Easy To Open Kitchen Sink Skirt

Want a farmhouse style kitchen sink skirt that functions as well as your cabinet doors? 

This one is pretty and practical. Check out this easy DIY.

Easy To Open Kitchen Sink Farmhouse Skirt in a country cottage kitchen

I've always loved the look of a skirted farmhouse sink.

It's reminiscent of a simpler time and adds so much charm and character to a cottage style kitchen. It's been on my decorating bucket list for as long as I can remember.

Unfortunately, when we replaced our faucet, we discovered that apron front drop in sinks for laminate countertops were no longer being manufactured.

Grrrr.

Monkey wrench...


However, being the stubborn Sicilian girl that I am, I refused to take no for an answer and was determined to find a way to make a skirt work without that apron front sink.

Now, you might think, ok, not such a tall order.

I've seen many bloggers and pictures of homes with standard sinks wearing cute skirts. If they could do it, so could I.

But...

Once I really started thinking about it, it wasn't as simple as adding some fabric and calling it a day. I had a lot of reservations...and a lot of requirements.

Kitchen Sink Skirt Must Haves:


First and foremost the skirt had to look good. Really, really good. I wanted to capture that authentic cottage style whimsy.

I didn't want something that looked like an afterthought, out of place, tucked under the laminate, like a bunch of fabric hanging in a modern kitchen.

Second, it had to function well. The garbage pail is under the sink and everyone is used to it being there. That wasn't going to change.

We also keep the cleaning supplies under the sink. I needed a solution that would give us easy access...as easy as we had with the cabinet doors.

Fabric on a rod doesn't always move smoothly, even with rings.

Third, it needed to be very sturdy. I have teenagers and a husband, none of whom were going to be as gentle opening and closing that curtain as I would like, no matter how many times I asked.

This is reality folks. I needed form and function.

My last requirement was that it needed to be temporary. Let's face it the kitchen is the most important room in the house when it comes to resale.

Now, I rarely, if ever, decorate with that in mind, but I didn't want to irreparably alter the cabinets.

They're in perfect shape and I wasn't willing to mess with that...cabinets are a huge investment.

*Update: I recently removed the skirt and washed it. Check out the easy how to.

A tall order, but clearly, I have a skirt. So what was my solution?

Well, it's a bit of an illusion. You see, my skirt isn't really a skirt.

It's a fake...a fraud...my sink skirt is fabric mounted on the cabinets and the doors still open.

Tricky, huh?

Now, I have a gorgeous skirt.

The doors function perfectly.

It's sturdy, nothing has been damaged and no one has to slide or push anything out of the way.

And I couldn't be happier with the way it looks.

Charm, whimsy, function. It's all there. And we didn't even scratch the cabinet doors.

So how'd I do, it? Well, this won't be a short post. If you're ready to check out now, I totally get it.

However, if you want to hang around to see the full DIY tutorial. Great.

Here we go.

Adding Farmhouse Flair To A Drop In Kitchen Sink 


The first step actually begins above the skirt.

To add a little more interest to the sink area and make the skirt look as if it wasn't just stuck there, almost as if it's a piece of furniture, we replaced the cabinet panel with a piece of moulding and painted it white.

Replacing The Cabinet Panel Below The Sink


Cottage Style Kitchen Sink Skirt

We started by removing the existing cabinet panel from underneath the sink.

It's easy to do, it's usually a piece of wood that just clips on and pulls off.

How To Remove Panel Under Sink by pulling it

You don't need to use a lot of force, just a tiny tug should do the trick.

Cabinet Panel Under Sink removed exposing a hole

To create a new panel, we perused the aisles at Home Depot until we found a simple moulding piece that fit our style and had them cut it to size for us.

At home, we removed the clips from the old piece and placed them on the back of the new moulding and popped it right back into place.

The next step took some thought.

How To Make A Cabinet Mounted Sink Skirt


Like I said, we didn't want to do anything that would permanently damage the cabinets and we needed a skirt that was very functional.

Most of the skirts I had seen online were hung either with mounted rods or tension rods.

A exterior mounted rod was going to leave screw marks. That was out.

A tension rod was going to need rings so it would open and close with ease. This was an option in theory...but not in reality.

I was afraid people would pull on it and it would fall down often.

More importantly, I didn't want to have to cut out the bars in order to make the tension rod fit.

Yes, with some work we could add them back, if we wanted to put the cabinet doors on again, but what if I got sick of the skirt in three months?

That would be a lot of work for a decor experiment.

Pssst...that didn't happen. I've actually made more skirts over the past three years.


Didn't want to cut out either bar to accommodate any tension rod text over photo of the cabinet bars

What I really needed was something like the cabinet doors, that would open and close the same way. I came across swing arm curtains rods online and thought I found my solution.

Then I read the reviews that said they drooped in the middle...and again, they mounted from outside...and I didn't want holes in the cabinet frame.

Remove The Cabinet Doors And Turn Them Upside Down


Then it hit us.

What if I turned this our cabinet doors upside down?

We could screw the curtains into the bottom of the doors and if we wanted them again, we'd turn them right side up, and they'd be perfect once again.

Genius.

So literally, we removed the doors, flipped them upside down and swapped their places, so we didn't have to move the hinges, and screwed them back into the existing holes.

Now, it was time to make the skirt. 

That part was simple.

I basically made two rod pocket panels, using the exact same process as when I skirted my living room table.

Mount The Skirt on Wooden Dowels


Instead of curtain rods, I used wooden dowels and gathered the skirt panels on them.

I used 3/8' dowels and cut each rod about an inch longer than the door. 

I chose that size wood because it matched the thickness of the cabinet and it filled the space between our new wood panel and the door.

Round Wooden Dowels

I wanted a bit of an overhang in between the doors, so the fabric would overlap and hide the fact that it was two separate panels.

Staple The Fabric In Place


Once I had the drape I liked, I used a staple gun to secure the skirt in place. I only used two staples, each one was about an inch from the end.

That allowed me to adjust the ruffle in between, keeping it loose and flowy-looking, and anchored on the dowel at the same time.

Update! On my latest skirt, I didn't use the staples. I just gathered the fabric on the rod between the two anchoring nails. Worked much better.

Securing Fabric On Wooden Dowel with a staple gun

Fasten The Sink Skirt To The Cabinet Door


To attach the rod to the cabinet door, we used two tiny finishing nails.

They went right through the fabric, the wooden dowel and into the cabinet.

Attaching A Fabric Panel To Cabinet Door with a small finishing nail

Hot Glue The Ends In Place


Since the skirt sits right next to drawers and a dishwasher, I did add a drop of hot glue in a few places to make sure it doesn't move too much and get caught in either.

Apply Hot Glue To Secure Sink Skirt along the side of the cabinet

And that was it.

I wish putting the sink in was that easy!

If I get tired of the look or we need to put the cabinets back, no problem.

We just remove the dowel, flip the cabinets right side up and screw them back in place.

No harm, no foul and no one will be any the wiser that there are two tiny holes in the bottom of each.

  2. This is genius Kim. What a great idea. Now you have me thinking about my cabinets under my sink! Hmmmmmm! I will have to find pre made skirt since I do not own a sewing machine and probably would have a hard time even sewing a straight line lol! Love that you used two coordinating fabrics too. Super sweet. You go girl this is fabulous.

    1. Thank you, Kris! This one was a tough one to figure out. The kitchen sat without cabinet doors for a couple of weeks while I pondered my options. I have to say I love it and it stands up to the kids, their friends and hubby. And thanks for noticing my two fabrics. That was not an easy job for this very mediocre seamstress!! Ha! xoxo

    3. You definitely could use a premade curtain. I would recommend you look for kitchen tiers since they usually come in shorter sizes. The other option is to use a fabric iron on hemming tape. You could totally create a rod pocket with that or even fabric glue. Lots of options without a stitch! I hope it works out for you and thanks for the comment!

    1. Hey Nancy! Thank you so much! I think if you cut the tiniest slits in the top of the fabric you could use small screws to secure it instead of nails and then you could easily take it on and off to swap out the fabric. Of course, you know me...red...red...red, so mine aren't going anywhere! 😉

  12. This is so cute and clever---glad you gave us a close up of the skirt, I thought it was simple cotton but its a lot more durable. I love the whole look. I have one question. I never wanted to keep the trash can under the sink because I knew it would be hit or miss and I'd constantly be on my hands and knees cleaning up a mess in a dark cabinet. Do you have this problem?

    1. Thanks Jane! I'm so happy with the way it turned out, and yes, it's upholstery fabric. Very sturdy. It's also a busy pattern to hide messy spots...but so far there aren't any! 🤞 Our garbage pail has always been under the sink because in these tiny cottages floor space is valuable real estate! Occasionally, there's a miss, but more often than not, they make it. And it's great right under the sink...pulls out and everything!

  17. Oh, Kim, I love it and darn, that Kris, she is so smart to spot the different fabrics. I had to go back and look because I didn't see that at first. I love that fabric too. We removed our doors and I used a tension rod so didn't have to make any holes. Only problem was I made my sleeve so it just barely fit around the rod so was too tight to move to adjust, which I always had to do. Also we stashed the cupboard doors under our bed and when the dog gets scared that is where he always heads so I didn't want to get them scratched, so down came the skirt and back went the cupboard doors. I may make another as I really do love that look and your's is so pretty and does your cottage proud..xxoJudy

And thanks for noticing my mixed fabrics. I couldn't make up my mind so I went with both! xoxo

  25. H! So how do you open the doors? Do you grab the end of the dowel rod? The curtain? Will the curtain soil from dirty hands?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Hi Liberty, thanks for the question. We've always all used our foot to open the door when our hands are wet and dirty, so we just do the same. The wood on the cabinets wears poorly when in contact with water and no one ever grabbed the knob, so it's habit at this point. However, a lot of the time we do just grab the top of the door and swing it open. It's stayed very clean, but I would assume that eventually it will need to be washed and I'll just pop the dowels off and send it to the cleaners in one piece. Thanks for comment! ☺️

  34. We just refinanced our home and with the cash back I told my husband to buy a new lawn mower and put a concrete drive in. Our driveway is about 1000 feet so it will cost a lot. It’s gravel now, which I hate. In the meantime the kitchen faucet started spewing water and the plumber said it needed replacing. Ok so to save some expense, hubby changed it out himself after learning what the problem was, but before he did he said to me why don’t we just get a cheap one for now and you can take the cash and remodel the kitchen like you want to. DID ANY WIFE EVER SAY NO TO THAT SUGGESTION? LOL
    ANYWHO...I have always had the curtained sink in my plan and am so excited to finally get what I want. I love yours so very much! It’s just timeless. Would you mind sharing the name of the fabrics used? I also love how you put them on because to be honest I love the look that you have because I’m really not all that fond of the farmhouse sinks of today. If I ever did get a farmhouse sink it would be a true antique. I also love your home very much!

I patched them together and I should probably do a post about that...someday! I picked them up at JoAnn Crafts, they were 50% off. I know they also sell them online. And I agree, the antique farmhouse sinks are fabulous. I wish you luck with your projects and if you do remodel your kitchen, I hope you'll share it with us!! Have a great afternoon!!

    2. When we do remodel, I will definitely try to remember to send you an update. Actually I’m not sure that my husband has ever done plumbing before but after calling a plumber and finding out what the actual problem was he just took it upon himself to put it in. I’m glad he did because that saved us a good deal of money but he actually just wanted our warranty company to handle it, only to find out faucets aren’t covered under our plan. Long long story but we will be looking for a new warranty co. So anywho...thank you for letting me know what fabric this is. I am totally in love with both of them! Oh and about the “handy hubby”...he’s very handy at running the remote, anything else...no not so much! I generally do it all myself unless I can’t.

  36. Love love love that curtain! I've been wanting a farmhouse sink and skirt for like FOREVER and was wracking my mind on just how to do it.... curtains on rings? Nope, we have a kitty who'd be inside the cabinet licking the Ajax! And what if my new grandbaby came to visit from out of state? He'd probably be licking Ajax along side Mr. Kitty! So then my next thought was how to attach it to the doors and bingo... I love your idea!

    Unfortunately I also happen to live with someone with huge piggy (news print, etc.) hands, who also happens to slop coffee, coffee grounds, etc. all down the front of my cabinets (he also trips over his size 12s, so not really piggy, just BIG and clumsy). For this to work for me, I'd also need to be able to remove the curtains to wash at least every other week or so. So, I think I've come up with the perfect solution (for me). I think I'll put in small button holes and use little screws with washers for easy, no tear removal.

    Thanks for the great idea, your whole sink area looks absolutely fabulous! I absolutely love your idea for the faux apron sink look and will be stealing that idea as well!

  39. Thanks so much for your super kind words! I'm glad you like it, it's worked out very well for us. I've swapped it out once and just bought fabric for yet another version. So you can customize it again and again. I used a 3/8 inch dowel, since it fit perfectly in the space between the cabinet and the upper board. It was also roughly the same thickness as the cabinet. Yours may vary. Hope that helps and good luck. If you make one I hope you'll share it. I'd love to see. ☺️

    1. Hi! Thanks, glad you like this one...and yes, I have been trying to come up with a way to attach that skirt in a less permanent manner so I can swap it and wash it easier. Right now, to be honest, I pull the nails out and wash the skirt and then put it all back together again. It's time consuming, but it does work.
