If you are like us, you have been frustrated a time or two with the lack of organization underneath your sink. Organization is not always possible with too many essential products and insufficient room. But our quick under-the-sink storage mini-project solves the frustration. DIY beginners, in-betweeners, and professionals can successfully and enjoyably accomplish this mini-project!
Under the Sink Storage Shelf
Double the storage space under your kitchen sink with our sturdy shelf project. Cut three pieces of ¾”-thick pine boards that are 10″ wide. One long piece should be the width of your cabinet opening for the top, while two short pieces should be cut to eleven ¼” for the legs. Glue and screw the legs to the top as shown. Then, place the shelf unit in the cabinet under the sink. (If the disposal or pipe is in the way, you must cut a notch in the top.) Bingo! You can now keep more supplies within easy reach.
