Bathroom fix

Awkward space filled one corner of our bathroom. Our neighbor told me the previous owner of our house renovated the bathroom shortly before we bought it, and that the contractors were supposed to put in a closet, but never finished. They certainly didn't leave room for another door in that tight space.


We used to keep our hamper there, but decided to move that to the bedroom and use the space for storage.  I really liked this shelf from Pottery Barn:

Making one ourselves would be much more involved than installing a few shelves and offer half the room, so we opted to save this idea for another time.
Over the weekend my parents came to visit and Daniel got started on building some shelves. I am very happy with what Daniel put up, and with my Dad's idea to angle the wood supports. Because this area had plenty of studs in the wall, the shelves are very sturdy.




I gladly de-cluttered the linen closet and re-arranged items in the bathroom. Now, Mari will have a convenient place for bath toys and guests will not have to ask where to find the towels.
