The Bathroom tips

"...help.. I need toilet paper. Somebody get me some toilet paper.... hey.. did you hear me!!!!!"

Have you heard that one before in your home? I know that it is funny when Kody yells from the basement that he is out of tp. He is not the only one in our household to have shouted that cry for help. This is a nice way to make sure that you don't run out, unless you have not been to the store lately. I have done a project like this before. I used 3 coffee cans and cut the bottom in 2 of them. I used duct tape and taped them together and then took some fabric that I wanted and put it around it. This time I used fabric glue and tape. It is easy to make a lid if you want one. You can be as creative as you want. 

 See another use for a silverware divider. Everyone has a spot for their toothbrush in the drawer. I have seen post about parents complaining about seeing their kid's toothbrushes on the counters. So here is a solution.

 Here is a tip for not only in the bathroom but for on the go. Glass cases work great for lots of stuff and they help in organizing. In our house we have bathroom totes for everyone and we have all of our shower stuff in them. Doing your nails just before or after you shower is great idea.

 Ever tried to find a pair of tweezers in a drawer of stuff? You look and you look and can't find them. Well, try a magnet and put it in your medicine cabinet. We do not have a medicine cabinet so I would get some wood glue and glue the magnet to the one of the sides in the drawer or even put it on the door under the sink. There are lots of little spaces that we waist. Take a look around and it could surprise you.

 Depending on your stuff in the bathroom will determine if this will help. I love using shoe holder for other things other than shoes. I have one on my kitchen pantry door to hold all of my clippies and other small items. Here you can put over the door or even cut one down to the size of the door under the sink. You can even put it on the outside of the shower curtain.

It is amazing what you can use in a spray bottle. Here is a simple towel rack that is being used to hold spray bottles. On the left you can see a small shelf of towels. This is great if you don't have kids. FYI kids will pull everything down. When you have kids you need to kid proof everything, even the bathroom and bathtub.



So I hope you like these tips and that they could give you some ideas to help you.

Organizing the your desk

Spring is here and it is time for Spring cleaning and to get organized. Yard sales are going to be popping up so you might save some money by visiting them. You never know what you can find at one.

Today we are going to show some tips for the desk area.

Do you have a napkin holder? Have you ever used a napkin holder? Well here is a nice way to use it. at work I have my desk pushed against the wall and I have pushed things to far back and they have fallen down. Now I am old and I am on the chunky side so it is hard for me to crawl under my desk any more. Nobody at work wanted those metal file slots so I took them and put them on their side and pushed them to the back. I can also use the slots for blank paper and other paper work. Using he same technique you can take a bunch of these and line them across the back of your desk so things won't fall through the back crack. This also gives you some extra place to store things like address books or calendars or stuff that you need to work on. You also have a spot for you to put reminder notes on. If your desk is full of cords then you can use it to organize the cords.

 This is nice for a cheep desk rise. This is not for me but others might like it.

There are so much that you can use PVC pipes. They can be cheaper than a rise from the store. Also you can decorate this to you own needs and likes.

Me and my mother fight for the TV and computer all the time. I put the main computer so you can watch TV and work at the same time. Now there are times that I don't want to watch what she is watching and we don't have another TV that has cable or internet. At these times I get my laptop and put it in front of the computer. I can get Netflix on the computer and watch it while I work on my laptop. When I do this I have to use my headphones and this is a nifty way to store them when I am not using them. They will also be out of the way and not get damaged when someone starts moving things around. Those little hooks are useful. You can also use those hooks around the edge of desk and table to hide cords from little kids that like cords.

Like I said before, I like to recycle and I admit that I am frugal so l like this idea. It is another way to keep your desk drawer organized. Some of those little boxes are strong. You can take kitchen liner paper and cover them or use other paper to decorate them and make them a little stronger. Little bowls and other containers can be used. At work I have little bowls in my desk separating my paper clips and binder clips. I am a file clerk and need to be portable for whatever I am doing.

I hope this gives you some ideas and will help you out. Enjoy.
