How to create more storage space in bathroom

Shelf above a door in bathroom

I first found this great storage organizing idea on TipJunkie

A lot of us with smaller bathrooms in apartments or anywhere we are tight on space have a creative way to add more storage.  Build a shelf with two brackets and a board above a doorway to create extra storage for baskets, linens, toiletries, etc.

The idea came from MarthaStewart Home and Garden.  In her,

Install a Toiletry Shelf

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.

Easter, Spring crafts

I found this adorable table decoration on Tip Junkie with instructions, tutorial on DIY showing how to make it.  I will be heading to my local Michael's store to get the supplies I need and to Bed Bath and Beyond to find a milky white vase.

For the rabbit figurines I have an adorable green bunny figurine and green egg candles I will be using

in my Easter/Spring tablescape and will make the centerpiece with Forsythia, in a white vase, and styrofoam eggs which spell out Happy Easter hanging from the Forsythia .

The supplies I need are

Materials:

• Creamy white vase (Scour thrift stores/etc.)
• White ribbon  ( try getting materials at dollar store)
• Straight pins
• Deco Art Paint (I used Americana Gloss Enamels in yellow)
• White bunnies 
• Paper Mache Eggs x 11 (I used styrofoam eggs)
• Faux Forsythia (at Michaels )

This is the white vase I am using, the forsythia looked gorgeous with the sun streaming in on the table.

The next step to my version of this project will be to add the eggs hanging on ribbon from the branches of the forsythia. I purchased styrfoam eggs as opposed to the paper mache eggs suggested, hope it works.

I will Paint the styrofoam eggs and than use a sharpie to write each letter that will spell out Happy Easter.

I followed the directions from DIY the picture was from DIY.  

I will post pictures after I complete this craft project, can't wait to start, it's been a long time since I attempted a craft project.
