Bathroom Organizing With Baskets

We want to start with somewhere you might expect, using baskets when organizing. We however don’t want you just to grab baskets and throw stuff in. There’s a great way of organizing whatever you need in your basket and store it so that you basket appears as a decoration, instead of just a storage piece.
