My Weird Draw Solution

Project by woodshaver posted 248 days ago 850 views 9 times favorited 24 comments Add to Favorites Watch

My wife and I bought this house in 2004 and the master bath came with no draws to put our personals. I though about it for a while and then one night while laying in bed I came up with this idea to Get Around The Problem. The red bottom is 3 mm PVC sign board. That’s all I had laying around the shop so I used it. When I get started on a project I can’t stop and find a way to NOT got to the store. The PVC sign board worked well for this project, saved some gas too!
Attached to the inside rail, is a small tray to store more small items.

brilliant idea, and great use of that space. the only other solution I’ve seen to use that space was a shallow rollout shelf, but your solution is far more efficient, and looks better too!

Thanks Scott
Woodworkers can be very creative. I love this site and all the ideas one can find here on Lumberjocks. I wasn’t going to post my draws because I thought they were a bit off the wall and strange. But with all the nice comments I have received I feel good about showing them off.

I love this idea! I was considering doing 2 small drawers with one large drawer face in front of my kitchen sink. It looks like your idea will provide a TON more storage space! I especially like that you utilized the center opening to drop in another little storage bin! This wins the award for coolest thing I’ve seen this month!
