52 Weeks #4

I've been getting organized with Org Junkie's 52 WEEKS of Organizing! Head on over to add your organization stories and get inspired by others!
I have to make this one short but sweet because I am in crisis cleaning mode for a little get together we are having for my daughter's birthday party tomorrow! We are having 2 parties - one here tomorrow that will have more kids than the other. . . but also my parents and sister. Then we are having one at my SIL's because her daughter's birthday is Monday and we will celebrate both together with DH's family. :)
Anyway - this week I tackled my bathroom.
When we bought our house, it was perfect for a family of 3 or even 4. . . we had no idea that we were going to become a family of 6 as quickly as we did. (In all honesty, a family of 6 wasn't part of our plan at all - but here we are with 4 children). Even though the house seemed to have enough room for us when we bought it. . . I always hated my bathroom. I still hate my bathroom. There is next to no storage and it is UGLY!!! I did the best I could with what I had to work with. I will say ~ that the little organizing that I did do to make the bathroom look just a little more picked up has made me start to look into ways to brighten it up and add some color I actually like! Don't be surprised if you see some painting in my 52 Weeks once the weather warms up. :)
Before starting this project, I headed to the dollar store to see what kind of baskets they had. I was mainly looking for one to corral all of the cleaning supplies. I picked up that one and the one with the TP in it. I also snagged the green ones that have cotton swabs and toothpaste stored in them. :)
The little 4 bottled thing was an old desk organizer that I had hanging around - decided that I would try sticking our flossers and nail clippers in them so that they always have a place to go and aren't getting lost or falling all over the place!
Have a great week!
