Organize Under the Kitchen Sink with Dollar Tree Finds (Easy DIY Cabinet Refresh!)

I finally tackled a small but seriously overdue project this week. I finally made time to organize under the kitchen sink! 

When we painted our kitchen cabinets, we skipped the inside of the sink cabinet, thinking we’d replace it. We never did, so for the last couple of years, it’s been a bit of a mess. Every time we tossed trash or grabbed cleaner, I’d cringe.

Freshen Up the Space

I gave the cabinet interior a much-needed coat of white semi-gloss paint on the walls. Just this simple change instantly made everything feel cleaner and brighter!

For the cabinet floor, I used Dollar Tree’s black and white floral contact paper instead of paint. It’s the same paper I used in our kitchen drawers! It covers up the worn wood and adds a cheerful pop of pattern.

Organize Under the Kitchen Sink: Dollar Tree Finds to the Rescue!

I grabbed a few organizational items from Dollar Tree:

  • A small plastic caddy to corral cleaning supplies
  • A simple wire shelf to add vertical storage
  • Wire baskets for dish cloths, magic erasers, and extra supplies

I painted our simple black trashcan and the cleaning caddy with Rustoleum Hammered spray paint. It was a little bit of an experiment to try to make them look galvanized! Sadly, the sprayed plastic just looks like plain old grey…but I still think the caddy looks better than the original vibrant color it comes in! 

I actually love this little caddy! For only a dollar, it holds all the essentials for everyday cleaning.

Repurpose What You Have

A large rectangular basket from my craft room became my new recycling bin. I love when I can “shop the house” and save money.

Maximize the Cabinet Doors for Storage!

This might be my favorite part: using the cabinet doors for extra storage:

Command hooks + Dollar Tree wire baskets hold sponges and dishwasher tabs

A curtain ring clip + Command hook holds my favorite dish gloves perfectly

It makes me smile every time I open the cabinet now!
