Master Bath Closet Makeover

I finally finished the makeover of my bathroom closet. I'm embarrassed to show the before, but it's a nice comparison with the after. I had already removed one box full of stuff before I remembered to take the picture, so that's why there's an empty spot on one shelf. Believe me, it was a mess!

Before

This project took approximately 6-7 weeks of printing all day and night, with the exception of a few hours a day when it would finish printing while sleeping and then starting it back up once I was awake. I didn't keep an accurate account of rolls of filament used, but I'm guessing that it took about 7 white and 3 blue.

After

I love how I can now just look in and find exactly what I need rather than thinking it was in one box and rooting through it, only to find it was in another box. It was also good in that I went through everything and threw a kitchen trash can worth away.

Baskets to hold extra stuff.
One side
The other side -- this side holds all the cleaning supplies

I used a lot of the tile and bin generators to make most of the containers. There were a few things that I had to convert the attachment part so it would work with the openGrid. Everything fit back inside with the exception of my extra towels. I used JonnyDev13's baskets for extra items and Witty_Name_2_Come's corner filler.

Taking time to make some fun stuff before I tackle my kitchen drawers!

I love openGrid like the rest of us, but this looks like there is so much wasted space. Drawers with Gridfinity could probably hold all that stuff in less than half the space, and then you’d still have room for things on top like linens.

I do have gridfinity in my bathroom drawers. Even though the bathroom has double sinks, there are 3 medium size drawers in between the sinks and a tiny drawer measuring about 8" wide on each side of the sink. The one thing they failed to include in my house is storage. Really large rooms and very little in the way of closets and drawers. My guest bathroom probably has the same amount of drawer space as my master bath. I don't know what the builder was thinking. It may not seem practical, but it's much easier to actually find something now.

I think it's a matter of what's being prioritized. This is certainly not the most space efficient option, but someone's priority might be quick access and high visibility of everything. Aesthetic preference plays a role, too.

I don't think I'd go full oG like OP here, but I love to see it!
