Organizing the cabinet under the kitchen sink

August 19, 2013 by Erin Heaton

Organizing the cabinet under the kitchen sink was one of those projects I had been putting off forever. I might have even taken “before” photos a couple of years ago with good intentions of tackling it then. But who really wants to organize the cabinet under the sink? Plus, I couldn’t really decide what to do and what sort of organizational storage I needed. Indecision and procrastination are buddies at my house.

But I could never seem to find what I was looking for down there even though it was often right in front of me. Something had to be done.

I am shocked to admit that all it took to make this space a lot more manageable was a couple of plastic drawer units from Target. (And relocating some of the more rarely used cleaning tools. That window squeegee certainly sounded like a good idea once upon a time.)

That’s it. It was a stroke of luck that the drawers fit perfectly in my smallish cabinets (especially since I forgot to measure the cabinet door openings before shopping). Still can’t believe it was actually that easy. Small victories.

This drawer corrals all the loose items like cat treats, water filters and magic erasers and the other drawer holds cleaning rags. Everything finally has a home!
