Bathroom Organisation

While I am on my organising and purging spree I've decided to tackle our bathroom. I've been scouring Pinterest and lusting over dream bathroom storage.

While dreaming about these beautiful rooms with ample storage is fun, it's pointless as I can't work this into what I have right now. I don't have time to waste procrastinating when I could be planning. Hahaha I did not just say that.

We have next to no storage in our small bathroom. The mister calls the bathroom cupboard the 'cupboard of death'. Our linen 'closet' is open shelves. We've tried to organise it with large boxes but they obviously aren't enough. I haven't tidied anything up, it's a disgrace and I apologise. I can't believe I'm sharing these photos, but here goes.

Our only cupboard space - no draws, lots of drains taking up space and mess

Quick side note - see that pink hairspray? It's shit, as in doesn't work, and highly flammable. DO NOT use it as a blow torch. Trust me on this one, lighting your hand up is painful. The really stupid thing? I'd warned the mister not to do it as it'd burn him then I went and did it. He didn't get burned, I did. I think that will be the first thing I toss - that thing could burn our whole house down.

I've tried to use baskets to help the clutter - hair stuff, make-up and daily used stuff

Our linen 'closet', toothbrush stuff and shower stuff

I would love for our bathroom cupboard under the sink to resemble something like these do. They won't but they might come somewhat close. Maybe when we move?

Some awesome tips and tricks I could use now though are light baskets and rolled towels. Rolling towels - it looks neater but will it take up less space?

I never thought about using a Lazy Susan! Awesome idea but I'm not sure it would fit. Maybe a trip to Ikea is necessary.

First of all though I need to purge. There's so much stuff that I just don't use. I have to stop keeping a lot of it because I want to use it. All that nail polish is just not going to help me paint my dodgy nails. All those skin care products are not going to help me look after my skin any more than I already do. If they were I'd have used them in the last twelve months, right?

Next week I'll share the results. Although pretty baskets won't be included, that's a day trip in itself and not one we will be having any time soon unfortunately.

Please tell me I'm not alone in messy bathrooms?
