Wicked Local
Living in a Back Bay apartment, Melissa Clayton discovered a problem: There simply was not enough space in the bathroom to get ready in the morning.
Hairdryer on the toilet tank, toothbrush here, makeup there and not enough vanity top for everything to sit comfortably. When she and her family moved to Acton, the house might have been bigger, but the bathrooms were not and the struggle continued.
It was a puzzle she believes is shared by women everywhere.
From that, the germ of an idea - a collapsible platform that could sit over the sink on the vanity top. When done, it folds down to the size of an iPad - and fits in a handy drawer.
