We then attached the two side boards for the counter to the front board using our handy kreg jig to keep them tightly together. Then we measured from the wall to the front board we just made and cut some 1”x4” boards for the sides. Then we clamped down this board and used our jigsaw to cut out the piece so the board would fit right around the corners. (This is only necessary if you have rounded corners like we had) My dad laid on the ground and drew the lines as I kept everything straight and in place. We laid a 1” x 6” board horizontally across the entire front, overlapping the top of the sink in order to draw where we would need to cut out to go around the corners of the sink. We created the folding counter with a waterfall side that would become the sink side too, so all I needed was the front planks. I did not need to plan either of the sides. Take a look at your sink and decide if you need to do the sides. Anchors and screws (only if there are no studs where you need to put the cleats)įirst you need to plan.1″x 6″ board (only one for the front counter surround).So instead of trying to figure something out as we went along, we had a definite plan that would work perfectly with this space! To create your very own utility sink surround just follow the tutorial below! Luckily, Vicki woke up in the middle of the night and came up with a fabulous plan! She came over to work on it with a drawing and everything! The weekend before the challenge was due to wrap up we decided to just dive in and create something for the sink. So we continued work on the laundry room, leaving that darn utility sink until the end. We toyed with a couple of different ideas at first, maybe fabric, maybe building a makeshift cabinet out of some leftover plywood…but nothing seemed quite right. We knew we just had to cover up that ugly little thing but didn’t know how! Here is the story of how we created this stylish surround for our utility sink makeover At the beginning of the month, we came up with the laundry room design, but couldn’t think what to do for the utility sink. Last month for the $100 Room Challenge we restyled Kristen’s Laundry room with only a budget of $100 (like the title suggests).
