Bathroom Spring Cleaning #eastersmiles #cbias

I have been all about spring cleaning this year.  Some years I skip it all together, sometimes I do it halfway, but this year...it has been on!  I have already shared some of my triumphs with y'all.  After Easter, I decided to tackle another project.  The bathroom is my latest victim.  How about some before and after magic?  Okay it was not magic WHILE I was doing it but it is magic now.

Let's start from the beginning of the process.  The clean out.  I threw away a variety of expired, old, and just plain icky stuff....

I then measured my cabinet.  I had a rough idea of how I wanted the finished product to look.  But without taking these measurements to the store, I was sure to buy something that was too large.

I then made a rough list.  Yes rough.  I know I needed to organize but I had no idea how I was going to get there.  A rough plan is fine at this stage.  Once we start shopping we will see it all come together.  You will notice I jotted down a few bathroom items I needed as well.  My son loves his Spongebob Squarepants and I noticed we needed some supplies while cleaning out.  Colgate makes a line of Nickelodeon themed kid's oral care products including our beloved Spongebob and Dora the Explorer.

Off to Walmart I went to stalk the aisles.  This is where that rough plan comes in.  I stalked various organizational items until I found what would work in my space.  Yes I hit up the bathroom organizing area....

But there was nothing there that I felt would work.  I ended up with what is actually a product for organizing your KITCHEN cabinets....

Guess what?  It worked great in my bathroom!  Want the full low down of my shopping trip hits and misses?  I made an album on google plus all about it....head on over to see all of the areas in Walmart I stalked.  While I was at Walmart, I found a huge display with the kids' beloved Colgate products on it.....

So yes two toothbrushes and two toothpastes came home with me....to a happy face....

But enough happy faces, back to spring cleaning.  I started by trying my finds in the cabinet.

Seriously a perfect fit.  I could not have custom built something this good!  I was getting excited.

The wash cloths and hand towels all fit under my shelves perfectly.  Then I stacked my towels on top...

This is amazing.  Why did I not do this before??  No more mixed wash cloths and towels.  No more digging through a huge pile.  I am in love already!

A couple more organized and cleaned shelves.  Don't you just love the feeling after spring cleaning is complete?

I will leave you with a picture of my full cabinet after my spring cleaning fun...

    How great, Angie. But I am SO not ready for spring cleaning, ha ha. Ok, you've inspired me now . . . for ONE area :) Thanks for taking me along :)

    Looking good. I am obsessed with organizational stuff. My husband jokes I need an organization system for my organization systems.

    Omg, Angie, I need to do this too! Our bathroom has a closet where we keep all our stuff, and it's screaming at me to come organize it now! And my family just switched to using Colgate Optic White. I love how clean my teeth feel after using it.

    I so need to do this, in all kinds of different closets. What a great idea!

    Good for you! I seriously need to do that around here!

    Beautifully done! You've made me feel motivated and encouraged to take on my own bathroom cabinet (which looks very similar to in size and content to your "before" shot).

    That looks great! It's making me nervous though. I have to get my room clean first! Hahaha!

    Great job, Angie! I could really use some of those shelves under our sink.

    Very tidy! I can think of at least THREE closest that would benefit from these! : )

    Your before picture looks like my closets! I need to go and do this too!

    I can so related to the bathroom towels getting all mixed up. Thanks for a great solution!

    Want to come organize MY bathroom?? You did a great job!
