    I am glad that you mentioned that the clear compartment for cleaners should be up higher for moms with little kids. Of course now that I have started using cleaning alternatives, I hardly have any bottles anymore.

    I love the jute storage box and the bathroom wood caddy with wood handles. They are rustic and functional. I really like the earthy colors. My house isn’t that small but i will adapt these ideas for sure. If you had space you could use the jute storage box for a hamper. super cute…!!
