I store my soap dispenser, bathroom cup, and toilet plunger on clay plant pot bottoms. They contain the drips and the water evaporates fast. To clean, I use soap and water and rinse with vinegar or rubbing alcohol to sanitize.
I love shower caddies. They are convenient and hook over the shower faucet just perfectly. Except when they don't. That was the case today when I went to hang mine. The faucet was so far forward that the caddy wouldn't stay put.
Christmas cheese and wine hampers are often presented in high quality wooden boxes. I recently took one which has slots for two bottles of wine and two pieces of cheese above them, stood it on end, and used it for toiletry storage in the bathroom.
Recently, I moved into a home where there was a perfect space in front of a window, but I didn't have the ability to use brackets. I went to a thrift shop and got 4 cups, all the same height. I used them for shelf supports.
To free up some counter space in the bathroom, I purchased a shower caddy and placed it on the mirror. The suction cups hold it on tight and it has worked great for me.
I clip my hair clips to the towel rack in my bathroom. They fit perfectly!
We are redoing our bathroom and I saw a great idea on TV. They used concrete forms and cut them to desired thickness and placed them on the wall. Then they put face clothes, etc. in them.
The problem: the concrete forms I found were reasonable, but about 3 times as much as I need. Any other suggestions for round/cylinder shapes? The only other idea I have is a baby formula can (cardboard) that I can cut to size.

Try PVC pipe. It comes in all sizes, cuts easily, is lightweight and inexpensive. Look online www.houzz.com/
I had a lone Dollar Tree hook over the bathroom door facing inside. It was for my robes, but was pretty high up. A friend gave me one she didn't need anymore and boy, has it made life easier.
With regards to children and their washroom habits, I have found from time and motherhood that children and youths have some main things each of them need and it is a little different for each person.
I love those wire basket shelves that adjust over the tub. I finally found one, but then realized that the oval shape of my tub made it not fit.
I need storage ideas for my too deep drawers! My bathroom is incredibly disorganized! It's tiny to begin with, but on top of that, I only have 3 drawers (2 of which are pointlessly deep) and a small under cabinet space. My two biggest problems are organizing my hair stuff (tons of bottles that can't stand up in the drawers) and storing my stockpiled items. Any ideas?

Hello Jennie, I feel your pain as my bathroom is tiny, too, but at least you have the vanity with drawers and under sink storage. The vanity is still on my wish list and other stuff is currently in boxes and bins on shelves. :-) I do have a couple of suggestions, regardless.
For hair stuff, get a two gallon sized galvanized bucket to keep under the sink to store all of your excess hair stuff in (including blow dryers and curling irons if you use them.) I use the galvanized ones simply because they match the decor better and don't look as cheesy as the plastic ones should I get rushed and leave it out. Put a dollar store washcloth in the bottom to help sop up the drips and for easy cleanup every couple of weeks.
As far as the deep drawers go, you can't beat a kitchen flatware or utility divided bin that can be pushed toward the back, but easily pulled out to fully examine the contents. (Take good measurements and buy them cheaply at the dollar or discount store.)
Not sure what all you want to store in the drawers but if you are considering OTC items (aspirin, tums, first aid stuff, etc.) consider keeping those items in a plastic bin under the sink.
Clean towels can be rolled or folded and placed decoratively on open shelves or within wall cabinets if you have them. I also use wall hooks versus towel rods to keep bath towels clean enough for a few days reuse. The hooks take up less wall space than the rods and if the hooks are at least 3 to 4 inches deep, staggered and at least 5 to 6 inches apart at the base, the towels still dry out well.
Hope this is of some help for you. Good luck!
Buy some plastic baskets at a dollar store and stack them up in the deep drawers.
