Love organizing tips, thanks! But has anyone tried any of these with good results? For example an over the door towel rack, with wet towels drying on it, is so heavy that the whole door is now off kilter and won't latch.

yes, I have an extra curtain rod over my bathtub with baskets. it's very helpful, been up for months. I also hung a couple of baskets from the towel rod over the toilet. my bathroom is much more organized.

I love the rod/basket idea. I wonder if I could do that in my oddly shaped stall shower. we have a glass door, the shower is a triangle, longest end is 36". anyone know if shower rods come that short?

Thank you for the link!
Does anyone know where I can purchase StickOnPods? I have been looking for something like this for a while. I have similar products which adhere with suction cups, but they don't work on the inside of my medicine cabinet door.

a pressure-mounted shower rod should be just fine, but you'd have to use another material to straighten the points of contact with the wall. you may prefer a corner thing:

I have an over the door hook rack on the back of my bathroom door. There are 6 hooks on it. I keep 3 (sometimes 4) towels there. When I place a wet towel on the rack, I give it some space so it can dry out (I keep the hook closest to it empty.)

Been doing this for years as we are not handy so over the door anything is a blessing for us.

You can try this out with the over the door hooks from the dollar store. (I have them on the inside of each closet door to maximize my space and keep the house neat. 13th Ave and 45th Street nintey-nine cents store carries them for about $1.99. They look like the ones in the link below, but they come with 6 hooks.)

We purchased one when we were first married. We loved it. But bear in mind that these things don't last very long. We had it for a short time only.

the shower rod with baskets will cause the same problem. you could hang a towel rack outside the shower and hang baskets there if you need them, but they wouldn't be easily accessible from the shower. can you use an over the door type thing over your shower door and hang mesh bags or something?

Have you seen the shower curtain liners that come with pockets? You can keep stuff there - easily accessible in shower, but you need to keep them facing outwards so water does not get into the pockets/stuff inside them.

oooh! applying magnets to the back of your make up! That sounds doable! Very cool! Thank you for sharing!

I really want to do that but I'd be afraid the magnet wouldnt be strong enough and the makeup would fall and crack. Has anyone done it?

any lifehacks for getting several hampers into a tiny bathroom? I'd love to be able to sort laundry as I'm throwing it in the hamper, but have no room for another hamper or one of those sectioned ones. Our tiny hamper is wedged in as is.

I keep my laundry separated in a drawer laundry 'basket' . Its great, it takes up the same floor space as a regular luandry basket but with 5 draws so keeps everything easily separated. I got mine from ikea a few years ago.
