Today I have a quick and easy tip for organizing the cavernous hole under the bathroom sink. Our guest bathroom tends to be a catch-all for crap under the sink, and with it being a huge hole, it doesn’t leave much room for organization. Here’s what it looked like before. Yikes.
I’m sorry for that. I’m sure you now need some eye bleach. I know, huge mess! Before I tackled the cabinet, I measured how wide the opening was and ran to Target for some type of drawer to hold everything. Here’s what I came home with.
When I got home I pulled everything out of the cabinet. Organizing is much easier if you empty the space fist and then only put back into the space the stuff you really need.
I quickly determined that none of this stuff even belonged under this guest bathroom cabinet:
Most was stuff that went upstairs in the kids’ bathroom or somewhere else entirely. Once I went through all the stuff, I put the new drawer inside the cabinet and hoped it would actually fit and I measured correctly.
Whew! It fits perfectly.
I loaded up the drawer to hold all the essentials that we need in this guest bath. Done. Simple and organized.
And here she is all organized and clean. I stack bath towels on top of the new drawer, but if you needed to you could buy a 2nd one and stack it on top.
The little 3-tiered purple organizer I bought a long time ago at the dollar store, in case you were wondering.
Thanks for reading! Have a wonderful weekend!
I actually use the plastic shoe boxes from the Dollar Store under my bathroom sink. I have labeled the ends of each box with the contents (like soap, toothpaste, and make-up items) and stack the bins on top of each other. It’s so much easier to keep track of these small items and to know when they’re running out, too.
This is brilliant! Thanks for sharing.
