I just love a good soap pump. I want a big puddle of soap in my hand with just ONE press. I don’t like standing there pumpin’ all day for just a little dime size amount. Weird, yes.
These were olive oil bottles at one time. I took to spout out and replaced them with the pumps from my industrial-sized Costco shampoo bottles.
Problem: wet hands + soap bubbles = slime all over the counter.
I tried putting a plate underneath but the bottles just didn’t fit quite right.
2 years ago a tile store gave me this sample of marble when I was trying to convince my husband to replace the tile around our fire place with this.
The marble tile fit nice and snug in plate.
Now the water can drain off the tile on to the plate.
$.029 thrift store dish.
Soap, bubbles and water all contained.
Simple pleasure. Happy.
