No kids yet, but I shared a bathroom with my brother who was 7 years my junior...

We had two sinks and the only thing we shared was handsoap...not even toothbrush holders or toothpaste. Everything was coordinated, just separate.

We moved as kids and I let my brother pick the new bathroom wall color. He chose purple and I chose a deep lavendar shade with sage green accents. My parents bought us all new towels his were purple, mine were green. *Monogrammed wall hooks or framed names or letter to designate each child's towel place would work too.

Your baby won't need the use of the bathroom for several years, but having a privacy system down pact will be necessary. Our bathroom was split- sinks separated by a door from toilet and tub/shower and if anything was vacant the doors were left wide open. * Door knockers that the other person know if that can't come in at all or don't mind if they come in.

We also had separate medicine cabinets and under sink storage. If space is at a premium, you can use shelf dividers like the ones to double pantry shelf. I had plastic bins with face stuff/hair stuff etc divided so it was easier for me to just pull out a bin and clean it up leaving the counter free.

Toys were kept in a bin next to the tub. My parents would towel dry them and put them in the bin. The new drainage toy storage systems look as if they are more hygenic.

In the linen closet you could designate shelves for each sister.
