Don’t you just love a well-organized bathroom with functional and pretty storage galore? I sure do! As I’m thinking over my own house, trying to decide which home improvement projects I want to commit to this year, I keep wondering about whether to include my master bathroom.

Honestly, I’m not much of an advance project planner. Usually I do things on a whim. But I really want to be extra intentional about my time and money in 2013, and I know how easy it is to have one whim lead to another and pretty soon, you’ve gone out on a lot of whims. {grin…. whims, get it? Limb? Oh, I crack myself up sometimes.}

My master bathroom is not particularly pretty as it is, and it isn’t especially functional either. It could use a little makeover. AND, the toilet doesn’t work, so there is that.  It has been broken for a couple of years. Eh hem. But, it isn’t the worst bathroom ever, though, so I’m thinking maybe I might allow myself a little bit of a functional storage makeover with a bit of pretty thrown in (and completely avoid a total remodel, which I’d like to do someday but it really isn’t necessary right now).

We’ll see. I’m still working on my home goals for this year, so no promises of projects yet!

Enjoy this round up of pretty and functional ideas!

    Love the ideas you have gathered here. Since there are a few old dressers hanging around, the idea of repurposing them is very appealing. In fact, my gears are turning about the possibility of creating a pantry with the one in the basement right now. Hope that your new year is shaping up very nicely, Melissa!

    I LOVE these pictures! I really want to organize the insides of my cabinets and drawers this year, and I’m thinking of using pretty trays like you featured here. My bathrooms are both very tiny so there are a lot of good solutions in that regard, too. Happy New Year!

    First, I LOVE all of the bathroom photos. And I had to comment because we have almost the exact same new year’s resolution- mine too is all about living more intentionally, with my time, energy, money. Happy New Year!

    LOVE LOVE LOVE that ladder! You can never have too many of them. Makes me want to dig out the green one I have and find a new home for it. One problem though … most bathrooms don’t have room for all these extra shelves, stands, chairs {and ladders …}

    Happy New Year Melissa! I love these bathroom storage ideas. I have a tiny bathroom with a white cd tower from IKEA. I would love to find some baskets to hide small of the small, less glamorous items on the shelves. I just created an over-sized bright collage for the space which really perks up the room. Thanks for all the inspiration.

    these are really great ideas. My favorite is the drawer for a shelf with the eye hook/dowel for towels. I might use this. thanks

    I’m constantly working on reorganizing spaces. We have a very small house so it’s lots of deep cleaning, decluttering, getting rid of stuff and reorganizing.
