Upgrade to vanity cabinet
« on: February 04, 2021, 07:44:07 pm »
Do you have the typical tall and wide cabinet behind the bathroom sink that is just under 4 inches deep? It holds tall bottles, but is basically a waste of space? I found organizers that fit and turned this unused space across the top half into worthy storage for dozens of small items.

Attached are photos of before, after, and how to build.

Basically the organizers come in various colors, and you have room for up to 4 of them. I choose 2 green and 2 black.  The 2 you put on the far sides need no modifications. The 2 in the center will need a notch filed to fit around the door latch. A fine flat metal file accomplished this in just a few minutes.

I used 2" strips of double sided 3M tape to each of the organizers on their backs to the wall. I added a 15" long piece of aluminum angle across the bottom to support them. This too was attached with doubled sided tape (see the black tape in the photo).

I still have room for tall bottles, but now all of the little stuff has a pigeon hole to call home.  I find that things are now in the same place after driving and I don't need to dig around in the back of a drawer for tweezers or whatever.

The organizers can be found here:  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B08HGQNQSD?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title#immersive-view_1612483860643

I really like that idea.  I will have to show that to my wife though I am not certain our 2350 vanity is the same size as your 2900 vanity, wondering if there would be issues for the right fit.

Do you have a special concoction for scalp treatment or maybe a teeth whitener?  Just wondering about the brake fluid.

Sorry, I couldn't resist.  :)

Lol.  roflol The brake fluid tends to leak if it falls over,,, and this seemed to be a better place than the pantry.  I'm not thrilled at keeping it here,,, but I didn't like cleaning brake fluid out of the storage compartment.

As for the hair regrowth... If you know of something... PLEASE SHARE!
