When living in NJ for 7 years, I remember having the classic medicine cabinet, (the one with the mirror that opens up with adjustable shelves) in the master bedroom bathroom. Hey, you were lucky to find a house that had a master bathroom back then. And that was it for storage.
Wow. if you could see my bathroom now, it's the Texas sized bathroom, that has more drawers, cabinets and even linen cabinet, with room to spare. I don't know how I functioned looking back. Now, I have enough room for my girly bath and beauty products, linens. One fourth of the first floor is the Master Bath, I love it, very spa like!
One of the things I did when I had this problem with space was to put a skirt around the sink. I wished I had a photo of it. Actually my mom, the most creative, person I know came up with the idea. We found decorator fabric that matched the wallpaper and coordinated it with window treatments and skirt. It was adorable. She did gather the top of the skirt, it required some sewing and then we velcroed the skirt to the sink. I then put those 3 drawer totes underneath. It more than tripled the storage space.
This house by the way had special touches like this everywhere, that we, (my mom and myself collaborated on) and it sold within a few hours of when the agent came out to get the papers signed.

I've seen bathrooms using this clever and attractive way to provide more storage and think it can be really cute! Not only functional, but can add texture and softness to the room as well!
In grade school I had a white wooden table in my bedroom. My mom made a skirt for it and I store my hair curlers under it. :)
