The Fanciest Bathroom Organizer Ever Is Already In Your Kitchen

Thinking about using items from your bathroom in your kitchen may seem odd, but if you flip the script, you'll find that some handy kitchen staples have a perfect place in the bathroom. If you have a smaller bathroom or are looking for ways to up your bathroom organization and storage game, there's one handy kitchen tool you should use: a cake stand.

Cake stands are great for bathroom storage and decor since they have a large flat top and come in gorgeous designs. Using the top of your cake stand as a makeshift shelf for your soaps, washcloths, beauty products, or other odds and ends is a smart way to add more functionality to your bathroom without having to go out and buy more accessories — especially if you have more than one cake stand on hand. If the color of the cake stand clashes with your bathroom decor, a simple paint job will do the trick to fit in more seamlessly.

Adding a cake stand to your bathroom counter is an elegant way to spruce up your storage. It's the perfect place for everything from washcloths to pretty perfume bottles and makeup. You can also add decorations like flowers in bud vases or a reed diffuser. But, if you want to make your cake stand fit better aesthetically into this space, then a change in design might be in order.

Painting a cake stand might sound difficult, but with a smart strategy and spray paint, you'll have a new look in a matter of hours! You'll need a can of primer and another spray can of your color of choice. Starting with primer is the best approach since this provides a clean base for your new color. Before you begin spraying your primer and paint, take your cake stand outside or somewhere secluded (and ventilated) so the remnants of the paint do not stick to any other surface. Place a piece of cardboard or old newspaper underneath your cake stand — this will help keep the ground free from paint and also help with clean up.
