How to Complete a Master Bath Organize
INSIDE : SEE HOW TO COMPLETE A MASTER BATH ORGANIZE OVERALL.
Today I will tackle my master bathroom….do any of you need help with this? It’s one of those areas that gets forgotten about…but really organizing it can make you feel like a put-together adult!
When we built this house, one of our “MUST” haves was DUAL sinks. When we saw the model and this bathroom…..SOLD!!!! It works well for us to have completely separate areas! He takes care of his and I sort of take care of mine.
Current situation:

In my area, I have 2 Scentsy warmers, bath bombs (that are not even mine), storage containers just waiting to be used, and drawers that have no rhyme or reason. It is CLEAR that we need a master bath organize session.
As always, start here:
Purge
First rule of Fight Club….I mean organization?!? PURGE!!!!!
Ok – drawer by drawer we go.
Pull everything out of the drawers and make use of the things you find.
Take samples sizes, hotel size, and “I’ll never use this” gifts and put them into a plastic bag. This can include lotions, soaps, toothpaste, and tooth brushes (you know the one your dentist HAS to give you but they don’t clean teeth!!) and take them to the homeless shelter!
Those folks will love getting these things. It doesn’t matter if you only have 2 of each….that means 2 people will have clean teeth and clean hair for tomorrow!
Clean
Once everything is out of the cabinets and drawers, wipe down the inside with Mrs. Meyers.
It is important to wipe the handles and the outsides of our cabinets, DO NOT FORGET.
Organize
Always keep like things together – hand soaps together, lotions, hair stuff….you get the idea.
For my master bath organize – I started with the drawers.
I had some containers but clearly, I needed more.
Supplies:
Next drawer is my “someday I will lose weight and need to get rid of my stretch marks” drawer. I had a friend that sold this stuff and so I bought a ton to support her and then realized that there was no point in removing stretch marks if I was going to get more….After I’m done with school I will have time for a work out….I promise!
I also keep any extra items here that I need to replace frequently, like razors, after shave gel, and replacement toothbrush heads.
Moving to the other side of the sink. Rethinking the handiness of the drawers was a way to keep me organized. Place the most used things closest to me…or in the top drawers. And so on…….
Next we move the the under the sink area. This was the largest purge area for me so I had to make sure it stayed free of clutter. I need to know what I have and do not buy duplicates! In the before picture, you saw a drawer system that I hadn’t started using yet…..
So here is what I did:
Overall, it was quite an improvement to my bathroom organization.
I even did a quick clean up of the linen closet.
Before:
Using the same techniques used in the girls/guest linen closet, I made our linen closet in the master bath more presentable…even though no one else sees it!
After:
Now the befores and afters side by side:
Left side is the new verison – right side is the older, more messy verison
I know I am missing a HUGE part of a woman’s bathroom….makeup. Yes I wear it, a little bit but….I do wear it. So where do I keep mine?
Using my Glamour Case from Thirty One, I store all my makeup on my countertop without the clutter.
I keep a few other things on the countertop because it seems like the thing to do. I keep my rings corralled in my Thirty One Keepsake Tray.
Now…..shelving and wall art for my spa master…..I think I will never feel like I’m done with my house. I guess that is ok!!!!
Happy Organizing,
