Our downstairs bathroom has no cabinets for storage.After almost two years, I still hadn’t found the right place or way to store the clean hand towels.I didn’t want to store them upstairs in the linen closet since we need them in the downstairs bathroom.I didn’t want buy a cabinet or shelf for this bathroom since we don’t know how long we’ll be here.I didn’t want to just pile them up in the bathroom (which, in frustration, I considered briefly).I want them contained somewhere, somehow AND conveniently located.
I had settled on storing them in the tiny laundry room located across the hall from the bathroom.
This was not the best solution because this shelf is about 6 feet high, which means I can barely reach it.And more importantly, the kids can’t reach it.So every time they needed a new towel, I had to get it down for them.As I stood on my tippy toes to reach the towels, I’d often bump into the washer and stop the wash cycle.In the scheme of life, this is insignificant, I know.But it was pretty darn annoying and definitely unnecessary.
Then “Oh, Happy Day.”I found this basket.I think it was originally an office in/out paperwork basket.I lik the simple, industrial look.
And see.It wedges perfectly between these two support braces.
I won’t even have to fill any holes in the wall when we leave!But best of all?Now the kids can reach their own towels.AND the basket can move with us for future use in a future home.Simple solution.

I find these items in my own home, in thrift stores and sometimes friends give me their items to repurpose. A friend gave me me a gorgeous…
I had so much fun making fabric pumpkins last week that I knew I wanted to make more. Lots more. Halfway through making the traditional orange fabric pumpkins, I knew exactly what I wanted to make next – 90’s grunge-inspired pumpkins. And I knew that I wanted to use upcycled fabric from a flannel shirt…
