If you are at all faint of heart, I’m going to suggest that you look away now. I’m about to show you the scariest thing I’ve ever shared on this blog….unedited pictures of my bathroom.
THE HORROR!
I have the worldest smallest bathroom that in recent years has been overrun by bath toys, potty chairs, a stool and other clutter that was starting to drive me batty. So I headed out in search of a few cheap and easy storage solutions that would make the bathroom a little more liveable.
First, I grab a 2-pack of hooks from IKEA. I placed these at the far end of the tub (opposite the shower) for hanging wet towels on. No more towels draped over every surface in the bathroom.
Next, I needed a way to tackle the bath toys. I mounted a shower bar along the back of the shower to hold these great baskets I found at Fred Meyer ($1.50/each). The baskets are have wide openings so all the water drains out and the toys aren’t sitting in stale, yucky water. I used open shower curtain hooks to hang the baskets from the bar, which makes it easy to take them down at bathtime. I also added an extra hook for my sponge.
Lastly, I got a over the door hook from the dollar store and hooked it over the cupboard handle to hold my son’s potty seat.
All told, I probably spent about $15 on these easy solutions. Now I feel like everything in the bathroom has a place and most of the time, things even end up where they are suppose to.
What other tips do you have for dealing with a tiny bathroom?

Seems simple enough. I miss IKEA. I haven’t been there in few years

Great job. I have a walk in shower and sometimes think about getting those shower carriers like we had in college.

Trust me that is NOT the smallest bathroom! Mine is smaller (sink but no counter) and the place I lived before, the bathroom was so small there was no sink at all. You could barely turn around to sit on the toilet!
That said, thanks for the simple solutions. I need to do something in my bathroom. I do suggest an over the back of the toilet shelf unit, we use that for folded towels.

Very smart solutions! I wish we lived near an IKEA. They have so many wonderful organization tools!
