Several years ago we opted to purchase an older home and even though it’s large on square footage space, it lacks a LOT in storage space. What makes things even is worse is that 2 out of 3 of our bathrooms are about the size of a large walk-in closet. Yes, those 2 bathrooms are pretty small.

A few weeks ago I decided to remodel and update the one bathroom which is officially a 3/4 bathroom with a toilet, pedestal sink and a walk-in shower. There were no cabinets or under-the-sink vanity, so I was always running to the linen closet or to one of our other bathrooms to retrieve things.
After giving the bathroom a good overall cleaning, I got busy solving some of my storage solutions. I needed a place to store my bath, body and beauty items, a place to store our toilet paper rolls and I needed a new (but compact) medicine cabinet. By updating all of those things, I could get the storage space that I desperately needed.
I went over to Amazon and purchased the Zenna Home Cottage Collection White Wall Cabinet which is perfect for a small bathroom. It measures 19.19″ wide by 25.63″ high by 5.75″ deep. It has two doors that open up to reveal a big storage compartment inside. As you can see from my photo…you can store large cans of hairspray, shower gels, bubble bath, skincare bottles, etc. inside it. I can fit quite a bit in there which makes me happy!
From the Flea Market last weekend I purchased a slender wooden table with 2 shelves and painted it white. It’s about 2 foot tall. I picked up a white wicker basket at a local store and now all of my cosmetics sit inside the basket and on the stand. As you can see, I don’t have “sink space” to set my items on.
I have this right beside the pedestal sink, so I can stand there and put my make-up on. On the bottom shelf I can store additional bottles of items that we need to grab quickly. I’m so glad that I was able to find such a tall, but slender wooden table…just for this purpose.
I needed something to store all of our extra toilet paper rolls in and I found the Free Standing White Toilet Paper Bathroom Cabinet Holder over on Amazon. It’s a tall and slender cabinet that fits perfectly between our toilet and the wall (sits in a corner). I’m able to store our extra toilet paper in the cabinet and one box of facial tissues in the top. Perfect solution for any size bathroom!
For the medicine cabinet I went with something simple and clean. I selected a White Single Door Medicine Cabinet with a door mounted mirror. Inside the cabinet are 2 shelves where I can store my nail polishes, nail polish remover, tooth brushing essentials, a few medications, etc. I really like the “clean” look to the cabinet and it goes with everything else perfectly!
As you can see…I went with white colored storage options since I decorate in the Coastal Cottage style. I accented all of the items with various beach items, seashells, etc. to pull my entire decor theme together. I now have some new places to store the bathroom necessities that we need.
