Need counter space... looking for ideas

[chezmoose]

Our new TT has virtually no counter space so I'm hoping to create a solution so that it doesn't become an issue.



It does have a custom cutting board that fits over the left side of the sink but since it's a single-bowl sink, there's nothing in the center to support it and it slides around. We tried putting a bead of silicone on the back of it hoping for a snugger fit, but it wouldn't stick to the poly.

My thought is this: get a poly cutting board cut to 12x30 that would span the entire width of the sink and mount rubber bumper feet to raise it above the lip of the sink and keep it from sliding. 12" would be narrow enough that you could still run water behind it if needed.

Does anyone have any other suggestions? Just looking for something lightweight, easy to clean, and easy to move and stash when not needed.

a cutting board might be cheaper

Make a wooden sink cover, same size as the orginal. Use a silicone bead to keep it from moving.

How about a folding shelf below the sink and above the drawers? Anyplace else to put one? I've seen that done before many times.

Folding shelf brackets and a piece of counter top mounted on the side of the sink cabinet. Fold it down and out of the way at night.

Fold down counter extension to the right of the sink. It can be 12 - 18" wide and as deep as the counter, then fold down so you can access the bedroom at night.
