makeup out of my bathroom area and creating a little vanity like this.  Just need a big mirror to go with.  And great lighting!  Love this pic from The Every Girl.

I’m a huge believer in the back-of-the-door storage, but THIS never occurred to me.  Just brilliant.  Check out the how-to on Imperfect Homemaking.

And, one more.  Just love how styled and practical this is.  Pretty picture (and clever storage tips) from Graceful Order.

Have you gotten inspired?  Be sure to pick up all of the items you need to be Totally Taken Care Of this summer at Walgreen’s and get to beautifying your life and your space!
