Bathroom Storage

We felt like we needed some additional, accessible storage for our various bathroom accoutrements, to help us get ready in the morning. The storage that exists in the 26.5' Mid-Bath is someone awkwardly located, down by the side of the toilet.

So I performed just a little surgery on a very inexpensive shoe organizer from Wal-Mart (this was a 22 pocket overdoor organizer sold under the Mainstay brand). Basically, because the mid-bath door acts as a dressing room door, the lower left part closes up against the outside of the bathroom wall. So I needed to cut away two of the pockets, and since the bottom pockets are larger, I just folded that one back.

I fastened the organizer with small pan screws, right through the seams. There was no need to remove the towel racks on the door -- the organizer fits right over them.


Also, it was pure luck, but the door handle fit right between two rows of pockets. Here I just took apart the bathroom door handle, and cut three small holes to match the handle, and then reassembled it. Now the door handle also helps to hold the organizer secure.

When the door is closed, the pockets line up exactly with the internal bathroom door frame -- again, pure luck.

We love being able to see our stuff and have it within easy reach. Because each pocket is soft, it will move if you bump into it. We find we usually leave the bathroom door open (in the dressing room configuration) when we are getting ready in the morning, since the Mid-Bath's bathroom is so ... compact, shall we say.

Anyways, this works great for us, and we thought it might help someone else out looking for more easy storage solutions.
