I’ve got a quick Pinterest review for you today!
I pinned this photo of a cake stand on the side of the sink a long time ago. It’s caption was: “Use a cake stand to hold soap and sponges, instead of leaving them on the edge of the sink.” Brilliant! Turns out, the source of the photo – Natalme – was actually showing off a recent kitchen remodel. But the idea is still genius!
We use a dish wand to do dishes, which tends to get especially gunky when it’s set down. It’s been great to keep it up on this cake stand (which I found on clearance at Home Goods!) and off the edge of the sink. The rest of our kitchen is really old and dated without any kind of a color scheme, so I just got the blue stand because I liked it…but someday (in the next house), I’m looking forward to actually decorating our kitchen! And then I can find a cake stand that’s a great accent to the rest of the room, like the source photo above. But in the meantime, this is a very functional solution to keep the edge of the sink a little bit neater!

Ha! I think that was one of my first pins and I’ve been looking for a clearanced cake stand or supplies to make my own ever since! I’m glad it works so well for you! I want a stand a little higher like the photo to give us more counter space in our tiny kitchen.
Thanks for the review!

It was one of my first pins, too! :-) I am still on the lookout for a taller cake stand, too…but we are *hopefully* moving soon, so I’ll probably hold off until I know what our new kitchen will look like! But this one is fine in the meantime (and was a price I couldn’t pass up!)
I’m pretty obsessed with Home Goods so I don’t doubt the price was fantastic! Isn’t that place the greatest?
