{DIY} Kitchen Sink Stand

I was on Pinterest one day, and came across a cute idea--a cake stand by the kitchen sink to hold soap, lotion, sponges, and so on.  I thought this was pretty brilliant considering how all those things are usually a mess, lined up behind the sink.  However, I didn't really want to pay $X for a cake stand to be used like this.  I decided, instead, to walk around Dollar Tree to see what I could come up with.  I found a plate that was quite similar to the ones we have (see picture) and a "glass" candle stick.   The cost of this project was a whopping $2 plus tax.

The "original" plate is on the right (salad size) and the Dollar Tree knock-off is on the left.

Here you see the candlestick, which I spray painted a hammered metal brown of some sort (I already had the spray paint!)

Ta-da!  (Yes, that's a baby bottle brush...they work well on other bottles (ex. Nalgene) too!)
