Isn't it just a beauty!?! And actually, this is just the first of three that he recently built and installed. He was able to whip this out in a matter of a couple of evenings (yes, that was after years of asking LOL!). Now, I don't have a tutorial for this but The Family Handyman does have a pretty good one. My hubby had built several of these out in his garage cabinets. I know that got done first, huh!?! And was fairly comfortable with this build.
Of course, I couldn't be happy with three the same. They are each different in size and function, but the construction was basically the same. I want to note here that as you can see in the picture he cut the center post out. We installed these counter tops ourselves and know that they are very sturdy. If you were going to do the same I would suggest checking with some tuts and seeing their recommendations.
Now, on with our tour!
This one was built specifically to accommodate my Kitchen Aid and Soda Maker. It is so wonderful to have a place to put them that they fit so comfortably. I would eventually like to have one of those swing out shelves, but I've been told they are fairly expensive and then my Soda Maker wouldn't fit. Speaking, of money. These slides can get rather expensive but we were able to pick most of ours up at the ReStore for next to nothing. Just make sure that they are heavy duty enough to support whatever you may want to put in your cabinet as well as that they slide easily and freely.
And them came the piece de resistance!!!(okay, maybe I'm not sure how to spell that, you get the jist)
My under sink has always been a disaster area and you could never find anything! Not anymore! Now I can actually pull it out and see what is in there. Believe it or not, I had three Jet Dry type product in there and have been using vinegar for month because I thought I was going through it to fast! Heck, I wasn't even putting it in UGH! We decided to stick with the wire baskets that I already had in there but hadn't worked as well as I had hoped. Then we added more small wire baskets that I had picked up. The ones on the left are from Ikea, I had been using them in my bathroom but sacrificed them for the kitchen. The one on the right came from the Container Store. They had a big sale back at the beginning of the year and I had picked it up then.
I hope you enjoyed a little visit to my latest life's joy! Please, feel free to leave a comment!
