In recent years, I shared a three bedroom house with a friend of mine. We loved the location but there was only one problem...one bathroom and no storage. You can imagine two gay men limited to one powder room and no medicine cabinet or drawers for our potions, lotions and pills.Our solution... buy a bunch of gallon sized flip top storage containers for our toiletries, label and store them in our bedroom closets. I separated everything into several categories...one for the shower with shampoo, soaps, facial cleanser and scrub. Another container houses other liquid items such as mouthwash, toothpaste, moisturizer and deodorant. One final box keeps dry things dry like Q-Tips, vitamins and metal fingernail clippers and tweezers.
What started out as a necessity has continued today to help me stay organized and maximize my storage space. Not only do the closed boxes stack well on a closet shelf or in the cabinet under the sink, but they also make travel in the car easy too. Just grab your boxes, throw them in the trunk of the car and you are off quickly for an overnight or week-long trip.
