Some small space organization for our bathroom essentials! A LOT Has changed in our master bathroom since I last tackled it for a new reveal here on the blog. I find it amazing how everything is always just such an evolution! Most particularly the changes we’ve made have given us a lot more bathroom organization and storage that were simple, easy to do and REALLY improved how the space worked. Starting with changing the furniture in here!
The most recent sneak peak I shared was in March of this year when I gave my grandparents’ three legged milking stool a makeover. Its still here and providing us with a great spot for a book, glass of wine or (obviously) a seat when needed.
My grandparents’ old magazine rack is perfect for reading material but, also, its little cubby provided a great little hidden spot for bathroom cleaning products.
Over by the commode my grandparents’ pretty old table provided a nice spot for a lamp and, on the center shelf, I found a little basket of mine fit perfect for extra toilet paper and ladies essentials!
On the back of the toilet Lodi provided a small, narrow basket that fits extra wash cloths perfectly and totally out of the way.
The big shelf across the back wall has been a fun place for me to decorate but it also provides some organization and storage for our prettier bathroom essentials.
No bathroom organization post can go without a vanity mention. This one took some modification to get it right for a bathroom but it provides a lot of storage space for us!
Beneath the vanity are two wicker baskets I picked up on sale at our local Ben Franklin store. They provide all the space we need for bath towels and extra toilet paper.
I think my favorite (and most recent) addition is the little basket I placed beneath the bath tub faucet. If you recognize that little basket – you’re totally right, it used to be above our kitchen sink!
But after I decided to replace the big barn wood shelf with two smaller shelves the basket was no longer necessary and sat in a closet unused for months. One day, for whatever reason, it dawned on me that it might be the perfect size to sit on the flat portion of the tub!
Confession: I ADORE my tub but I was constantly losing things behind it because I kept insisting on trying to use that flat space (meant for a different kind of faucet) for things like razors and soap.
I couldn’t believe it when I tried it out – IT WAS THE PERFECT FIT!
And it provided exactly what I needed for tub essentials without the risk of constantly dropping things behind the tub.
On our vanity the only thing we keep there is the little stand I made from thrift store items and our mason jar foaming soap dispenser. I love being able to keep our vanity uncluttered and that is totally due to the many little options we have for storage and organization throughout the whole room!
Still lots of things I’d like to do in here design-wise and, goodness knows, the whole space needs a new coat of paint etc but the organization alone has really helped me love this space a lot more just as it is!
Be sure to check out the rest of the small space and closet organization ideas from the other ladies at this month’s blog hop!
The basket from your kitchen looks like it was made for the tub. The shelf above the tub is so cute too. My bathroom doesn’t have a lot of storage either. These are some helpful tips. Thanks for hosting the hop!

Tarah,
I LOVE old house and their unique character, and your “old house” bathroom is so charming! I love the way you decorated it, too. So many lovely components.
Thanks for including me in your hop!
