Small Bathroom Organization Makeover

We just gave our small bathroom some updates that helped maximize storage space, and made it feel cheery and clean. See today’s post for our small bathroom organization makeover!

#1 We swapped our pedestal sink for a vanity

The new vanity gives us much needed storage under the sink for toilet paper, feminine supplies, and towels. Before, we had to store these necessities in our nearby closet. Although it’s the same size as our pedestal sink, it does take up more visual space in the room. I think it’s worth it!

#2 We got a bigger (and nicer) medicine cabinet

The new medicine cabinet has a few pluses: it looks like a piece of decor, and warms up the look of the all white bathroom. It also provides more storage for the things that make our morning and nightly routines easier: face cream, vitamins, and dental supplies. I like that these can all be tucked away rather than out on the sink. The door opens on the lefthand side, which means the boys can access their things easily while standing on the toilet seat as a step stool. Our old one opened to the wrong side! This simple thing really changes the flow in our space.

#3 I updated our bath toy storage with these corner bins

Now I don’t bang my shins when I’m shaving my legs!

Shop this look: Medicine cabinet is from West Elm, Bath toy bins are from Target, and the shower curtain is from Target’s Room Essentials line.

xo,

Lauren

Meet Lauren Fink-Shea, Seattle Professional Organizer

Welcome! I'm Lauren, and you can usually find me working on a project in my 1940's Cape Cottage or cuddling my two boys. I wasn't always organized, but when I became a mom I soon discovered that it was key to making time + space for what I love: writing projects, reading for pleasure, and quality time with my family. Decluttering and organizing are still my go to activities when I feel stuck and need to redefine my purpose. I also coach clients on the organizational skills they want to develop in order to achieve their goals. This blog is full of my latest organizing and decluttering discoveries, stories from my work with clients, process guides to make it all easier, and resources to help you carve out more time + space for what you love, too!

Atma and Teresa S., Bryant

“My office used to be a catch all space for stuff. Now it’s a place where I can focus my work. Our paperwork of the last few years is now neatly filed and easy to find. Lauren came with a plan, executed it and pushed us to make some changes in a few hours that could have taken us months to decide. We finally got rid of some items that were taking up space but never used. We love the transformation!” –Atma and Teresa S., Bryant

Bryan and Mary H., Hawthorne Hills

“Lauren helped us eliminate our external business office and merge it with our home office, which saves us commute time and thousands of dollars each month in overhead costs. My wife and I both use the space for different purposes, and Lauren helped us navigate those needs and come up with a thoughtful organization that works for both of us. We are very happy with our office!”— Bryan and Mary H., Hawthorne Hills

Lauren is wonderful to work with. She gently addresses the client’s needs with ease and professionalism. I would highly recommend her to any of my clients whether they need a little or a lot of organization in their lives! –Meredith Helmick, of Meredith Helmick Interiors, Montlake

Diane S., Ballard

“I had organized my art room many times, but I didn’t have a system to keep it organized. Lauren helped me rethink, define, purge and set up a manageable system according to my values and needs. She asked great questions and got to the essence of what I wanted. She helped me repurpose existing furniture to create space, a sense of calm, and increase productivity. I appreciated her ability to think outside the box, keep me encouraged and on task. The end result is freedom from clutter, unwanted things, and a space that reflects my individuality!”— Diane S., Ballard

Kim F., Bryant

“After I built my Adu, I decided to rent out my house, and move into the ADU instead. Lauren helped me work with a smaller kitchen and organize it so I actually cook! I also love the little toolbox she organized which replaces the need for an entire cabinet for all the leftover construction items.”— Kim F., Bryant

“Lauren was so helpful with organizing my hallway drop zone/ mud area, this area has been bugging me for way too long. In little over an hour, Lauren gave me ideas I hadn’t thought of and she also gave me some great ideas for organizing my bathroom as well. Now things have a home and the space doesn’t look like an unorganized drop zone, we even used bins and jars I already had. I highly recommend Lauren’s organizing services.” — Hannah E., Roosevelt
