Plan of

attack

Begin by emptying the

cabinet and finding a

new home for anything

not used in the kitchen.

Measure the space

beside and in front of

the pipes, and shop for

right-size bins and

baskets to fill it. Finally,

give all surfaces a good

scrubbing and laydown

a waterproof mat.

1 DAILY DISH

Heavy-use items, like

dish soap, get rock-star

parking in a rack

hanging on the door.

Use a soap dish

to hold a drippy brush.

A narrow two-tier

basket makes the most

of a sliver of space

beside the drain pipe.

Bonus: The top bin lifts

off and the bottom one

pulls out for easy

access. White Wire
