Marilyn Bohn | Creative Organizer

I recently visited my daughter and in their rented home there is only one bathroom. There wasn’t any room to hang my travel organizer—It is the blue bag on the right in this basket. It is wonderful; it has a hook to hang it from a towel rack, hooks, shower rods and knobs. I purchased it at L.L. Bean in Maine. They come in all sizes. It has pockets and dividers to keep things organized within the bag. I also like it when I am camping, I just hang it on a branch and it even has a non-breakable mirror inside. It keeps everything handy and in one place.

But this time there wasn’t room for this or my other items. I couldn’t even leave out my tooth brush as all three of us have identical ones. So I came up with the idea of putting all my items I needed daily from make up, tooth brush and lotions etc. in a basket. It worked great as it was portable and held everything together.

I wanted to share what turned out to be a great idea when staying in someone else’s home; most people have an extra basket or two that can be used. A box would work well too. It was a great idea for a small space and it was portable and kept everything handy.

What solutions have you found when you have been a guest in someone else’s place when space is limited? I would like to know how you’ve solved the problem.
