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. 😉
