I love the books stacked against the wall, especially since I have too many books for my shelves. Unfortunately, I think you have to be blessed with detailed woodwork, hard wood floors, and maybe even this amazingly distressed wall to pull this look off. I doubt artfully stacking my books on my rented apartment's oatmeal carpet will have the same effect.

Maybe if you have a couple of wide wall-mounted shelves and artfully stack the books between the two... thus avoiding the carpet issue?

There are three things that have been life savers for me and my small bathroom:

1. Under my sink I used these mesh sliding drawers from the container store for all of my makeup, cotton swabs, unopened soaps, etc.

2. I love this shower caddy from Simple Human. I have absolutely no clutter in my bathtub. It clamps around the shower head so that you never have to worry about it falling. Almost everything can fit on these shelves. It has a place for my razors and toothbrush (if you're into brushing in the shower, I guess).

3. Having a wall-mounted cabinet over the toilet keeps things looking neat even though I pile in all of my lotions, perfumes, and face washes. I have a great streamlined stainless steel one that has a ton of depth because it was meant to hold towels. I hate those Bed Bath & Beyond organizers that have spindly legs which straddle the toilet tank. I got my wall-mounted unit at Restoration Hardware but I don't think they carry it anymore.

I'm not a huge fan of this one, but you get the idea:
