Zone 6: Bathroom & hall closet

Moving right along, it's time to tackle the downstairs (AKA the master) bathroom.

We don't technically have a master bathroom in our house which is quite a change for us as every other place we lived in before buying this home had an attached master bathroom.

It's a pretty small bathroom but once we get some tile on the floor instead of the current laminate (white laminate against a white vanity/toilet and tub?) I'll be pretty happy with this bathroom.  Someday I'd love a new faucet, but that can wait.

I deep cleaned the bathroom last week and then took alllllllll (and I do mean alllllll) the contents of the vanity out and spread it all over the floor to organize.  I might be a hoarder stockpiler.  I used to play the CVS/Walgreens game like crazy a few years ago and I still haven't used up all my stockpile from that time.  I haven't even stepped foot inside a CVS or Walgreens in months and the last time I did, it wasn't to get free product, it was just for some baby tylenol.  I've even given away a bunch and still have a stockpile left.  Unreal since almost all of it was free or nearly free.

Anyway, I've had all that stockpile on shelves in our basement and since we're cleaning out our basement to try to faux finish it, I wanted to clear off those shelves and bring everything upstairs.  I started with baskets under the sink.

I have a hair basket for an extra shampoo and conditioner, hair product and brushes, then a body basket for body wash, soap and deodorant and finally a face basket for face wash/cleanser, eye makeup remover, face lotion, etc.

I did a quick reorganization of my makeup drawer since it had gotten a little out of control and messy.  Nothing fancy, just used a drawer organizer to separate things out and a few little containers in back for my clips and hairbands.

  Then I tackled the hall closet outside of this bathroom.

It had gotten pretty bad since the last time I organized it.  Which is exactly why I'm labeling every last thing this time.  I don't ever want to get disorganized again!

Here it is today:

The shoe holder houses my hubby's hats and belts up top, my blow dryer, curling iron and straightening irons and then all our travel goodies we gather along the way.  I finally labeled these pockets so we can grab whatever we need when we're packing really quickly.

The two blue baskets up top have yet to be labeled, but those are my stockpile of shampoos and conditioners and body washes.  One shelf has all our medicines in baskets (don't worry, this door is child-proofed and we chose a higher shelf), another has our towels, hand towels and wash cloths and the top shelf is boring old toilet paper.

And finally, my collection of candles and nail supplies needed a home, so they got, respectively, a random vase and Rubbermaid-type container.

All the baskets came from the Dollar Tree at one point or another.  Love me some Dollar Tree.  :)

The end.  Now off to continue the never-ending kitchen project.  I swear I will never get my kitchen organized.
