Apartment living

So i have recently transitioned to apartment living.. meaning, small space, and no room for my collection of beauty products, particularly when talking about shower space. Yes, i know, i need to downsize but while I did get rid of excess products there was still hardly any room for the necessities. Problem is, when I went to go buy a temporary shower caddy, and they were up to $20!! I tried Walmart and Target for something that could hold all (or most) of my products without emptying my wallet! The solution?? Target dollar section!! Yes, thats right, the dollar section. With $3.00 and a bit of creativity I was able to create an affordable, AND style friendly, shower caddy to hold all of my shower products!! 

Before:

As you can see there was little ledge space. My shampoo and conditioner were half on and half off. It was almost impossible to grab any one bottle without knocking them all over! 

After:

I put this together by getting an over the door hanger with hooks. The dollar section had these plastic totes. Since my roommate and I chose black and shades of teal as our bathroom colors in our apartment in the fall, I chose the blue, but there were a few other colors to chose from to fit your chosen decor! The wide holes made a perfect holder for my razor so that the blades could air dry rather than sit at the bottom where it could harbor major bacteria(gross)! The over the door hooks came in a few other colors as well and I'm sure you could spray paint it in any color of your choosing. The loofah was something I already had on hand. 

(1) over the door hanger- $1

(2) plastic totes- $2

Grand Total: $3!!!! 

All of the these items I found in the Target dollar section. 

Now thats what I call bargain decorating! 

(of course you could probably find comparable items in many stores. If they are not available at your Target. Prices, however, will vary!)

The over the door component of the hooks weren't quite as wide as they needed to be but I was able to easily widen them using some pliers. I was also thinking of adding two black or aqua bows on the outside where the prongs are.
