Kitchen Cabinet Organizers: Drawer in a Drawer

For the DIY lovers out there, check out this project. It features a sliding tray that creates two shallower spaces. Make it 1/8 inch narrower than the drawer box, about half the length and any depth you want (ours is 1-3/4 in. deep). When you position the holes for the adjustable shelf supports, don’t rely on measurements and arithmetic. Instead, position the tray inside the drawer box at least 1/8 in. lower than the cabinet opening and make a mark on the tray. Here’s is the complete how-to instruction guide for this project!
