Okay mamas I need help in how to organize my
bathroom cabinet.
It is 9 in tall x 22 in deep. Odd shape.
So basically you only see the few tall items/products in front.
I bought some organizers but they're just tall enough to either not allow
me to get out what's inside the the bin or they won't allow to see into the back of the
shelf.
How else can I organize this short but deep space?
No other counter space or room for other shelving in this bathroom..
Need some alternative ideas or suggestions on how to work with I do have right now. Thanks ladies.

What can I do next?

Store everything in small upright baskets. You'll still have to take the front baskets out to get to the back baskets, but instead of pulling out tons of bottles, you're just pulling out a few baskets.

My husband goes through a TON of blank CD's, so I use the lids off the spindles, tipped upside down. They are clear so I can see what's inside, and I have about ten on one shelf in my hall closet (which is like your cabinet...deep, but shelves are short and not very wide.) For example, all the hairbands/headbands are in one. Nail polish, remover, files, etc in another. Bottles of body spray in another. You see what I mean. :) It would work in a bathroom cabinet too. If you don't have 500 CD spindle tops sitting in your basement like me, just buy some cheap clear plastic canisters/baskets and use those. :)

I have a closet in my bathroom that is about 10 inches wide, 22 -28 inches deep and 9 feet tall-floor to ceiling. There are shelves in there and it is hard to organize so that everything can be reached. I did find that some baskets work for the most part. The baskets are double tiered and I saw something similar at Target once. I got mine from LillianVernon.com. It works well because I can put the smaller items like deodorant, floss, etc in the baskets and then put shampoo and other bottles in the side. Then stuff not used too often is at the back like extra soaps and pads, etc. so we don;t have to reach too far back and knock everything out. If you have a closet organizer place close to you or a Bed, Bath & Beyond type store, you might find something there. Just make sure you measure before buying.

I have a similar cart under the counter in my kitchen because the shelf that was in there was just bad spacing.

Is there only one shelf or many? If there are several, take every other one out to make the spaces taller.

Or, by baskets that just fir the space (try the dollar store) and then slide them in and out. You can even be creative and divide the basets up so nothing falls down as you slide.

Can you get O. of those kitchen cupboard racks that allows the bottom shelf to slide out?

Here's O. (expensive!) O. that's like a basket to look at, but they have them as shelf bottoms:

Maybe see if you can find something at BB&B similar?
