How to Create Storage in a Tiny 2 Piece Bathroom

 Whether you are renting or have recently purchased a home with a tiny 2 piece bathroom, storage becomes an issue pretty much right away!

You don't want to run out of toilet paper knowing the rolls are stored in a closet in your bedroom! 

I have found some awesome products that will use the tiniest of spaces without construction or renovation for neat and tidy storage.  Getting creative is the key. 

1.  Beside the Toilet Storage 

Check out these tiny yet spacious storage cabinets for beside the toilet or small spaces.

These little cabinets are perfect for extra toilet rolls and personal items.  By using the vertical space available you can utilize every square inch without crowding the room.

2.  Over Toilet Storage

The biggest usable space of course is the space over the back of the toilet.  You could simple add some shelves to the wall, but if you are renting and don't want to do any damage, then you can get free standing units online.  Check out below for some ideas.

This assemble quicly and can house quite a few things for the bathroom. You could add baskets to the shelves for even more storage that still looks clean and organized.  I like the idea of the ones with cabinet doors to hide everything.

3.  Over the Bathroom Door Storage

Using the back of the door is another area where you can utilize the most space.  Check these units out.

This space could house your cosmetics, towels and more.

4.  Under the Pedestal Sink Storage

This is a little bit more of an investment, but does look good.  Many 2 piece bathrooms or powder rooms have a toilet and a pedestal sink making storage tricky.

These units below, simply slide under the sink.  No construction and you can take it with you when you move.

This is probably one of the easiest ways to store everything in one spot.

Have I Got You Inspired Yet?

As you can see by the above 4 ideas, you can create quite a bit of space even in the tiniest bathrooms.  If you use beside the toilet, over the door and toilet and under the sink, you will have plenty of space.  

You can totally change the look of this room instantly to a more user friendly space, where all the bathroom supplies actually live in the bathroom!

How to Clean a Smelly Couch

 I came into the house one day after cleaning everything and my house just had a smell.  Just a cat, dog, stinky feet, sweaty, odd,  not nice smell.  

After much investigation, I realized it was my couch.  I had removed animal fur and really vacuumed it, and it looked nice, but that lingering smell was still there.  This couch always has family and pets on it, so I wanted a way to make it smell better.

I FOUND A WAY TO CLEAN A SMELLY COUCH!

This works.

What you will need:

Box of baking soda

Pinesol (original cleaner)

Warm water

Micro fibre cloth

Scented Dryer Sheets 

Vacuum cleaner

An afternoon

Method:

Step 1:  Sprinkle the baking soda over the couch liberally.  

Step 2:  Let it sit for at least an hour

Step 3:  Vacuum all the baking soda off the couch, cushions and under the cushions

Step 4:  Take approx 1/4 cup of pinesol and mix with about a quart of warm water.  (Test this mixture somewhere on the couch to make sure it doesn't react to the fabric first)

Step 5:  With your micro fibre cloth, dunk in pinesol mixture and wring out well then rub all over the couch.

Watch this video to see how she does this with the cloth.

Step 6:  Let it dry for a few hours.

Step 7:  Take the dryer sheets and open the zipper in the cushions and and place the scented unused sheet in the cushion.

Your odors should not be gone!

Don't get rid of that fabric couch before giving the above steps a try. It definitely deserves another chance and will save you money in the end.
