In my last post I promised we'd show you our fun idea for the kitchen sink area. Remember how filthy it used to be before Sam cleaned it up? But by the time he was done, the walls and floor beneath the sink were gleaming with glossy white paint!
I love him.
You see, the under-the-sink-area had to be cleaned up and made spiffy in order for our next project to really work out. Were you wondering what that pile of fabric on the floor in the last pic was? It was linen :) And in a few hours at my good ole sewing machine, I turned it into...
A sink skirt! I love it!!! (Please ignore the shiny brass curtain rod for the time being - thanks)
This little kitchen is finally beginning to have some personality. Even more exciting news - we ordered our bin pulls for the drawers last night! Hopefully soon I'll be showing you a few photos with the skirt's curtain rod painted to match the hinges, the last cabinet door back on (should happen tonight!), and the new bin pulls in place. Then, I think we've both decided we'd better hightail it to another room and get some painting done before the cold weather really sets in.
So, what do you think of the sink skirt? Please say something nice. It makes me smile :)

Love your kitchen. I have been toying with the idea of undertaking this project myself and after seeing your results I think I may take the plunge soon. Congrats on your leaf blower!
Thanks so much for the kind words, guys :) I'm really loving the skirt. There are no windows on that side of the kitchen (obviously), and the skirt really make up for the lack of window treatments that are normally above sinks. Helps soften up all the hard surfaces.
We spray painted the curtain rod last week. Hoping to get the bin pulls on before the weekend, then I'll post another pic!
Thanks for making it fun :)
