As a followup to this thread, these photos help complete the picture of all that is possible to upgrade your Interstate kitchen sink area. Well... it's all I have to offer that is.
The custom made round sink cover works great as a backsplash to protect the screen mesh. And it just worked out by accident that the notched cutout of the wood that holds it in place on the sink also works perfectly to keep it in place surrounding the little bar of Corian that Airstream puts on as a kind of spill splash.
You may have seen my post in Small Space Living I think it was, about my paper towel holder getting moved to underneath for storing a roll, and the upper dispenser was upgraded to a ratcheting type of holder from Bed Bath Beyond that makes tearing off a half sheet with one hand a snap.
Well, I've been holding out on you... there is also a ton of storage around the standard garbage can for bottles of whatever. I've got three bottles stored laying down around the sides of the garbage can. If you get creative you can secure a couple more standing up on the shelf where the plumbing apparatus lives. I keep the bottles laying down in place with some stick-on kitchen door/drawer bumper stops. I used a round bottle and slid/pushed the bumper into place before the sticky set up, removed the bottle, then pressed down on them. When I place an odd shaped bottle in the same location, the bumpers still work well to keep it from sliding around when you open that drawer on a slope.
Cheers!
