Sink Skirt

Hello everyone!

I wanted to share an easy project that I did over the weekend.  I've been wanting to do this for a very long time, and finally got around to it.  I love how it turned out. 

First, I must share the "before" picture.

Now, here is the "after" picture!

Do you like it?!  It was very easy to do.  I had all of the materials on hand, so it didn't cost me a dime.  I love when I can say that!  Ha! 

I just took a drop cloth and cut it to the measurements of my cabinet opening (double the width for gathering) and then hemmed that.  Then I hemmed an opening at the top for the spring rod.  I ironed it and after removing the cabinet doors, I simply hung it up!  Easy Peasy!!

Here is a close-up.

Most of the time, I see these done under apron front sinks.  I originally wanted one of those when we had our granite counters installed, but later learned that it required our cabinetry to be altered.  So, I decided against it.  However, having this skirt under my sink is the next best thing!

I like how it softens the hard lines of the cabinets.  My husband even likes it!  I didn't expect that from him, but when he said it looked old-fashioned, I knew I had hit the mark!  Score!

To see where I got all of my inspiration for this, you can go check out these blogs and look at their sink skirts.  I think mine is a pretty close match.  If you don't already visit these blogs, get ready to stay there awhile.  There is soooo much eye candy!
