Organizing Week 8 - Kitchen Sink Base

I know you think I'm holding out on you with my linen closet but I am SOOO not!!  It is still not finished!  Let me just say, "painted wallpaper", "wallpapered ceiling" and worst of all "painted, wallpapered, ceiling of plaster" should NEVER be used in the same sentence, much less the same CLOSET!!!  That is what I have been dealing with and I'm getting tired of it!!  I do see the light at the end of the tunnel thankfully, and so while you're waiting, I'm showing you what I did under my kitchen sink when I couldn't bear to look at my linen closet mess!!!
My kitchen sink base was looking pretty bad and not living up to it's full potential.
I had this cute (not for the kitchen), princess box holding my towels.  I moved my towels to the island...(like 3 months ago) and never got rid of this box.  Out it goes.  The oatmeal container that was in here holds my homemade dishwasher soap tablets.
I used the recipe from Lady With The Red Rocker and really like them.
I emptied out everything else and put back only what I use.
I had these little plastic boxes from another project so I just reused them here.  I downloaded and printed labels for the boxes.
They add a little color under the sink and it's always nice to have things labeled.

I'm hanging my cleaning products on a simple suspension rod.

TaaDaa!!
The organizing process is really coming along and things are starting to come together around here.  Isn't so nice to be organized??
Blessings,

My Mama used to say, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all."
I'll add, "If you HAVE something nice to say, share generously."
