Sorting My Small Space: The Bathroom (Before)

This is what I have to work with:

Hi, from the mirror. It's shiny in here.

The cabinets have a decent amount of space, and the counter top is very nice, space-wise compared to some of the things you'll find in apartments.... However, ever time I touche it I'm totally grossed out. Someone (a previous tenant? Maintenance? Idk) decided to paint it and the tile back splash - I guess to mimic granite. It looks more like a laminate than I think the original stuff did.

The shower is the same as the last two I've had, so it will not be an issue with figuring out how to set that up - since it's just a redo of what I've done before. I can't decide if I prefer this checker tile or the concrete from the last apartment. Ether way, it works with my bathroom accoutrement so It's not a big deal.
The actual footprint of the bathroom is really big. About the size of the two bathrooms from the last apartment combine... but the door opens right through the middle of it, so it's pretty unusable space. Not that I know what I'd do with it if I could simply toss something in there. Oh!, but do you see the towel rack there by the bathtub? That's the only place availible to hand a hand towel. A good four steps away from the sink.


And this is what hides behind the door across from the sink.

The space is not ideal - but really what is in an apartment setup? I've got some ideas percolating, but we'll see if they pull together just the way I'm hoping. Give me two weeks.

  2. We've figured out that towel storage is actually the thing we're lacking :) We're getting a shelf that is also a towel rack... so we'll see where that goes, but over the toilet is definitely one of the places we're considering :)
