Hang a Second Shower Caddy

The trouble with those shower caddies that hang from the showerhead pipe is that you have only one showerhead. To get more space for your bath potions, hang another caddy on a cabinet knob. With a No. 8-32 hanger screw, you can screw the knob into a stud. To fasten to drywall, use a screw-in drywall anchor along with the hanger screw. If that’s not a realistic option, you can always find a super-sized shower caddy that will at least give you a little more room to keep soaps, shampoos, etc.
