I was really hoping this challenge would be coming up soon. My sink cabinet was a MESS. There was a trail of dead ants under there from... who knows when. (We have a BAD ant problem in this house.) The host of this challenge recommends putting down shelf liner and hanging door organizers, but I don't have any... and this is a rental. I'm not putting any extra money into this crap hole. Anyway, here's the "before"...
I took everything out, scrubbed down the bottom & sides of the cabinet. Then I got rid of a couple bottles of cleaner that I never use, organized all of the bottles of hand soap (I'm addicted to yummy soaps!), and lined up all the cleaners so I can find them more easily. I also removed the boxes of baggies, wax paper, and other stuff that we'd use near food... I don't know why I thought it would be a good idea to store that stuff near the poisons anyway. *smacks forehead* After a good 30 minutes, there's still a lot of stuff down there, but it's MUCH neater. Here's the "after" shot...
It looks much more organized now. I was wondering why you had food baggies under the sink. I knew someone who kept their trash can under the sink. On the door in front of the trash can there was a shelving unit to hold all the tinfoil and plastic wrap boxes. Strange.
ReplyDeleteLooks great though! I need to clean under my kitchen sink too. Plus, both bathroom sinks. Things just seem to collect under there.
I guess it would be OK to keep baggies & tin foil under the sink if I didn't have poisons down there too... This kitchen has exactly 3 drawers & 7 cabinets. A lot of the stuff that should have its' own cabinet is stuck doubling up with other stuff. When we move, a nice kitchen with STORAGE is a must!
ReplyDeleteThat looks great Danyel!! Our house has a SMALL kitchen, but a lot of storage. It's one of those crappy kitchens that is just a kitchen, you eat elsewhere. Ugh! I hate it. But the storage... wow! I'll have to take a picture and post it, once it is clean of course lol!
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of anyone keeping baggies, foil and wrap under the sink. That is interesting. I read your blog post out loud and when you said "*smacks forehead*" my mom laughed :)
