WARNING: This will be the ugliest photography you have and will ever see on my site. (And that’s saying a lot for my novice photography skills!)
I couldn’t shoot this area of the kitchen very well because it’s deeeep in the corner with all the beautiful windows above the sink! However, I posted it because I KNOW there has to be other people out there with these unfortunate corner kitchen sinks. I do not have a before shot of this ‘situation’ but I will tell you that nothing was accessible without something else falling over and leaking everywhere! The game changer:
This is my new favorite kitchen addition (besides the automatic pantry light when we open the door…I know…my husband is a genius.) I want at least 2 more but would like about 7 more throughout the house! Only problem is, their a bit steep. The best thing about these drawers is that they come in many different sizes and shapes to fit your space!
Here’s the odd corner sink. See all the wasted space? See how easy it would be to just put stuff in there and only be able to access the front row?!
We had installed the wrap holder a few years ago (with wood brackets so the screws would not go through the thin cabinet fronts.) It’s an ok solution but I will be adding a second one to our pantry door for ziplock bags because there’s just not enough room under the sink.
The right side of the sink has our dish dryer and counter top cleaning products. You’ll also see our ‘oops’ for this project. The first time my husband installed it, he did not account for the fact that our cabinet has a TINY lip on the front edge. The first time we slid the drawer out to test it, the veneer got scrapped off. It was a quick fix though. He uninstalled the drawer and put some small shims under to lift it the slightest bit and it no longer scrapes the edge! I need to go over it with one of my walnut markers to fill in the color but I wanted you to be able to see what had happened.
The items we keep under the sink are solely kitchen related, mainly for cleaning.
- Sponges
- Disposal freshening beads
- Drain stoppers
- Fertilizers for my kitchen plants
- Stainless steel cleaner and Bar Keeper’s Friend for our white counter tops
- Trashbags
- Dishwasher soap
- Dishwasher rinse aid
All in all, no super WOW factor going on but the usage factor is WOW for me! Anyone else have a strangely shaped cabinet they’ve been re-organizing over and over? Anyone else use Bar Keeper’s Friend?! It’s amazing, right?! I’ll leave you with this shot that’s above my sink. Much cuter. 😉
I have the same sink situation without your cute windows.
We have a house built in 1959.
Horrible cabinets with tiny doors and even tinier openings.
We have a reverse osmosis system where you have your pullout rack.
We store extra filters in the back corner.
I ended up using a small lazy Susan to the right of the pipes and store rags to the left.
That works!! Those corner cabinets are always so tricky, especially when you first live there. I’m glad you found a solution.
I put in an angle sink base cabinet. It gets rid of the 2 worst cabinets in one. The other corner is like the top photo, and I put mixing bowls, baking dishes and colanders. The one that we got rid of was a true blind cabinet, not like the photos above It had one door, and went back behind the other cabinet in the corner.
Oh that first set would be SO frustrating! Corner cabinets are so tricky already.
What does the counter top look like where the sink sits? Something is odd about mine. It’s either the faucet or the install of the sink.
Hi Joanne! I am no longer living in that home or I would take a photo for you. It was a pentagon shape so the top point went to the corner of the kitchen where I had a bunch of plants (it was really deep and I had two windows in that corner so it had great light). The ‘corner’ had a flat edge where I stood at the sink. Let me know if that makes sense.
