DIY Kitchen Plate Stand + Hand Soap Giveaway from Mrs. Meyer’s

There’s something about the smells of fall that make this season so distinguishable. Burning leaves. Hot apple cider. Pumpkin pie. One whiff and your nose knows…it’s fall!

That’s why I was super excited to find out that my favorite hand soap from Mrs. Meyer’s had come out with a brand new line of fall-scented soaps this year! The 2 featured scents, Apple Cider and Mum, are so pleasant you’re gonna be going all “Molly Shannon” on smelling your hands! 🙂 They really do smell that good!

I placed a recent online order through Grove Collaborative – formerly EPantry – and was so excited to get to try out these hand soaps in both my kitchen and my bathroom this fall. You can read all about why I love using this company and their eco-friendly products in a post I wrote back in March here. 

But first, I want to share with you a cute little DIY up-cycled kitchen plate stand that I created to accompany this awesome smelling soap.

I wanted to create a simple plate stand that could hold my current kitchen sink “ammo” when it comes to tackling my dishes & counters – dish soap, hand soap, vinegar cleaner, sponge & veggie brush.

I really like this cute little round bamboo veggie brush I added to my order from Full Circle. It’s made from recycled plant fiber bristles and at only $4.99 it was too good a deal to pass up.

My go-to spot for almost all my up-cycling projects is Goodwill. Everything is so reasonably priced and many things I find there are still in excellent condition, they just need to find a new home and a new purpose.

I found a simple white ceramic rectangular plate and a solid brass candle stick holder at my local Goodwill for $1.50. Total! Can’t beat that! I painted the candle stick holder with grey chalk paint, then sealed it with a coat of clear wax so it wouldn’t matter if it got wet sitting next to my kitchen sink.

Then I attached the ceramic plate on top of the candle stick base using some metal bond adhesive, and voila! Simple plate stand complete! Now my soaps are nice & elevated, away from counter clutter, plus easy to reach when I’m hard at work at the kitchen sink.

Right now Grove Collaborative is offering a really fantastic promotion for you to get a free Mrs. Meyer’s hand soap and $10 off* your first order, plus free shipping. *You will need to place a minimum of $30 worth of product in your cart in order to receive the $10 off.
