Bathroom Before Another snapshot of Bergeson’s bathroom before reordering the space.
Bathroom Before The bathroom housed a lot of products Bergeson didn’t use every day. Because our brains tend to categorize everything the eye perceives, it’s more tiring to be in a busy-looking room.
Linen Closet Before Bergeson’s linen closet needed editing. It was host to too many things she didn’t use often (like board games), while more essential items (like toilet paper) got crowded out.
Emptying the Bathroom and Closet Rather than trying to sort items in a compressed space, we emptied Bergeson’s entire closet and bathroom.
Setting Up Containers Grouping similar objects in containers makes them easier to find and retrieve.
Going Through Items Sorting through products from Bergeson’s bathroom.
Organizing Items We check the expiration date on an ancient bottle of sunscreen.
Sorting Items Bergeson sorts items for donation, disposal, or disbursement to other areas of the house.
Linen Closet After The middle shelves of the linen closet now host labeled bins with similar items, making things easy to find — and less likely to tip over. Lighter backup items live on the top shelf (not a great place for heavier items that could tumble down) and a fresh coat of turquoise paint makes it more pleasing and energizing to open the closet door.
Bathroom After Our goal was to populate the bathroom with things she uses daily — and little else.

Story could be more detailed. And if one doesn’t have 3 or more empty large containers and has to go out to the store to get them it kind of defeats the purpose, doesn’t it?
