linen closet in bathroom? How wide?
Comments (16)How wide is enough? My linen closet is only 24" wide. It's enough. I have a hamper on the bottom, two towels in the middle for towels, and a shelf on top for extra blankets. I would like to have more space, but this is enough. My favorite thing: The hamper is hidden away. Now, as for style, I love your picture. It's so much prettier than my plain door. I do have a couple thoughts: - Since you have 10' ceilngs, I'd go with a solid door at the top. This'd allow you to hide blankets, pillows, whatever. - I do like the opaque glass. I'm not always neat. - I don't think you need drywall on the side . . . in fact, why does your picture show a FULL WALL between the vanity and the cabinet? Why couldn't they save space by simply putting the cabinet against the sink? Those are questions for the cabinet maker.

Comments (16)I am now going through the process of painting my doorknobs from brass to antique bronze. They are turning out beautifully! It will certainly buy me time before needing to replace especially on those doors that are not opened and closed as much. My two very used powder rooms were done about 3 weeks ago and they are holding up great! I am so thrilled with the turnout. And for $7 and a very little work, it makes a huge difference. This is one of those great therapy projects, big return on the little investment! So I would say, start spraying and see how you like it!...See MoreBathroom Stuff
Comments (26)Here is how my bath/med stuff is organized: We have a cabinet in laundry room which is where any medicinal supplies is kept. I bought 4 12qt plastic boxes and labeled them "Kid's Meds" "Skin Meds" (peroxide, alchohol etc) "Pain Meds" "Cold Meds" we don't have much medicine but so those cover everything, they stack nicely in the closet and are easier to find but also easy enough for my husband and kids to keep organized. There are several large items (braces, heating pads, etc) that I just placed in a larger clear tote in the bottom of the closet "Misc Medical". In the Bathroom I keep acrylic drawers & shallow baskets under the sink to organize makeup, lotions, everyday bath items. The key to bathroom organization with small storage space is to just keep what you need on a daily/weekly basis. I have two 20 qt clear plastic totes that we keep the extra razors, soap, shamp/cond, q-tips etc. Those go in the bottom of the closet (which is also in the bathroom). TP, toilet supplies all go in a cabinet over the toilet. if you have a lot of small items consider adding magnets to the back and placing galvanized (magnetic) metal on the inside doors, or sides of cabinet. I saw a friend do this for her makeup, reach in grab then stick back to the metal and close door, very handy for morning rush when drawers and baskets are just too much hassle. I've learned to keep vitamins where we'll remember to take them so the kid's vitamins are in the vanity next to their toothbrushes, but adult vitamins are in our nightstands since that is the only way we seem to remember them. Curling irons, hair dryers, brushes, etc are stored in the vanity drawers...that seems to be easier than placing those large items underneath the sink. However if you don't have drawers they sell wonderful holders that attach to the inside of the doors. Adding a flip out drawer on the vanity panel in front of the sink that usually is unusable is a great toothbrush storage space. Hope this helps! The most important thing I figured out was don't be afraid to store extras somewhere outside of the bathroom to save space, long as you place them in a container together with a label it'll stay organized and easy to access later. Back in our old house there was only a pedestal sink no storage, a large cabinet over the toilet was a life saver, as was using the linen closet (if you have one nearby). Never forget the valuable "hidden" storage you can create between wall studs with minor carpentery skills :) Or a shelf over the bathroom door, then place baskets for storing items not frequently used....See MoreMaster bath - just not sure about this design?
Comments (17)I personally think your last layout looks good. I would probably turn the small cabinet by the door so that it faced the vanity. Your shower seems nice in the corner at 48 X 48 inches. I would enclose it with glass next to the tub and use a door on the angle. The reason I like the layout with the toilet and shower in a separated room is that this looks like a shared bathroom by more than two people. With the separation, one could use the sink while someone else is showering or using the toilet....See Moredianne47
