Rotating Canned Goods
If you’re looking for a space-saving solution for your canned goods, a rotating pantry is the way to go. With just 4 square feet, you can create a DIY can rotator that holds up to 300 pounds of cans. This pantry rotates the cans in FIFO (first in, first out) order, so you never have to worry about your cans going bad.
To make this DIY rotating pantry, you’ll need 1 3/8″ plywood, pegboard, and nine 1″x10″x8′ pine boards. Start by building the pantry in two sections for easy mobility. The transparent pegboard design allows for quick inventory checks, and the rows can be customized to fit different can sizes. This pantry is a great way to maximize vertical storage space and keep your cans organized.
DIY Canned Foods Rack
If you have a larger collection of canned goods, you might need a bigger storage solution. With this DIY canned foods rack, you can manage up to 1,000 cans. Crafted with five rows per shelf, each shelf can hold 16 standard veggie cans. You can also adapt the rack for smaller cans and adjust the widths for varied sizes. Use removable gates for diverse stocking options, and reinforce with cross members or L brackets for added stability. This DIY project is a great way to make the most of your pantry space and keep your canned goods easily accessible.
Storage Solutions for Root Cellars
If you’re lucky enough to have a root cellar, you know how important it is to have a good storage system in place. With a dynamic storage system tailored for fluctuating harvests, you can elevate your root cellar and make the most of your space.
To create a customizable storage system, you’ll need 3/4-inch plywood, 1x2s, 1x3s, 1x10s, 2x2s, wood glue, drywall screws, L-brackets, and finish nails. Slice the plywood into 16-inch strips and secure them with screws. Use a story stick to mark uniform cleat spacing and attach the cleats to the plywood. Secure the standards 24-28 inches apart and craft ventilated shelves for optimal storage. You can also assemble solid-bottom drawers and bins for additional organization. Remember to store healthy produce and clean your root cellar yearly to keep everything fresh and organized.
Introducing the Birkwood ‘Multi-Unit’
If you’re looking to add a touch of modern design to your kitchen, the Birkwood ‘Multi-Unit’ is the perfect addition. This game-changing kitchen addition combines wide cabinets with a mix of large and tiny drawers, as well as a handy cupboard right under the hob.
The combination of drawers and cupboards offers versatile storage options for all your kitchen essentials. The petite drawers are perfect for larger spice jars or stock cubes, while the bigger drawers can feature custom Birkwood plywood inserts and a touch of color. With the Birkwood ‘Multi-Unit’, you can maximize your kitchen space while adding a stylish and functional element to your kitchen design.
DIY Drawer Hacks
When it comes to organizing your kitchen, drawers are a must-have. But why settle for ordinary drawers when you can transform them into functional and stylish additions to your kitchen?
There are three DIY drawer hacks that you can try. The first is the DIY slide-out pantry. Crafted from plywood and trim, this precision drawer is designed to hold heavy items. Use pocket holes, drawer slides, and supports to create a sturdy drawer that can easily slide out for easy access.
The second drawer hack is the quick cabinet drawer fix. Using the DrawerJig by Milescraft, you can simplify the installation of sleek drawers. Craft the drawers, assemble them with the jig, and secure them with screws. This hack is perfect for those who want a quick and easy solution to upgrade their drawers.
The third drawer hack is the luxe kitchen roll-out drawers. With wood, sliders, and a Kreg jig, you can design drawers that are tailored to your cabinet sizes. Reinforce them with existing shelves and showcase the allure of plywood. These DIY drawer hacks are a great way to add functionality and style to your kitchen.
Hidden Coffee Table Hack using IKEA
If you’re a coffee lover, this hidden coffee table hack using IKEA is a game-changer. By assembling the Besta frame and inserting a shelf in the lower third, you can create a hidden storage space for your coffee supplies. Drill holes in the Lappviken door corners to fit bolts and modify the door’s top to house bolt necks. Trim the LACK table legs to size and cut slots to fit the Tessauer bolts. Optional: enhance storage with a custom drawer using a modified Lappviken drawer front. This hidden coffee table hack is a stylish and functional addition to any living room or entertainment space.
Hidden Kitchen Drawer Guide
Hidden kitchen drawers are a great way to maximize storage space in your kitchen. By utilizing the space underneath your countertops, you can create hidden drawers that blend seamlessly with your cabinets.
To create hidden kitchen drawers, you’ll need 1/8” door skin plywood and solid stock. Design a sleek 1 1/4” thick, 10” wide, and 18” deep drawer that fits into the space above your existing kitchen drawers. Mill your stock to assemble the drawer’s frame, create a 3/16” dado for splines, and add a lid using door skin plywood. Attach a handle for easy access and secure guide rails underneath your existing cutlery drawer for a smooth slide. Hidden kitchen drawers are a clever and functional way to make the most of your kitchen storage.
Slide-Out Fridge-Gap Pantry Ideas
The gap between your fridge and the wall is valuable space that can be utilized with a slide-out pantry. There are two slide-out fridge-gap pantry ideas that you can try, each with its own unique approach.
The first idea is the slide-out pantry by Boston09. This DIY project is perfect for renters and requires a 24″x48″x0.75″ board, supports, wheels, dowels, and a saw. Build the frame, add shelves, wheels, and handles for easy access. This slide-out pantry is a great way to maximize the narrow gap between your fridge and the wall.
The second idea is Amanda C’s version. This slide-out pantry requires 1″x4″x8′ boards, dowels, paint, and some extras. Adjust the design to fit your fridge size, assemble ladder-style, fix a back, secure with dowels, paint, and add wheels. This slide-out pantry is another creative solution for utilizing the space next to your fridge.
