    Default I invaded the wifes space...a little too much.

    It seems my ever expanding need for space for the shaving stuff has invaded my wife's counter space. When I started finding my strop, razors, and shaving soap stuffed in a drawer, I knew I had to make some space for myself. Since Idaho is a rather outdoorsy place, I thought something with that kinda theme would be good. Here's my DYI project to give her, her space... and she even likes it.






    A bamboo cutting board, a couple birch rounds, and some dowels from a craft store.

    Clever idea!

    I'm fortunate - we have 3 bathrooms in our house. My wife gets the ensuite, guests and visitors get the main upstairs bathroom, but I...I have the entire downstairs bathroom area to myself and my shaving gear!!

    I am not proud to say that my bathroom has more stuff in it than my wife's...

    We've got a half bath I was going to use, but then I got the tears and the "I didn't mean to force you out of our bathroom" story, so I had to adapt to keep her from feeling bad. It's all worked out.

    Aye, that is sadly the case for me as well.
    She has learned to accept it by now.

    She's got the counter, lower cabinet's, pull out drawer, and some hanging space. But I'll be dambed if I'm giving up any cupboard space.

    Why not??? Your shaving gear is way cooler than anything that she has in the bathroom!!

    At least she felt bad. I was being threatened...So now I'm relocated in the basement bathroom.

    I want to do the same as you and Jimbo. However, the SWMBO does not allow my commandeering the basement bath as the grandkids sometimes use it. Age 3 and 6.

    I think another year or so and I might get my wish.

    My wife kicked me out of the master bath years ago - just the two of us so I have the other upstairs bath - its a shrine to wet shaving
