Just a tip for pots and pan lids: Sometimes you can invert them on the pot/pan, and keep the right lid with the right pot. And in some cases, store smaller pots or pans on the lid.

Found it! LOL
I've gotta hand it to ya.
A man who, not only makes his own storage solutions, but would also crawl into a base cabinet to make his point deserves a 'subscribe'.

Instead of the 2x4 at the back of the drawer, you could extend the sides of your organizer and have that be the stop. Then you have 1 extra area for a larger item like a long lighter!

The "before" on the junk drawer was organized enough to be many people's "after"! But this "after" was amazing and the "I don't have any unused space in my drawers - you know what I mean" comment was worth watching the whole video to the end! Classic!

When you climbed into the cabinet, I could so relate. Upvote totally earned.

Why I like a kitchen with mostly drawers instead of doors...much more useful and easy to get to things. But you came up with creative ideas to fix existing issues. Drawers cost more upfront but totally worth it in long run

1st project: Love the additional shelves. When I get my tiny house built, I'm going to ask for extra shelf leaves. 2nd project: Ingenious to have a pull out tray and added shelves on the tray. The lid holder on the door is awesome. I have my lids all jumbled together and your idea is much better.

Come for the projects, stay for the great Dad jokes.

OMG I love your sense of humor! Helps me remember to lighten up while working on my own projects. I plan to add all 3 of these to my kitchen. Thank you!

[howardcrane]

Great ideas. Thanks! Turn the lids over on the pots (handle down) and you can lower the upper shelf. Cheers.

1st project: Looks great as long as your shelves are not too deep or you will have problems getting the items at the back out. We have a cupboard that is the same depth as our fridge and getting the items from the back is already hard enough. For shallow cupboards it looks great.

3rd project: Love this and have already done it for my cutlery draw. For my bottom layer I did four sections that go all the way from the front to the back of the drawer so no gap at the back to fill in. I need to do another set for my second drawer down and maybe a lift out one for the bigger 3rd drawer with all the rolls of tinfoil and cling wrap.

2nd project: I just can't decide what I think of this. Every time you moved it I was worried about the items sliding off the shelves. Probably a me issue. I do like how you rounded the corners, such a small detail can make such a big difference to the end appearance.

[HyperactiveNeuron]

How about a solution for those under-counter corner cabinets where pots and pans go into the in-between spaces? I have 2 corner cabinets that go back as deep as the adjacent cabinet so basically enough space for an adult to hide in. The are commercial solutions that cost $$$$ but my budget isn't $$$$

BTW Excellent tips and projects Brad! Glad to see the lid door is still holding up. I knew it would 😁

The second project (extra shelves on roll out drawers) seem so perfect, it's one of those why didn't I think of that.

[KZa-czgb]

Love how you show every little detail. Unlike others that just verbally say them. Thank you so much.

A hack I stumbled upon myself, those undershelf shelf things. I think I got mine at the container store. It’s a wire rack shelf, has legs that slide over the shelf above. It’s PERFECT for holding water bottle and lids. The depth just happens to be about the same as my cabinet. Holds all the water bottles, laying down, and room for the lids on one size. One of my more brilliant organization moves!

[Cryptic]

I built something similar for our kitchen lower cabinet with pull out drawer base, but instead of building a shelf to put on top of the bottom one I built a second pull out drawer at the half way mark so that I could put another full depth drawer platform for other pots

As an interior designer and have designed kitchens kudos. I love these ideas

Novel 2 x 4 storage. All back of the drawer like. Love it.

My question is this: When your husband does this kind of work for a living, how do you get him to do it at home??

[snakeeaterapc]

Man I love the way you organized the drawers!! It has ALWAYS been one of my personal, biggest complaints about drawers with wasted space and disorganization. Drives me nuts when you open a drawer and it looks like a tornado went through it. I just wish I had all the tools you had to do it all. Great videos!!!
