Storage Ideas for this?


This is where the old privacy curtain or slide used to be and what it was like when we got it. Sooo I thought that I could you it for some sort of storage or something. Where the piece of wood is that apparently its to help hold up the cabinet is coming out and my DH is going to put a 3/4 stained board there and we are going to mount a 19" tv on a articulating arm so we can watch movies in bed and I can turn it to be able to watch from the couch. So I have this stupid space in between and have no clue what I could put there??? wire shelf? but then things would fall off during travel. A long shelves and use quake hold (that stuff is awesome also) for whatever nick nacks etc. Your thoughts and ideas? :)

  • With counter space always being at a premium, a shelf to hold a 4 cup coffee pot would be nice with a 110v outlet right there. Also a place for a toaster if you have one?
  • When I first saw the pic, I thought about a coat hook/rod, but it seems to be close to kitchen given the placement of the paper towel holder. Given that, you might be able to fit a spice rack or move the towel ring.
  • I once used a tier shelf , something like this.

    You could make something like this yourself or alter this one so it fits sideways.
    It might be narrow enough to fit and you would still have access to the bins . Being you have a cabinet with a door at that location, you can use bolts with large enough washers and it would be a solid mount, the washers will absorb the stress and not rip out.
    If you use screws, they could come loose from road bumps .
  • How about mounting a shelf that is sized to hold movie CDs for the TV? Put a lip on the front to hold them in place, allowing enough room above to lift and remove the CD but not enough to allow the CD to rotate out of position on a big bump. It would be easy to make one with 3/4" wood for the bottom, run screws through the side of the cabinets to hold, then a small piece of lattice wood across the front for a lip. Stain or paint the wood black before mounting.
  • I would just think about what may be lacking currently and go from there.
  • I would just put some hooks there for quick coat/hat hanging. But I have a pop up and would kill for a space like that!!
  • On the inside of the left cabinet is a 12v cigarette plug in. thats for the 12v tv :) The silver towel holder is coming out and I want to put a Jensen stereo CD player in the spot there there is already the 12v + a 110 outlet underneath
    the cabinet so I want to utilize what we already have and not reinvent the wheel :)
