I decided to recycle two old drawers from a small nightstand
into wall cub- bies for a kid’s bathroom. It’s a fairly simple and fun project to create easily accessible
storage for those items your kids use every day. Drawer wall cubbies can be made to use for storage of all kinds of things, even outside the bathroom. 1. Take the back panels off the drawers carefully as not to damage. 2. Decide how deep you want your mounted drawer to be and then cut the excess off (I used a hand saw to make it fast and simple.). 3. Then, re-attaach the back panels to each drawer; this may require some wood glue and clamps. Let dry. 4. Choose a color of your choice and paint all sides of the drawer, inside and out. You can brush paint on and then use a top coat to seal and protect from moisture, or use a high gloss spray paint. Your draw- ers may require some light sanding before painting depending on the original surface material. 5. Add some new knobs and then drill holes in the back panels of each drawer—one to each end and centered—so you can anchor the draw- ers to the wall. 6. Finally, I added three eyelet hooks to the bottom of the drawers to attach three cups for extra storage of small things like hair bands. 7. Mount the drawers to the wall using anchors and screws, then hang the cups on the bottom off the eyelet hooks. Now you have a fun way to store all those bathroom necessities and help keep your kiddos organized! Abbie, The Marshall Made Co. marshallmade.co
