IKEA: First 59 Tips to Keep Your Bathroom Organized

by Camille Walker

I shared with you on IKEA and the first 59 challenge that was given to me! I had so much fun looking at all of the IKEA organizing possibilities and I found solutions that have already made a big difference to my routine. From talking to a lot of my friends I have been told in the past that they can be overwhelmed by the vast amount of possibilities available and that is why I would suggest this to you: START online. Did you know you can make a shopping list from IKEA’s website that you can print out and bring with you? That way if you want to skip “the tour” and get down to business you can take that list to an IKEA associate and they can help you find exactly what you’re looking for fast.

Because I had already checked out the First 59 items online I knew exactly what I was looking for. The whole goal of the First 59 initiative is to make the first hour of our day run more smoothly. My two goals were for laying out an outfit the night before with the kids and being more organized so I could actually find the things that I use on a daily basis.

My List:

Organization dividers for my bathroom

Hooks that could go in the kids rooms that wouldn’t be in the way

This is what I came up with:

For my Face products and make up:

I was pleasantly surprised with how much space was able to be used in my drawers because this divider is made to maximize a deep space. I can actually find those tubes of lip gloss and eye shadow I thought I had lost a long time ago! I also like that it keeps all of my “face stuff” in one place for putting make up on and taking make up off.

For my every day face and teeth:

This top drawer was the one that needed the biggest overhaul as it had tons of random things in it before. I don’t wear a lot of make up on a day to day basis so it was nice to make room for my husband to keep things in the top drawer as well. He asked if he got a whole drawer…which the answer was no….but he has a lot more space than he once did! 🙂

I especially like the fact that I can get to the items quick and see where everything is at a glance.
