Storage Ideas For The Bathroom

Bruce McLaren Retirement Village

Design doesn’t end at the bathroom door. It’s a great place to create some cool storage space in your independent living apartment. If you’re not a fan of various bottles littering the floor, try a shower stool. Plus, it’s a great place to sit while washing or to shave your legs.

Design doesn’t end at the bathroom door. It’s a great place to create some cool storage space in your independent living apartment. If you’re not a fan of various bottles littering the floor, try a shower stool. Plus, it’s a great place to sit while washing or to shave your legs.

Ladder shelves are very affordable and take up minimal room. They’re perfect for rolled towels and accessories that can live on the bottom shelves with more important products on the top.

Utilise the back of the bathroom door to hide towels, swimsuits and bathrobes by using some hanging hooks.

Hi there,

I'm writing a story on what's it like to live with a loud voice. Are you someone who gets high-pitched whenever you are excited? Does your family constantly nag you to dial down your voice? Or are you someone who's annoyed by your loved ones' loud talking?

Hi
The NZ Herald reported this morning of people who have purchased a Burger Fuel burger was attacked and had his burger snatched off him after he picked it up. The second incident is that a Uber order was taken off the person who was picking it up from delivery. Third incident was when the delivery truck for daily bakery products had his truck robbed of some items during delivery.
What desperate needs are driving these attackers? What measures can be taken to safeguard such attacks? Taken that these people may be hungry but all they have to do is ask and I am sure the owners would have given them a meal gladly instead of getting hurt in the process of unprovoked attacks.
