I detest plastic bottles of dish soap at the sink. Even though I try to put them under the sink, they end up back above the sink. I love the Chambord soap dispensers that I made for my master bath & powder rooms (I recently switched the pumps from silver to bronze to match the new decor). Why not make one for the kitchen?
Disaronno Soap Dispenser
Selecting the bottle was more of a challenge this time. The newer Chambord bottles are cheaper and not as elegant. Besides, I like more of an Italian atmosphere to my kitchen, instead of the French theme in those two baths. A Disarrono bottle was the answer, but I only had the larger bottles in my home. After a quick trip to the liquor store, I had a smaller bottle which was perfect for my kitchen. I poured the new liquor into the dwindling supply of my larger bottle (after pouring some into my glass). Then, I quickly removed the labels and plastic ring from the neck, and rinsed the bottle.
Previously I had bought pumps from BB&B and didn’t want to make a special trip. I took a bronze pump from a disposable soap dispenser and replaced the tub with a longer one (which I actually did ex post facto). It screwed on perfectly to my new dispenser. While this one is perfect for dish soap, I’d like to find a slightly smaller bottle for the kitchen hand soap
Next time, I’ll make sure that color of the dish soap actually matches my kitchen decor.
That’s such a great idea!!
Thanks!
You are so creative and now I’ll be looking at every empty bottle I come across as a possible soap dispenser. If any look half as good as yours here, I’ll be more than happy!
Hey, if the pump fits…
What a great idea. And that glass is heavy, if it drops in the sink, I doubt it will break.
Exactly!
Nice bottle! I don’t know if we can get soap pumps here besides reusing the ones from plastic bottles. I’m not sure what type of bottle I would pick…Hmmm…
That’s all you need to do to get a pump!
Yes, I have used plastic ones before. I haven’t seen any metal ones though.
My fault, it is plastic, but it’s bronze color.
You need to make one for me, I’ll even pay shipping!
Haha, I’m sure you’ll do just fine!
My mother would really like this. I now have a reason to drink a lot before my wife and I go see her.
I guess as long as your not driving. If you make one, make sure you let me know how it turns out and share pics.

Did I understand you about the plastic to bronze – Did you spray paint it?
No, I bought a disposable soft dispenser with a bronze pump (Softsoap has them).
Hey!
I wasn’t sure how to remove the plastic liquor dispencing mechanism in the neck. I was trying to crush it with a hammer. Its an older bottle with a gold ring around it too.
Help!!
Nevermind, got it with strong pliers 🙂
Awesome!
