We have remodeled a tiny half bath under the stairs. To make the most of what little space we have we decided to use the stud spaces for as much storage as possible. A recessed medicine cabinet and toilet paper holder were a no brainer. I also built my own in wall magazine rack.

Brush Away. Very simple install. Every inch matters. —Submitted by Tom Schaffer
