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!

Looks like both a lot of work to get the radius and at the same time, a great solution to a problem many of us have. Good Stuff.

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!

Wow! You made my day! Your comments were nice to read. I couldn’t help but to forward your comments to my three kids. Which are not so little anymore, 32 – 38 If I remember correctly! They all love my crazy ideas.
Thanks for all the nice comments from everyone!
