I also had scraps. Perfectly stained-to-match wooden scraps left over from when my father created our double oven cabinet (out of half a 30" base cabinet turned upside down, two fridge panels, and a 18" tall wall cabinet).
It looks perfect, doesn't it? If you can see it past all the construction mess. My father is such an incredible wood-worker!
I, on the other hand, am a woodworking dilettante. I know just enough to think I can do far more than I really can.
This project turned out to be within my capabilities, however. A few scraps, a few screws, and a few L brackets from the garage, and I made myself my very own vertical behind-the-door cutting board holder!
Man, these little things make me so happy. When I eventually get vertical pan storage, you will see glee. Unmitigated glee.
What a great idea! I pinned this to remember for when I build my home next year!
ReplyDeleteAwesome, please tell me you are painting the blue island and cabinets, lol! I really like the creativity. Here is a link to a similar article I wrote about cutting board maintenance:

I don't think many people know how far a little food grade mineral oil goes on a wood cutting board. It really makes the wood shine!
