Bathroom: As good as finished (about time!)

I'm going to re-post the old pictures of the bathroom before each new one to refresh you memories (it's been awhile!)...                        
Remember the shower? How cluttered it was with bottles of shampoo and body wash?
Introducing....the shower caddy! I bought this at Walmart for $12.00. The suction cups came with it, they keep the caddy from sliding back and forth when removing bottles of shampoo. Plenty of room for our shower items, and we each have a hook for our "poofs". No more clutter and mess, or knocking bottles off the shelves and tripping on them! You might notice, I placed the caddy on the opposite side of the shower from the shower head. Alejandra does this also, to avoid excess splashing. I did it more out of necessity because we also have a removable shower head which would create too much clutter for easy use.
I bought this hook for less than $1.00 and Darling screwed it in for me. It is rugged enough to hold the caddy with no wobbling.
This is the uncluttered shower...(and soap scum lol I need to scrub my shower!)

The sink, and shelf cluttered and in disarray. Mess like this clutters my mind and stresses me out.
*Sigh*, that's better.
Underneath the sink was a disaster! It was hard to find anything, and there was stuff in there I didn't even need, or knew I had.
I bought four containers with nice, clicking lids at Walmart for .97 cents each! I broke the items up in 5 categories:
      1 Nail Care
2 Travel 
3 Refills 
   4 Medical
          5 Feminine care    
 The pink bag is all my make up, about 2/3rds full.
 I took a screw and screwed it in far enough for it to hold my flat iron, but not poke through the cabinet door. Now it is coiled up and out of the way. I don't have to shuffle it around in the cabinet to find what I want. Everything is neat, and in view, nothing is buried.
I couldn't find an old picture of in behind the mirror, but this is what it looks like now that I've organized it.
 I kept the Ibuprofen out because that is most likely to be used than the other medical supplies and is in easy access on the top shelf. The other items are my make up remover, facial soap and lotion, and deodorant.
 The bottom shelf is Darling's things, shaving cream, after shave, etc.
 This is a little container is magnetic, I got it in the school supplies section for lockers. I keep the q-tips in it, again, out of the way, yet easy to get at.
The towel cabinet was quite cluttered as well, I wish I had a picture of it, but now everything is neat...
 A close up. I went through all the items in the bathroom and found several that went in the trash, and some in the "give away" pile.
 A look at all my hair products, perfumes and I have two hair brushes.
A look at it before painting...
And after...



Ta-Da! That's all folks! Hope you enjoyed this, and maybe got some ideas or inspiration!
