1. Keep toothbrushes separate in a shared drawer with a silverware drawer organizer.
Cute vinyl personalization optional! From The Creative Homemaker, who found the tray at a local secondhand store.
2. Set up shower caddies under your sink to serve as narrow shelves.
You can look for ones with a flat bottom that sit nicely, or if yours don't, just hang them from the side of the cabinet with removable adhesive hooks. Read more on Pretty Organized.
3. And mount baskets on the inside of your cabinet doors to take advantage of all your available space.
Again, using removable adhesive hooks. If you try this along with the shower caddy idea, position the baskets on your doors so that you can actually get those doors closed. Read more on Polished Habitat.

4. Store bath toys in a mesh laundry bag, which you can hang to dry on a hook or on your shower knob.
Make a game of putting them away — catch all the toys in the net at the end of bath time. Read more on Two Twenty One.
5. Stop letting your straightener's cord take up more than its fair share of drawer space — slip it inside an empty toilet paper roll.
Simple and genius, and you can use it on your curling iron and blow dryer, too. Read more on I Heart Organizing.
6. Put a piece of sheet metal in a picture frame so your makeup's always in reach.
Get the how-to on Nifty.
7. And sort through your cabinets to toss any beauty products that are past their prime.
If you haven't done this recently (or ever), it takes some time but it's definitely worth it!
