I think you should demo it and start a new project! : )

Question. If you try a lot of products, they can multiply. But at any one point in time, how many products are your using? I'm thinking you could get it down to four: shampoo and conditioner for you, body wash for both, and a shampoo w/ cond'r for DH. I would edit what you have down to 4 items and just put them on the shower floor.

If it helps any, this is the one I want. Not that I have it, but I think it'd be pretty cool. I really liked this at a hotel I stayed at. So long ago, I have no idea where.

I got this one through Amazon -http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/product/aviva-3-bottle-chrome-shower-dispenser/1012951590?skuId=12951590&mcid=PS_googlepla_nonbrand_bath_&adpos=1o2&creative=43742627629&device=c&matchtype=&network=g&gclid=CMqRut7-uMkCFc9gfgod4TYFVA

In our previous home, we had an organizer similar to the one in your picture that we just replaced every two to three years when it got to be nasty looking. We never paid more than $35 for one though. Looks like that's about what they're going for on Amazon now.

We have a mesh hanging caddy that we used Command Bath Hooks to hang on the shower wall with. Our shower/tub is a fiberglass or acrylic one piece. The hooks are supposed to work on tile too though. I love this because I can take it off the hooks easily and throw it in the washer. It is easy to clean behind too. I have it towards the back of the tub so it doesn't get too much water on or behind it.http://www.amazon.com/InterDesign-Storage-Hanging-Shower-Caddy/dp/B00IPBNTEA

Here are the command hooks: http://www.amazon.com/Command-Designer-Plastic-Water-Resistant-4-Strip/dp/B000FCES6K/ref=sr_1_1?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1448916339&sr=1-1&keywords=command+bathroom+hooks

After reading "The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up" this past summer, I decided to try the author's advice of storing our shower necessities outside of the shower. Previously, I had been keeping my shower things in an over-the-shower organizer that was so old the white coating was wearing off and showing rust, and my husband and 8-year-old daughter (who prefers sharing a bathroom with us over sharing with her brother) were leaving their things on the built-in bench on my husband's side of the dual shower.

We designated space toward the front of a built-in floor to ceiling cabinet (across from our shower), and each of us now has a section for our shampoos, conditioners, and soaps. Now we each take in only what we need when we shower, and when we're done we let it drain briefly on the bath mat while we dry off, then put it back in the cabinet. No more having to move things around when we clean the shower, so our shower is SO much cleaner and clearer than it ever used to be. The only things I leave in the shower are my scrubby and razor, which are hung on high suction hooks (above the shower nozzle) where the tile doesn't get wet. With 3 people using that bathroom, we have too many awkward sized/shaped shower essentials to ever fit neatly into a single "nook" or organizer, so I'm glad I tried storing them outside the shower before investing in another in-shower storage solution. I highly recommend trying it and seeing if it works for you! I was hesitant at first, thinking it would be a pain in the butt to move things back and forth, but as it turns out it's no hassle at all.

We alternate between spraying the shower with a homemade water/vinegar/essential oil spray and running the shower squeegee over everything, both of which are so much easier to do without having to move a bunch of bottles and such. Without all of the clutter in there it looks so clean that it motivates me to keep it that way :)

East -- I could NEVER get DH on board with that. Part of the problem is that we don't have much storage in the bathroom at all. No closet, just a vanity.

I also bought that book over the summer but I haven't really started it. I think I'm afraid. ;)

Mtn, you are funny. Can't put stuff on the shower floor without tripping over it. It's not a big roomy shower. It's a regular old tub. With a shower curtain. Very pedestrian, no bells and whistles and definitely no extra floor space!

So. About the volume of stuff. I have everyday shampoo and conditioner. DH has his own shampoo. Then we have two body soap bottles. A facial cleanser. A facial exfoliator/scrub. A razor. Oh, and a deep conditioner thing for hair that I only use once in a while. I am not high maintenance but I guess my tub looks like I am.

I have seen those wall mount things too. I see a review on the Amazon one that it's turning green from their soap or conditioner. Ick. Maybe not my solution.

I didn't know Command made water resistant hooks! That might be an idea.

This is the same one I have -- description says "rust proof." I don't think so!

What about a caddy over your shower head? That's what we used in a former home.

Some ideas:

You know you want to demo it. It can be an early birthday present. Or an extension on your last birthday. It has been weeks since I have heard of any sort of birthday acknowledgement for you at all.

We have this in our shower for my husband. My 4 bottles use up the niche. Works well except that I now make him buy products that match the accent tile:)

Haha Mt! Yea Sue, we'll even sing happy birthday! All I personally keep in our shower/tub is soap (beauty bar) or body wash, whichever I'm using at the time. Hubby keeps a bottle of shampoo/conditioner combo and his soap. There's a deep back corner where stuff will sit and a little shelf thing (very small) that's good for soap. We have a large double vanity with cabinets and drawers and we like stuff stored in there. I leave my razor in there until I'm going to use. I don't use facial cleansers and rarely shampoo or conditioners as most of the time I prefer a bath. Poufs (scrubbies?) and a body brush hang.

I have the 3 sectioned dispenser as shown above for shampoo, conditioner and body wash...I have the white mesh thingy I hang with my shower curtain...I keep razor, toothbrush, face wash and power face brush and I have an other the shower head organizer for a few item.

When we had this place built, I had two large-ish niches built into the shower walls for them. I actually just had that very same corner unit, Sue, sent to DD for the bathroom that she shares with two of her housemates. They like it a lot so far. What they had before, and I thought it was a great idea, was a tension-type shower curtain rod mounted on the long wall of their shower with sturdy plastic slated baskets hung all along it. It was so cute and practical , and worked great . . . until the girls started overloading it. But then again, I should have expected that from 3 college girls (LOL)!

We have a couple built-in shelves, but I also use a couple chrome and plastic baskets that attach to the wall with suction cups.

We has the Simple Human tension-fit system it held up really well, no rust. If you buy from BB&B they will let you return at any point if any of these rust. Now we have a molded shower surround with niches so we don't need this type. I gave mine away when we moved! It was expensive but stayed looking new for years and I loved the spaces to hold bottles upside down when they were running out.

I've also had the wall mount dispensers in past homes, but I am hesitant to mount them on our molded shower surround, and when I change product (I like to try out different stuff) it's annoying.

I have a 6 pocket mesh shower bag similar to the one shared above, except it has a coated wire hanger that can be hung on the shower head or on the shower curtain rod. I think it was all of $2.00 at Dollar General, and it has held up remarkably well. I like it much better than the metal wire racks I used to use that hung over the shower head. The comment the one reviewer made about the fabric getting moldy doesn't entirely make sense to me. It's fabric. It can be put through the wash with some bleach. No biggie. : )

I put a towel bar on the back wall and hung wicket baskets in mine, similar to this:

DH put two lovely niche's in the upstairs when he re-did the bath/shower. Downstairs I am not sure what he will do..I suggested the pole with wire shelves..he likes "my" niches but isn't sure if he is up to the extra tile cutting.

We have a stainless suction basket, works well but only holds 1 shampoo, 1 conditioner, razor and sponge. Would a tub caddy work for the end of your tub?

eastautumn, would you share your recipe for the water/vinegar/essential oil spray? You use that to keep the shower clean?

I used to keep all my products in the shower until they started taking too much time to clear out when I needed to clean. I had a hanging holder but it was full. Plus, a few times I knocked all the bottles over like dominoes. I put up a shelf right outside the shower. The bottles that I might not use that day are on there. If I change my mind I open the door and reach around.

We have a dispenser and it's the best thing we've ever done. Though one of the refillable bottles must have a very small hole in it, but fast draining hole none the less, because twice I've filled up the body soap and twice the next day when I got in the shower there was no soap. The first time I figured I just thought I filled it, so the second time I had hubby watch me. I gave up and need to check it closer and see if I can replace the refillable bottle.

This rests at the far end of my smallish tub. I have been using it for a couple of years and it's perfect. Holds shampoo, bath gel, pumice, etc. When it starts to look dingy, I run it through the dishwasher.

Can't get the picture to post, but its just a simple plastic adjustable toy holder that fits across the tub wherever you need it. Google "bathtub toy holders".

I have the wall mounted dispenser that has 4 dispensers and a shelf on top 4 Dispensers. I attached Command hooks on each side to hang things (bath brush, washcloth, etc.). For the razor I have a Command Razor Holder with a suction cup that I attach to the shower door.

My carpenter added the towel bar and the corner polished nickel caddy AFTER he installed the tile. He knew how to drill into the tile and what screws and such to use to secure it. Regular tub (1939 refinished alcove tub) where he tore out the old tile and installed new subway tile.

Was your pole by any chance made by Moen? I have a curved shower rod by Moen and it has rusted. In fact, two of them have rusted. The first time I thought it was because I was using metal curtain hoks, but the replacement is just as bad. Think I'll go for plastic the next time. BTW, I had a niche installed when I remodeled the bathroom and I love it. I also have two stone curving shelves in the corner, so there is plenty of space for all the bottles and doodads.

Turned green? hm. Maybe that 's the "not for exfoliator" warning. None of the reviews I read said that; only that it cleared up space and they felt like they were at a resort. Oh well. To each their own. Good luck!

Since I have multiple kind of shampoos/conditioners that I like to rotate rather than use straight through, coupled with small bathrooms, I do not store them in the shower. I get whatever I want to wash my hair with, take it in, then take it out & put away when I'm done. I dislike a shower that has a bunch of bottles of product. Also I only shampoo my hair once or twice a week. My DH always uses the same shampoo, and he shampoos his hair daily, so his stays in the shower. We have a wall niche and a small tiled-in corner shelf. If we didn't have those, I'd sequester the bottles in a plastic bin or basket that could drain and keep it in the corner on the floor. for the bathroom that has a shower/tub combo (as opposed to just a shower) i let the kids keep a shampoo, a conditioner, and a soap along the tub edge (this was before we installed a niche). Anything additional sat on the floor in a plastic basket.

Yeah, I learned my lesson late. Between this house and our beach house, we have a bunch of bathrooms, and ALL of them have handy niches except for this one -- because this was the first one we renovated. What did we know? Oh wait, that was 15+ years ago -- you're right, it's time for a whole new bathroom! Let me tell DH. He will be so happy. Actually I'm thinking we have about 5 years left in this house and I'm crossing my fingers that we don't have to do anything significant to it before we move on.

The corner thing I have is made by OXO. It is very similar to the Simple Human one, but maybe I should give the SH one a try, since this design overall has worked well for us.

I have the Simple Human one in my shower. It gets nasty too. I just keep our stuff on the shower seat. My SH holder needs to be trashed.

I have this one in my Jack n Jill bathroom that my boys used to share, before they moved to the basement. At that time they just used shampoo and Johnsons baby wash, thus 2 dispensers.

Its a pretty cool dispenser..

I have the same one for their bathroom downstairs that I haven't installed yet with three dispensing pumps. One for shampoo, one for conditioner, and one for body soap. No screws, just adhesive. Stays put if installed correctly.

Like melle_sacto, I have multiple bottles (8) of skin and hair care products that are used in rotation. Although an over-the-showerhead unit was okay in the last house, it didn't work in this one. Here, all my bottles fit into a deep basket that sits atop a small stool (sized for a tiny toddler) outside the tub at its rear corner. The stool raises the basket enough that the bottles are easy to reach, and my sturdy physique blocks the escape of any water beyond the shower curtain as I reach out and grab a bottle, open it, squirt product, close bottle, and return it to basket.

We have the same problem - tiny bathroom, no storage. A few years ago a friend gave me a gift "basket" of bath products as a recuperation gift after surgery. The plastic basket is shaped very much like a caddy for cleaning supplies. It has lots of holes for drainage at the sides and bottom, and a handle at the top. When anyone takes a bath it can be put on the side of the tub, otherwise just left in the shower (we have tub/shower combo). Periodically I empty it out and give it a good scrub. You can get a plastic caddy for cleaning supplies at any dollar store.

My son ended up getting the linked item and likes it. I STILL don't have it. I need to get one.
