Day 13 - Medicine Cabinet

Today sure was an easy one, thank goodness since it was me against the kids!  Sometimes it is truly a wonder how any mom can get anything done when they have little ones on their heels.  Guess that's why we wear a cape under our clothes.

So here is the pitiful before of the bathroom on our main level, right off the kitchen:

So I began going through everything and checking expiration dates.  I also decided it would be best to group items together and take what I could out of it's original box, especially the adult cold medicine.  We go to the same medication every time we get a cold (Nyquil, Dayquil, Sudafed) therefore we really didn't have any use for the packaging.

In came my velveeta boxes again.  This medicine cabinet is shallow and these boxes fit perfectly!  I covered them with scrapbook paper and added some labelling on a couple of the boxes.

You will notice some of the creams on the second shelf are in the plastic cup that comes with your laundry detergent.  I love using these to corral small items in tight spaces too!

Open space!  The top has eye care supplies, middle shelf is our first aid section for cuts and scrapes, bottom holds bigger items.  Since we live in a 3 story home, it's easier to have some of our necessities in this bathroom and saves us a trip up and down the stairs if we forget to de-stink-ify ourselves! Would hate to work up a sweat before we can get our deodorant on. :)

And there you have it.  Nothing grand, but I got rid of a TON of outdated medications and gained some much needed space.  A little order in the bathroom.  Now I'm off to continue with the laundry room.  Almost done!  As soon as a few goodies arrive in the mail, I can present you with the final reveal.

Have a great weekend!
