Four and A Half Years in the Waiting!

It's true I have been waiting for something in my life to change since I got married and moved into my little tiny place! In little spaces organization is a HUGE thing. You want it to look neat and nice without looking cluttered or messy.... And that is how my bathroom has looked for 4 1/2 years.

My husband is the one who fixed up our small trailer before he moved in. He chose the colors, the curtains the flooring. I totally agree with everything he chose except when it comes to the bathroom. He chose a over the toilet organizer that was made from flimsy metal that had 3 shelves. I have hated them the whole time.

For months now the whole thing has been wobbly and when I go to clean around it I feel like it could collapse on me. Before I had Cedric in April I told Theral that we needed to get a real bathroom cabinet for the towels etc. I had been searching Pintrest for months trying to find a good fix that would be inexpensive but nothing I found suited my needs. We have 2 sets of towels plus the kids towels and miscellaneous white towels, just to have on hand. Nothing I found on Pintrest would work for all that, I really liked the basket idea of hanging it sideways to create a shelf but I felt like I had too much to put in and it might not all fit on the tiny wall. So I though that maybe we could find a nice cabinet that would fit everything and I could maybe close the doors to the mess I hated.


 Here is a before picture of what I had. 
Some of my black towels were in the washing machine
 so they are not pictured, 
but they usually go in the middle shelf.

My husband and I were in Walmart last Friday and I mentioned wanting the bathroom cabinet. He claimed he could find one I would like in the store so we went looking. There were some nice ones but the cabinet shelves were not deep enough to hold my towels. So we walked away, and once again I felt like I would never find what I wanted. I mentioned getting some baskets to hang and put towels in. When he saw the cube organizers we loved for our toy box. He had a brilliant idea to use that and hang it on the wall.

I told him YES! Okay something to solve my problem. It might not be the prettiest or the best looking but it was going to work and look so much better than what I had. So we spent the $35 on the shelf and brought it home. 

Tonight he came home from work earlier than he usually does so he got a chance to build the shelves after dinner with the boys. (They love helping him with his tools <3) And little me got to help him put it on the wall- I am not built for that kind of work! I could hardly hold up the shelves... time to go work out and build me some arm muscle!- And wa-la! We have a over the toilet cabinet! I got to organizing things and I love it so much! I am totally satisfied with how it turned out :)
