109 Organizing Under the Kitchen Sink

I have no idea how it happened, but this past week was one of those blink-and-it-is-over type of weeks.  All of the sudden it was Friday morning and I was hit with the realization that I hadn't organized one single thing all week.  The horror right? 

As far as our kitchen goes, the good news is that we have begun installing trim, toe kick and moulding!  I am hoping to have a full kitchen update for y'all very soon; we definitely needed to step back and take a small break to troubleshoot a few issues that have come up as we near the end of the renovation.  One problem is in regards to a major appliance/kitchen island snafu... We also have some cabinet moulding decisions to make and the Mr. and I are not seeing eye-to-eye.  We appreciate you hanging in there as we work through some of those detailed decisions that we just don't feel comfortable rushing.

This week when I took a look at my giant Home To-Do List, I picked something that I knew I could accomplish quickly, something that would keep me excited about the kitchen, and something that would help us out during our day-to-day routine.  I decided to tackle the cabinet under the kitchen sink.


Although our kitchen was far from finished, we needed to reclaim our guest room a few months back.  All of our kitchen belongings that were temporarily being stored in the guest room, were brought back out to the kitchen and the boxes were unloaded in a single evening.  When we came up with our initial cabinet design, I made sure to assign every last pot, pan, appliance and gadget a home.  This made quickly unpacking our items fairly painless, however, nothing more was ever done.  Many of the cabinets have since been in a state of chaos and waiting for that special touch, under the kitchen sink included.


Majority of the items under the sink are things we use to clean our entire main level.  There were also a few items that were brought up from our cleaning cabinet for a single use and then tossed below the sink instead of being returned to the proper home.  Paper bags were acting as our recycling bin, and things were always getting lost in the back of the cabinet.  It was time for a little organizing action.

Step one, empty it out!


My initial impulse was to reach for some shelf liner I had on hand...


But the pattern was a little busy and the lack of color left me looking for a different option.


I found some gift wrap (purchased from HomeGoods) and knew it was more more fitting for my love of color happy organizing.  I also knew that once things were placed back into the cabinet, that the boldness of the paper would simmer down a bit.

To ensure the gift wrap would be easy-to-clean and hold up to heavy daily traffic, I covered it in clear contact paper.  Read more about this process here.


As I was emptying out the cabinet, I jotted down a list of everything that I needed to store, as well as the ideal way to do so.  One thing I realized right away is that I wasn't taking advantage of the cabinet doors.  Also, I have been wanting to find a second caddy to corral cleaning items as I have been enjoying keeping house chore supplies on both levels of our home.  The entire cabinet needed to be purged down, items needed a specific home, and a few labels would be useful in keeping the entire family on the same page.


I began by addressing the items we utilize daily to clean the counters and wash our dishes; we use a combination of dish cloths, scrubbers and sponges.  Because these items become wet during use, they needed to be stored in a location that would allow them to dry, without damaging the interior of the cabinet. 


I found an acrylic spice rack at The Container Store, and thought I would give it a try.  It ended up being the perfect solution because it is easy to clean and extremely light weight.  I was able to use a couple heavy duty clear Command Strips to hang the organizer on the inside of the door, and now our daily tools are always within arm's reach, yet keep the sink area clutter free (and I can think of 1,589 other places I would love to add these charming little gems).


I also appreciate that the spice rack pairs beautifully with the clear stacking drawers we had used in our previous kitchen setup.


I removed the jumbled mess of cleaning rags from the drawers, and washed/re-folded all of our dish cloths and towels.  I also added some vinyl labels to the faces of the drawers to keep things orderly down the road.

On top of the drawers I added our wet-sack to hold our dirty/damp used rags that are waiting for wash day.


HomeGoods came through for me in my quest for a second caddy to corral our daily cleaning supplies. 


The caddy is large enough to hold a variety of items; everything from our hand sweeper and dusters to rags and cleaners.

When selecting items to use for storage and organization, the number one requirement was that they had to be easy to keep clean/wipe down.  I also tried to select items that would be versatile should our needs for the cabinet ever change (which I really don't see happening in this case).  A simple clear tray holds our extra soaps for the dishwasher, sink and fruits/vegetables.


Our pull-out recycle bin didn't fit in our new cabinet because the new sink is fantastically larger and deeper.  I searched high and low for an alternative pull-out trash option but came up short.  It is totally worth it to have the deeper sinks though, so I just stayed with a very basic bin that also received some vinyl labeling love.


I put the other cabinet door to work holding our paper towel roll and dish-washing gloves.


The paper towel holder is extremely light, and was also attached to the cabinet with a Command Strip.  I am not ready to screw holes into our new cabinet doors just yet, not even for the sake of organization.  And although I didn't end up storing our food wrap boxes inside the cabinet doors for long, I did want to re-use the dowel and hooks for my dish-washing gloves.  I just wrapped the dowel in some vinyl to protect the wood from wetness.

And suddenly I had myself the happiest cabinet in our kitchen!


No organization project is complete without a before and after to celebrate:



And a quick recap of our under-the-kitchen-sink essentials:



Aside from a little product sourcing/shopping, the entire project took about an hour (planning, cleaning, lining, organizing, Command hooking, labeling and admiring).  Not bad for one of the busiest cabinets in the entire kitchen. 

Now that I am feeling accomplished again, I can get back to fun in the sun with the kiddos.  I mean, back to installing trim and moulding.... sigh...

  26. I am curious about your dirty rag storage. How long do they sit before wash day? How do you avoid mold and mildew on the wet or damp rags? I want to follow your lead, but this is slowing me down. Thank you.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I wash mine once per week and have never had any issues with mildewing or molding inside of the wet sack. The sack seems to prevent that from happening (I have no idea if that is accurate so I can't guarantee that but I have found rags keep longer in the wet sack than when I use to toss them in an open container prior). I keep a sack under all of my sinks now for cleaning rags, and have been loving the ease for quite some time now.

      Delete
    2. You don't find that they smell like stagnant water? I find if I don't wash my rags every few days, they start to get funky & even after a wash, they still stink!

      Delete
    3. I will try the wet sack, since I really want to cut down on the number of paper towels I use. It's amazing how many you go through during a cleaning session. Thanks!

      Delete
    4. I just use a small plastic garbage can in the laundry area. We are all on one level so this may be more difficult if you are in a larger home, but I drape the damp cloths over the edge and throw them in once they are dry. I wash with white Ts and socks weekly.

I use sponges to keep the sink area clean and rags for any other cleaning tasks.

  44. Good Afternoon! We just went through some kitchen renovation and lost quite a bit of storage in upper cabinets. So I really love this post for ideas to take advantage of below our sink area . . . We have occasionally had drips/leaks from our water filter (installed under sink). Since I had some sort of shelf lining paper that had 'scratched' and then got wet underneath, I was looking for something super sturdy in case we ever have a leak again. We ended up using white peel/stick floor tiles we found on clearance at home depot! They are easy to clean and we love how easy it is to 'slide' things out from the cabinet. Just an FYI.

    1. I am sorry to hear that and am definitely willing to discuss my posting frequency in more detail.

      Summers are always more challenging because I have three busy boys home all day, every day with me. I just can't/won't parent from behind a computer screen full time as they are growing so quickly and my days with them are precious. My husband works full time, contracts out on the side and also is active with the boys and their nightly sports, so the amount of time he can lend to help during the summer is also limited. I do not do sponsored content, so every post you get from me is from my heart, and driven by the things we are doing around our home when we have the time to do them. My income is also primarily provided from my Etsy shop, which takes time and requires my attention as well.

      I have learned in the past that forcing content just to increase my posting frequency, only causes me to waste money, reader's trust and leaves me feeling yucky. I simply can't post a new DIY project or tutorial 3-5 times per week.

      Thank you for the feedback. I always take every last comment to heart. Feel free to email me if you would like to elaborate in regards to your feelings about the actual content I am creating... And if you have recommendations for specific post topics you are looking for that are not generic, I am happy to listen to those as well.

    1. Thanks Riv! I believe I used one that was rated to hold up to 5 lbs. Most Command Strip packages state the weight recommendations, and if you are looking for things to hold even more, the Picture Hanging strips can take on quite a bit of weight. Just be sure to clean the surfaces with rubbing alcohol first, I found that really does make a difference.

  59. Cleaning the kitchen after every meal is made so much more fun and easy like this! We have a wet bucket instead of a wet bag, so i can just throw it in the dishwasher while all the rags are washing (plus it holds a little more and doesn't mildew). But I love how cute your wet bag is! Since we rent, I'm going to have to find an over the cabinet holder for the sponges, but I love the idea of keeping them clean and in view right at the door!

      That's correct I just use the sticky portion of the Command Strip and not the actual hook (strip is affixed to both the cabinet and the back of the organizers). You can purchase just the strips in multi-packs, and some are able to hold more weight. Picture hanging strips are also a great option for heavier items.

      xoxo!

  64. Hi Rayven! I made the lettering myself using vinyl paired with my Silhouette Die Cutting craft machine. The machine can cut a variety of materials, and all of the fonts you have loaded on your computer are compatible with the software.

    1. Hello!

      The tray is from The Container Store: http://bit.ly/2CanNpu, but you can also find something similar and less expensive by searching the frame department at Michaels: http://www.michaels.com/acrylic-box-frame-basics-by-studio-decor/M10118653.html?dwvar_M10118653_color=Clear#pmpt=qualifying&srule=price-low-to-high&sz=24&start=65

    2. Hello,
      I was wondering what size your acrylic drawers are. I went on the container store site and there are a few options. Thank you!!

    3. I used their smallest size under our sink (http://bit.ly/2DEKVPj), however, I always recommend to measure your particular area, I think all sizes would work really well for a variety of under sink storage needs. :)

    1. Hi Kelly,

      I believe I used one of the heavy duty Command Strips that are intended for exterior use (waterproof and more durable). I also made sure it could hold the weight of paper towel plus considered the force we may put onto the holder. I just adhered the strip to the cabinet and the back of the holder and it has stayed put great for the past couple of years. :)
