Minimizing Life, Bathroom Episode!

I'm on a quest to minimalistic living.  I'd like to call my quest Minimalism with a Twist.  I call it that because the minimalist web logs and pages I've visited that show pictures of their homes look WAY too empty.  I don't want empty, I just want everything to have a place and for everything to have a purpose, even if the purpose is just to look pretty on the wall.

I don't want to own clothes I don't wear, or books I don't read or toiletries I don't use.  I want to use up what I do have, enjoy what I have right now, and get rid of anything I don't like or that I don't use.

I started with the bathroom.  I really should have gotten before pictures, but I didn't.  I threw out anything that was expired, old, un-useful to me, or redundant (I don't need that many little bottles of lotion, just a couple.  I got rid of a few more towels (I had previously ditched quite a few).

Here is the sink.  The medicine cabinet is fairly full, but with stuff we use.  There's only hand soap, lotion, cotton rounds, and toothbrushes on the vanity.  Everything else found a place in the cabinet uncluttered.

Here's the area I could declutter more, but it's fine for now.  Towels and extra TP, and various other things that don't fit nicely into the medicine cabinet.  The bag with the orange  handle and zipper on the left contains the only make-up I own, the green one behind it has all my nail care stuff.

By the toilet.  Just a small trash can, a scale, a potty insert for the toddler, and one box of tub toys.

Under the sink.  A few cleaning supplies, a couple travel toiletry bags, some extra soaps, my hair dryer, and I even had room to fit the extra cat litter and the plunger and toilet brush... out of sight, out of mind, and unavailable to the toddler.

Three towels hanging, one for each family member, though there is another on the door, and the kitty litter box with nothing else next to it, so nothing else will get full of kitty litter!!

I should say that my tub has a tension pole shower caddy that holds everything one would need for a bath or shower.  I moved some stuff there that I forgot I had, so now it is easily accessible for use during my next bath.  

I'm working on our 2nd bedroom that is actually an extension of our living room, which we call "the study" which is actually more of a playroom and reading area.
