Sharing Shadymont, My Mountain Cottage

Our home at the lake has less than 1100 square feet.  In it, we use furniture that we have from combining 3 households in 2005, when we were married. On our recent trip there, we decided to neaten and organize the bathrooms.  The master previously had a tall tower that held the towels, and was crammed with them, and always looked messy. Our answer to organize this space was to purchase the space savers that were popular a number of years ago.  They have some really nice ones, so we bought two, one for the master bath, and one for the guest bath.   MASTER Bath: This one is in brushed nickel, and certainly neatened up this room.  It holds plenty of towels, hand towels, and bath cloths, and even has room for a "pretty or two".  The towels not placed on the space saver were stored on a high closet shelf.  I rearranged the closet and made room for the old towel tower, and it now holds extra paper towels and tissue.  (We tend to hoard pap...

Getting there.  I can actually see my sewing machine now! Similar items are sorted and placed together. Still not what I had envisioned though! I know, I need labels!! Not fancy, but so much better!!  Labels were printed on regular paper and attached to containers with tape. Blue container is a recycled Wet Swiffer Refill box.  They are great for coralling it...
