Bathroom closet

It's wonderful to have a little closet under the sink where you can hide stuff. Unfortunately it's usually so messy that I can't find anything from it. Although I have organized it before, it still felt a bit messy. So now I tried to organize better by making different zones for things.

Drinking glass is a great place to keep Q-tips

Hairdryer is something that I like to own, but I don't use it that often, so I don't want to store it in a visible place. And I think it's been quite hard to find a home for it. Just today I bought on sale this organizing thing for hairdryer. There is also storage for other things; I put there nail scissors, lip balms, dental floss etc.

Transparency is the key

When I reorganized the closet, I was able to put so much more stuff into it. Now I can see everything at once, so I can actually use them. I'm sick of doing the classic mistake: buying the stuff that I already have, because I don't remember that I have them already..

It might be that it still looks a bit messy, but now every item has its own place

Dirty laundry

Sometime it feels like everyday is a laundry day. We don't have a traditional Finnish type laundry-closet for different coloured dirty clothes. It would be nice, but we don't have it. We used to have "New York"-style trash-can that was used for dirty laundry. But I lost my patience with the constant organizing of dirty laundry by colour before you ditch them into the washing machine. Now the trash-can is used for recycling cans at the sauna, and I bought us new laundrybaskets.

We have three laundry-baskets. One for whites, one for blacks and one for colourful clothes. Now I save time, because I don't have to organize the dirty laundry before the washing but I can put it to the correct basket right away. There are holes in the lids, so with smaller laundry I don't even have to open the lid. I love simple little things that make your life a tiny bit easier.

I'm known in my family to take over any open space,  so it's quite a challenge for me to keep the surfaces empty. Luckily there are holes in the lids, so I can't put too much stuff on it.
