Organizing the bathroom can be one of the most daunting tasks that a person can take on. There is usually so much stuff in a bathroom that it ends up every where. The stuff will be on the back of the toilet, all along the edge of the shower or tub, lined up along the back of the sink and anywhere else that can fit something. It just looks cluttered.

To organize your bathroom, you must have a place for all this stuff besides where it is at the present time. One way to do this is to have containers that will house like things. By using containers, you will free up space. Also make sure these containers are pleasing to the eye and actually match the decor of your bathroom.

It was probably the Egyptians who first learned to appreciate wooden tables and, of all the materials available today for furniture (glass, plastics, metals etc) a wooden dining table is still the preference of most people. It is not recorded how the Egyptians treated and cared for their wood to preserve its quality but they undoubtedly will have had some secrets.

Fortunately nowadays we have the TV bombarding us with information about the multitude of products to care for, clean and restore the beauty of our wood, but there are also some basic common-sense habits we can easily acquire that will protect our furniture and keep it looking beautiful; so before we think about commercial products, let’s just consider some of these.

You should have at least two screwdrivers in the toolbox: a standard and a Phillips. You may have other junk screwdrivers that you use for chisels or putty knives when no one is looking, but be sure to have two good ones. While I was working in heavy construction, I got in the habit of carrying a very large standard screwdriver in my apron.

It wasn’t always practical to carry a crowbar, chisel, or putty knife around, so instead I used my “magic screwdriver.” That’s what I still call it. It tickles me to hear someone I’m working with ask to borrow my “magic screwdriver.” It is a good all-purpose tool, but a lousy screwdriver. Using a screwdriver as a chisel to gouge out wood or as a small crowbar to increase your leverage tends to round the tip, so that it will slip out of screw slots.
