I have drawers like that in my bathroom, too! I have extra counter space and no floor space, so I got the largest size of surface drawers. (I’ll have to take a picture sometime so you know what I mean.) I keep medicine and beauty supplies (hair things, barrettes, bobby pins, etc.) in it. I have drawers similar to yours in the bedroom, which I use for socks, slips, etc. Hmm I must have a lot of socks to fill that whole thing full! I should go through it and weed out the socks I don’t wear anymore.

Great storage solutions; thanks for the great ideas! For bath toys, I think they’re plain nasty. Until they make a rubber ducky Without A Hole that sucks up icky bathwater I’ll continue to only let my kiddos play with cups in the tub. I take home the cups they get from restaurants and they happily fill and dump them on each other during bathtime. I just empty them and store them upside down (not stacked so they’ll dry thoroughly) on a corner shelf stuck high on the shower wall. I toss the old cups every couple of weeks when I wash the tub. They’re not cute but they’re (somewhat) more sanitary!

I had one of my bath scrunchy washy things fall apart once. It was pretty long, all opened up. I could throw in some bath toys, and tie it around our little over-the-shower-head shelf in a bow, so everything could drip dry.

Kacie, I used to keep my underwear in one of those drawers, and my pants in the bottom drawer. Eventually I got sick of being able to see my underwear so I moved it back into one drawer of my husband’s dresser. Then I realize how silly it was of me to keep my pants in that bottom drawer, because it has the tabs to hang file folders in it, and I had all my files in a drawer in my desk- which didn’t work well. Since my desk is in my bedroom, I just switched the contents of the drawers and it works perfectly!

For your bath toy storage problem, I would suggest the tip I posted for Works For Me Wednesday back on Sept. 19, 2007. Here’s the link:

I see you use some of the same storage ideas I use. I love those plastic drawers and I also use decorative baskets.

That looks great! You’ve got it well organized in there.

I have a similar plastic storage thing that I use to keep my socks and underwear organized. Because it sits in plain view, I decided to put some paper on the inside of the drawers to make it not see-through—I just didn’t want people to see my underwear, ya know?

I think my drawers (double meaning!) are better for it.
