Wood Wine Crates For Bathroom Organization? Yes!

It’s the time of year when I try to organize my life …..again. I started de-cluttering my home back in June of 2015. I did a great job too. I got through every room in our home except the den. I even went back and de-cluttered one of the guest bedrooms a second time.
Wood Wine Crate DIY Project
I’m going to start with that room again and go through the whole de-cluttering process in the next couple of months. No, I didn’t collect a bunch more stuff in the house I just need to get rid of some of the things I hung on too.
For the past year or so I’ve been using this glass tray to corral my lotions and other products on the bathroom vanity. I didn’t realize how disorganized it looked until I finished this project.
I started with two unfinished wood wine crates from Crates and Pallet
and Behr paint in hi-gloss white.
I painted the wine crates, let dry, and ta-dah!
Looks more organized than all that stuff sitting on the tray.
The second crate holds extra wash cloths.
I didn’t stop with the vanity counter top. I moved on to the drawers. I didn’t plan to organize the drawers (don’t want to get too crazy) but the hubby and I were in Sams Club before Christmas and I spotted this drawer organizer set…..
For $19.99 I couldn’t pass it up. The turquoise was the perfect color too!
The vanity drawers went from looking like this.
And this.
To this.
And this. I’m so organized I can hardly stand it.
My bathroom is organized and I’m doing the happy dance. Thanks for being here, Kathy

I love the little crate you built! I need that immediately in my kids bathroom. Thanks for the beautiful and functional ideas!
I love the wine crate! What a great idea! And actually, you could put that lots of places in your house! Love it!
You’re bathroom looks so organized and I’m extremely jealous! I, too, am on a de-cluttering mission. Thanks for the inspiration! Pinned, tweeted, and shared. Thanks for sharing at Merry Monday, hope to see you again next week!
It’s funny how happy it can make us ever time we open a tidy and organised drawer! The little white crates are so cute too, a great way to group your little bits and pieces.
This is exactly what I’ve been looking for! I need a small skinny basket for the back of the toilet, and didn’t even think to try this. *smacks head* Love all your other organizing ideas too!
Oh I love this! Pinning for later!
Love the crate idea for your wash clothes – genius!
Oh boy, do I ever get the cleaning, decluttering, organizing bug at the year’s beginning! I’ve got a big pile of stuff to take to the thrift store and it’s growing daily!
Your bathroom looks great. I like the drawer organizers.
The crates look great. I recognize the painting you did a while back on your blog. It looks great with the towels you have placed in the crate in front of it. You do a good job.
Love your diy crate, so cute! Great ideas, thank you!
There it is!!! I was looking for this post yesterday knowing you’d have a great idea for using a crate in the bathroom. Love the pop of color with the towels you’re storing inside the crate – very pretty. I’ve been using the plastic organizers and just love them! Pinned to share 🙂
It all looks so neat and tidy, Kathy. I love the turquoise. Those Disney princess band aids are too funny. I bet the girls love those. Happy New Year!
Little crates and containers are SO important in our house too! Love the fresh white that you used for yours. Everything looks clean and neat and perfectly in place:) Happy New Year!
