Our guest bathroom is relatively small with very little storage space for extra toilet paper, soap, shampoos, toothpastes, etc. While visiting Martha Stewart this evening I saw this neat, over the door shelf. I'm hoping to add one in my home to make life just a little easier. This is one project I know my youngest son will do for me quite happily. I also love the idea of storing my extra bars of soap in a glass container. I don't know why I've never thought of that before!
Make space for supplies over the bathroom door so that they'll be accessible when they need to be replenished. Use wood screws to secure a pair of wooden shelf brackets to either side of the door frame; screw shelf to brackets. The shelf should rest on top of the door molding, which will help support the weight. Keep small bottled items and toilet paper in handled boxes. Bars of soap can be stored, unwrapped, in an airtight glass container.
