The kitchen cabinets on our island have absolutely no organization.

We’ve been keeping our tupperware in there (with a bunch of other stuff) and I can never find the matching lid.

So I decided to build a rolling drawer with storage on the top and bottom so I can easily see what matches.

Comment “drawer” for the plans to build your own!

3/16 Edited to

... Read moreOrganizing kitchen cabinets, especially those packed with mismatched Tupperware and lids, can be a major hassle. I’ve personally dealt with this clutter and decided that a creative storage solution was necessary. Building a rolling drawer organizer with storage compartments on both the top and bottom was a game-changer. It allows easy visibility and access to all contents, which means no more digging through piles just to find a matching lid. When I built my drawer, I used plywood for durability and added veneer edging to give the wood grain a polished look. Buffing the surface after assembly helped the drawer look professional and blend well with existing cabinetry. One of the satisfying parts was cutting perfect pieces and fitting them together seamlessly, which made the whole structure sturdy and functional. This DIY project transforms what I previously called the 'black hole' cabinet—a place where Tupperware lids vanished—into a beautifully organized space. The rolling drawer moves smoothly, making accessing different shelves hassle-free and keeping everything visible and neatly arranged. For anyone tackling kitchen storage problems, building your own rolling drawer organizer can drastically improve daily kitchen routines. It’s an effective way to reduce clutter while adding a custom touch that suits your specific storage needs. Plus, the satisfaction of having built something yourself with perfect cuts and a flawless fit is unmatched. If you struggle with matching lids or disorganized cabinet space, this project might just be the solution you need.

What is the tape for that you put over the corners when you rounded them out?
