Extra Drawer storage
Posted: Sat Sep 15, 2018 2:47 pm
I reckon we all need more drawers in our m/hs than they are fitted with.
Here's how we tripled the storage in one drawer.
Everyone has a 'third drawer down'...
Top drawer: Cutlery
Second drawer: Cooking utensils
Third drawer: Odds & sods used occasionally.
And it's usually a shambles.
We measured our drawers and found a plastic cutlery insert of the right size. I trimmed the long sides so it would drop in and clear the drawer frame, while remaining on top of the drawer sides. This created a sliding carrier for the more frequently used and smaller items. As a bonus, the plastic insert came with a sliding insert of its own... so we have an insert in an insert in the drawer, which has a larger cutlery insert to organise the larger items!
( Are you still with me?)
