Bathroom Organization, Again

Hope everyone has had a great week.  I had been thinking about moving the shelf that I had redone out of our bathroom.  Here is a link to that post bathroom shelf.  Well, last night something happened that gave me the push I wanted.  Our toilet overflowed and there came a flood of water!  So last night after cleaning up that mess, I moved the bookshelf out!  I decided to get an over the door organizer to put our things in and give us back the space in our tiny bathroom.  I couldn't find one I wanted this morning.  We do have a container store in Austin, but I just didn't feel up to driving over there today. 

We had one in our closet that wasn't getting good use, so I just used that one.  Here it is on the bathroom door.

It is not as nice as the shelf, but I just felt like the shelf was taking up to much space.  I am really hoping this will work for us because I don't know if my husband will be too excited if I changed it for a third time.

We also have this over the toilet shelf that I got at Target last month.

Nothing fancy but it does help with storage space.  I am hoping to start getting quotes on bathroom windows next week.  The ones we have are the originals to the house which would make them 30 years old!  Yikes! 

There is a blank wall now next to the shower.  I am going to get a couple of nice hooks to use for towels.  I have been wanting my towels back close to the shower and couldn't because that is where the shelf was located. 

When you organize do not get frustrated if it is not working for you.  Sometimes, like with my bathroom, you have to try out a couple of different set ups before the right one works. 

Take some time to organize today!

In Bloom

Well, things are starting to really bloom.  Now if we could only get some nice rain to keep them going.  I am trying to purchase plants that are drought tolerant and perfer sun.  Our front yard has nice shade but the back is really open and sunny.  The backyard faces the west, so yeah, sunny.  Anyway, here are a few pictures of what we have growing! 

What do you have planted?  Any ideas for more plants that love sun and can go without water?  Yeah, I live in Texas!  Good guess!

Kids Room Part Two

Last week I posted about cleaning up and organizing my son's bedroom closet(Bedroom Closet).  I also rearranged his bed, desk and added a storage unit into his room. 


His room is small and he has three big pieces of furniture, which are the bed, desk and dresser.  We bought these pieces to last till he goes to college, so they are not going anywhere.  The bed is really a bunk bed, but his little sister is using the top bunk for now until she gets here own bed in a few months.

I moved the desk over in front of the window.  The dresser is in front of the window as well.  The window is really big, so he still gets lots of natural light when he wants to have it. 

I placed an IKEA storage unit in between these to pieces.  It holds art stuff, games, drawing books and a place to recycle paper.

We are thinking of selling our house next year and I would like to paint his room a more buyer friendly color.  Plus, we painted this room at least 4 years ago and it is time for a change for him.  I was thinking of a pale blue or light gray.  Gray seems to be a popular color. I also want to paint the trim and doors white. I just don't know whether the gray will go with his furniture color.  Any ideas?

The big bookcase is gone from his room and has found a home in our living room area.  A posting on that coming soon!
