10 BATHROOM ORGANIZING TIPS OF THE DAY

<br /><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="color: purple;">1. Not so many bathrooms have enough space to hang towels.  Stacking towel bars behind  closed doors is a great way to use the small space in your bathroom efficiently.  </span></span></span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.marthastewart.com/sites/files/marthastewart.com/images/content/web/goodthings/gt04janmsl_towelbars_xl.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://www.marthastewart.com/sites/files/marthastewart.com/images/content/web/goodthings/gt04janmsl_towelbars_xl.jpg" width="320" /> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">2. Com<span style="font-size: small;">bs,</span></span></span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> brushes, and toothpaste take up considerable space when laid  horizontally on a  shelf. Flat-backed, self-adhesive cups on the inside  of the cabinet door hold them more efficiently. Before pressing the cups  in place, line them up between the shelves. To ensure the door can  close, put thin items on the shelves in the spots where the cups will  take up some space.</span></span></span><span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> </span></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.marthastewart.com/sites/files/marthastewart.com/images/content/web/features/feature3/ft_gtorganizing05_xl.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://www.marthastewart.com/sites/files/marthastewart.com/images/content/web/features/feature3/ft_gtorganizing05_xl.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="color: purple;"> 3. </span></span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Clear off bathroom countertops by storing toiletries in a hanging  organizer.

Bathroom drawers are second only to junk drawers in their potential for  messiness. It's too easy to toss grooming products in there pell-mell.  Wooden boxes and trays help categorize the items and are available in  various sizes and materials, so they can be mixed and matched to fit any  sort of drawer.</span></span></span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.marthastewart.com/sites/files/marthastewart.com/images/content/pub/ms_living/2007Q2/mla102867_0407_divide_xl.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://www.marthastewart.com/sites/files/marthastewart.com/images/content/pub/ms_living/2007Q2/mla102867_0407_divide_xl.jpg" width="320" /> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> </span></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">7.  For a guest bathroom, mount a streamlined hair-dryer unit to the wall beside the sink. </span></span></span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.marthastewart.com/sites/files/marthastewart.com/images/content/pub/ms_living/2007Q2/mal102867_0407_dryer_xl.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://www.marthastewart.com/sites/files/marthastewart.com/images/content/pub/ms_living/2007Q2/mal102867_0407_dryer_xl.jpg" width="320" /> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">8.  Vintage planters are a playful spin on more traditional bathroom  accessories. Displayed on a metal-and-glass table, they hold bottles of  shampoo and liquid soap, sponges, bar soap, and hand towels. Tuck a new  toothbrush, soap, and a washcloth into a planter and put it in the  bathroom cupboard.</span></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.marthastewart.com/sites/files/marthastewart.com/images/content/pub/ms_living/2001Q2/a98678_0501_planter_ht2_xl.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://www.marthastewart.com/sites/files/marthastewart.com/images/content/pub/ms_living/2001Q2/a98678_0501_planter_ht2_xl.jpg" width="320" /> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">9.  <span style="font-size: small;">Place</span> spare rolls of toilet paper in a clear glass vase; it will be easier for you to know when you need to refill the them.</span></span></span></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.marthastewart.com/sites/files/marthastewart.com/images/content/pub/special_issues/2004/a100613_gt04_toilettissueho_xl.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://www.marthastewart.com/sites/files/marthastewart.com/images/content/pub/special_issues/2004/a100613_gt04_toilettissueho_xl.jpg" width="320" /> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">10.  A wooden flea-market cupboard makes a great towel cabinet. Use the top  of the cabinet for extra storage. Keep your regular supply in the  glass-fronted cabinet. Having all towels visible makes it easy to keep  track of your inventory. Open shelves on the sides hold glass jars full  of cotton balls and soaps.</span></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.marthastewart.com/sites/files/marthastewart.com/imagecache/img_360x450/images/content/pub/special_issues/2004/a93246_gt04_privatespaces_hd.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://www.marthastewart.com/sites/files/marthastewart.com/imagecache/img_360x450/images/content/pub/special_issues/2004/a93246_gt04_privatespaces_hd.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><br /><br />
