I’ve been putting off
decluttering under the kitchen sink for ages.
But with some nice weather so I could air out the house, I decided it
was time to get this chore done!
Himself cleaned it out for me…getting
all the stuff out and giving it a good vacuuming. (He was so quick at helping me that I didn’t
get a ‘before’ shot. But this one should
give you an idea of what a ‘black hole’ it was under there!)
After emptying out the space,
I painted it with bright white Kilz.
100% better already. The
reflected light makes it easier to see in there.
Then using an idea from
Pinterest, we lined the bottom with self-stick vinyl tiles. This will make clean-ups so much quicker.
Last thing to do was to
decide what was going to go back. Cleaning
supplies were put in this caddy and the large items were put on the other
side.
It is now so much brighter
and easier to clean. I love it! I don’t know why we didn’t do it soon. In fact, we are doing the same thing under
our bathroom vanity.
Great idea on the Kilz! I might have to try it.
ReplyDeleteTerri, I love that sticky tile idea! Good work, now makes me think of what I should do.....;0
ReplyDeletevinyl tiles - great idea! thanks for sharing your 'black hole' with us.
ReplyDeleteIt's been on my To Do List forever to put stick-on tiles underneath our kitchen sink. In fact, it's been on my To Do List for so long that now I don't know what became of the tiles I bought! *Sigh*
ReplyDeleteLooks great! I put vinyl tiles under my sink last year and it was definitely an easy fix to a less than stellar vanity floor!
