Bathroom Vanities and Tub/Shower Area 

April 26th, 2008

3 reasons to keep the bathroom organized:

•When the kids won’t leave you alone and you want to get away, go to the bathroom and crank up the music so you can’t hear them.
•You can draw a bubble bath and pretend you are somewhere else, I think there used to be a commercial where the woman said, “Calgon, take me away”. Does anyone else remember that or did I just make it up?
•When company comes they always need to use the bathroom.

Keep the vanity clear by containing things in baskets, use toothbrush holders, soap holders and have a candle you can light to freshen the room. (The candles in the metal tins are safer in bathrooms). If you use a votive candle holder put a little water in the bottom so the candle doesn’t stick when it burns down.

For the tub area keep things off the rim of the tub by having holders for the soap, shampoos, salt rubs etc.

Here are some before and after photos:

A caddy hangs over the shower head and a rack that holds everything else fits in the corner. This keeps the tub free and clear and uncluttered. What tips and ideas have you used to free your vanity and tub?

    Marilyn, I have looked EVERYWHERE online for a video clip of that old Calgon commercial! I have not found it on YouTube or anywhere. I definitely remember that and wanted to get a laugh out of seeing it again. They do have the commercials on YouTube for Calgon laundry soap (”ancient Chinese secret!”).

    A couple of your photos are not coming through on this post- they are showing as broken images. Thought you’d want to know!

    Does anyone know where we could find the old Calgon commercial so we could share for everyone to get a good laugh?
    Thanks Lorie

I can unreservedly recommend Marilyn Bohn to you for any organization needs you may have."
