Flashback: Make Your Own Kitchen Storage

April 16, 2013 By Shannah 1 Comment

I’m prepping for Snap! and spending some much needed time with my little family.  In place of dead air {screen?}, I thought it would be fun to share a few of my favorite posts from the past.  Today, I’m sharing the my make your own kitchen storage project.

Do you remember the cake stand I made and re-purposed to store all of my kitchen soaps? Here it is in all of its loveliness

Well, as cute as it is, it elicits nothing but complaints from Mathlete because he thinks it is too tall and he says he knocks it over all the time. I hear enough complaining from the kids so I decided to fix it.
This one is made out of Terra cot planters pots versus a candlestick and plastic plate.

I knew I wanted the same general color scheme as the last one (I loved that one after all) so I grabbed some of my extra test paint in the turquoise (thanks home depot for the $.50 pot!), some white paint and my glue.

It took a couple of coats for each color to get it all covered Actually, you can still see some of the Terra cotta coming through on the base but I think I like it that way {or I convinced myself I did so I didn’t have to paint another coat…tomato/tomahto).

Once everything was dry, I put the glue on the rim of the base and stuck them together. I usually set a pot or heavy book on top and leave it to dry over night. Now, it’s all dry and ready for Mathlete’s gorilla hands action.

You can see from this angle that I didn’t bother to paint the inside of the base.

All settled in by the sink and full of the soaps.

Fixed any sink soap dilemmas recently? Made anything neat with Terra cotta pots? I’d love to hear about!

****************************************

I hope you enjoyed this little blast from the past!  We are still using the storage plate and it {thankfully} hasn’t tipped over at all!
