If you're looking for some quick organizational fixes in your bathroom read these tips from Estelle before you get started:
Toss out anything old or that you don't use, such as expired medicines, half-used bottles, rusty nail clippers or tweezers and old toothbrushes. Bring your outdated medicines to your pharmacist for recycling. Don't flush them down the toilet as they may add toxins to the water table.
Use drawer organizers to keep small items in order.
If you have a freestanding sink, attach a fabric skirt for added storage space. This not only adds decoration, but also helps to keep supplies you don't use everyday out of sight. Use stackable baskets to easily identify your supplies.
Place hooks with water-resistant adhesive such as the Command™ strips from 3M near the tub area for everyone's current towel and supplies. Keep fresh towels in a nearby linen closet, or even a spare dresser drawer.
Keep all related products together. For example, store your blow dryer and other hair styling accessories/products in a caddy mounted on the wall or inside a cabinet door. This gives you easy access to all your grooming supplies and helps avoid frantic, last-minute searches.
Once you've organized your bathroom you may find you have duplicates of some products. Pack those cosmetics and toiletries you just can't bring yourself to part with in a travel bag and store with your suitcases. They're ready to go when you are.
Don't store medicine in the bathroom. The heat and humidity can adversely affect the potency of some drugs.
