How To Easily Organize Your Medicine Cabinet At Home

Sep 30

New Yorkers know the extent of respect landlords have for bathroom storage, NONE, they have none. Not only are New York bathrooms miniature, their kind of ugly (there I said it) making it challenging to decorate and organize that.

It’s been my mission in life to create organized, comfortable, and clean spaces in my New York apartments. With the little realty space that’s given for storage (what undersink?), I want to share how I keep MY bathroom organized, hopefully inspiring you to reimagine yours.

My bathroom medicine cabinet project is sponsored by The Container Store and The Home Edit’s new bathroom line. All products linked in this post were given to me and I will receive a commission if you choose to click and purchase anything linked in this post.

I’m beyond excited to announce that Organize for Love is 1 of 20 of Brand Ambassadors for The Container Store. For the next 6 months, I’ll be tackling apartment organization projects using products exclusively from The Container Store.

A couple things to note before we get into what my cabinet looked like before. First, I began organizing my cabinet months ago and stopped for a family emergency, actually all home projects stopped in my household. Second, my medicine cabinet is much larger than the standard New York medicine cabinet, so I’m working with a little more.

In full transparency, in addition to my medicine cabinet, I have a shelving in my bathroom but I do not have an under-sink storage. This means that everything under the “bathroom category“ is not actually in my bathroom.

First things first is removing everything from the cabinet, this creates a clean slate allowing me to clean the shelving and “install“ the organization products.

A medicine cabinet hack for my fellow bathroom strugglers is adjusting the shelves inside. Removing the pegs (you may need pliers) will allow you to move a shelf up or down for those taller items like mouthwash, shaving cream, and lotions. You’ll also be able to shorten a shelf when space isn’t needed.

Your welcome

A genius compliment to cabinet organization, which creates storage and maximizes space is The Home Edit Two Tier Organizer.

After I removed everything, I set up my new organization products on my blank canvas based on my sketch. I’m visual so I like to draw out my plans before purchasing products. Sketching also includes exact measurements of the space and products.

Here’s what it looks like after I put my products in place.

When putting my items in their new home, it takes some playing around with. The best way to organize your medicine cabinet is to break down items into smaller categories placing them in smaller containers. That’s why I used the iDESIGN Linus Shallow Drawer Organizer because it makes it that much easier to compartmentalize miscellaneous items that land in the cabinet.

The final touches to any organization project is LABELS!

And finally, the after.

I’ll be tackling more organization projects as a Brand Ambassador for The Container Store. Check out the products I used for this project. Check out the products I used below:

Rebekah Christie

Rebekah Christie began creating accessories in 2009 when she was living in Philadelphia. She was having trouble getting use to Philly being her permanent residence so she stayed home for months. She then began designing headbands and hair accessories. She was discovering her inner designer which was the beginning of "Make it Happen". She grew up in a very creative household where her parents promoted and delved in the arts themselves. With the support and help from them she began a line of headbands, bangles, hair bows, and feather earrings. She sold her pieces at street festivals and markets in Philadelphia. In 2010 she moved back to New York, settling into Brooklyn for the next three years. Since she began her journey as a jewelry designer, she has built a following throughout New York City. Charmed Feathers has been sold at shops in Philadelphia, New Jersey, New York, Maryland, and D.C. CF has also been sold in France and Canada. "The guidelines I follows are adapted from my family and into my designs. Myfather is a man that does not fear color, and Charmed Feathers accessories are always colorful and vibrant. My mother is a woman who taught me to be myself and to not follow the crowd. I like to believe that being true to yourself is as natural as you can get". -Rebekah Christie In 2012 she attended the Art Institute of New York majoring in Fashion Merchandise and Marketing. She's currently attending Borough Manhattan Community College majoring in Business Management. She continues to be a self taught designer and educate herself on entrepreneurship
