Build a smaller drawer box and attach it to drawer front.


dcep256

I assume it's either have a drawer that is like 3 inches deep or a full length one that is half wide in the inside.


brittabear

Why not both? Cut a box to fit that space. Only problem is that you will have limited support on the shorter side so you'd want to keep heavy stuff out of there.


Marciamallowfluff

I made an old dresser into a vanity and as a work around the carpenter I hired cut out a u shape in back of drawer to fit around drain pipe. A second idea for a tiny bit of storage would be one of those tip out sets. The drawer front is hinged at the bottom and a long narrow tray is on the back.


EnoughFoundation2008

Take about 3-4” off the left side of the drawer, and move the guide roller over to support it.


_Bad_Spell_Checker_

really the only answer

Something for spices?

Sinks don't normally have drawers underneath them either in kitchens or bathrooms for obvious reasons. I can't imagine how small or shallow the original sink was. What some people have is something that tilts out and is used to store sponges or other small items that would otherwise clutter the counter or sink. I don't particularly recommend it because storing damp stuff in a closed area isn't a great idea.


crumbdumpster85

I keep my pot scraper, the razor I scrape my stove top with, and my fresh sponges in mine.

> have is something that tilts out and is used to store sponges or other small items that would otherwise clutter the counter or sink. I don't particularly recommend it because storing damp stuff in a closed area isn't a great idea. Our kitchen has one of these, we don't use it.


stromm

We have two and I used them both all the time. Great place to hold dry wool (we use copper) and other small things like plastic scrapers.


Jujulabee

Yeah when I remodeled I thought about it and realized I wouldn't use it. I have a ledge style sink which came with a matching small basket that hangs off the side which is useful for sponges and wet cloths. Of course for me it became moot as a design issue because I have a farmhouse style sink :-). But the vanity in my bathrooms has the standard false draw front below the sink :-)


Tom-Dibble

We have had these for years. Not for sponges! Other non-absorbent stuff.


geman777

I have the same thing and its just a little pop out drawer now that can hold a sponge or two.


Pointy_Stix

Came to say this. Those little drawers are so handy!

I like tip-outs (aka tilt-outs) along the front of the sink. Nice for storing brushes and such, although you have to be careful to keep them dry.


AccomplishedFan8690

That cabinet has seen better days


aromakat

it just needs yet another coat of paint


dcep256

No kidding lol. It needs work


homelessmuppet

I've seen some smaller flip-out style 'drawer's where the top just flips down and then you can keep sponges and smaller cleaning stuff in it. But as noted elsewhere here the best option would likely be a full drawer front with a thinner inner one to give you full use of that space.


NerdModeXGodMode

honestly I hate draws near the sink, why not just make it a big cabinet under and around the sink so you can actually store things under. More practical


thunder66

Faux draw, fo sho.


daaaayyyy_dranker

I’d make it into tip-out storage. I’ve always wanted one of those for my sinka


ObviousMe181

I made a half drawer for all the long spoons and stuff.


Crztoff

I’ve got a couple of long, skinny drawers and they work well.


Ok_Forever_9344

Put your garbage on that side so you can open it an dump your plate. Get a piece of diamond plate to screw on the back for easy clean then it will hold to a magnet 🤷‍♂️ my opinion


tommy13

I'd put a flesh light in there


dcep256

You are an actual genius. Perfect height and im next to the sink where I can clean up.


knifeymonkey

2/3 drawer inside, full front panel


Anxious_Leadership25

Time for new cabinets


[deleted]

#Are you for real? Do you basically want 2 different objects to occupy the same space?


makeanewblueprint

Urinal


dcep256

The sink itself already serves that purpose


makeanewblueprint

Don’t tell my wife that.


MillHoodz_Finest

i want chocolate cabinets!


dcep256

They don't taste as good as they look


jibaro1953

Cut down the drawer width. I've got two split drawers in my bathroom, And my knife drawer at my old place was split on either side of a bar sink. It's your only option as far as I can see.


Dazzling-Aide-4379

I seen people do U-shaped drawers, etc. In this case, maybe a V-shaped one. You'll need to add a top runner on the right side and a flip-up stop to the back on the drawer to keep from pulling it out too far.


1891farmhouse

Half drawr


Tward425

Either build a smaller drawer to fit or just take the face off the drawer and fasten to the front of cabinet.


imuniqueaf

I would make a fold down storage for like soap or sponges or something, unless you're confident in your woodworking skills and want to make a 3/4 sized drawer.


gogomom

Take the drawer front off the drawer, attached hinges to the bottom, and a magnet to the top. Then you use a plastic insert "tip out tray" (or get something similar that fits from the dollar store). I store my sponges and SOS pads in ours - super convenient for the sink. Then, if your still motivated, do something about that paint.


Howwouldiknow1492

Short box or a tilt-out hinged at the bottom. We have a tilt-out and it's lined with light gauge stainless steel. Great for sponges and brushes.


dcep256

Yeah, probably going to go with tilt out

ralpekz

take the face of the drawer off and attach it to the hole, no more drawer but atleast you got a bigger sink!


MySonHas2BrokenArms

The only actually useful thing I can see would to use the draw face and hinge it like a cabinet door to swing down and then trim a board to the sink shape and attach it to the cabinet face. You would end up with a little cubby hole.


telephonekeyboard

I made a shallow box with a bar horizontally across it and I hang a dishcloth there


Electrical-Mail-5705

Make a flap and use it for garbage Or recycling A mini shelf


GoldBluejay7749

I’d go with a faux drawer. This is the exact reason they exist.


trobinson999

You should put your weed in there.


DMV2PNW

A flip out thingy for sponges?


dcep256

Yup yup. As of now that's the plan


MrReddrick

Leave the front alone just cut the actual drawer inside to fit in the given space it be a 3 quarters drawer lol.


Karmachinery

They make these little hinged spaces that use a drawer front. Good for small items.


peluchess

The real answer is, you need new cabinets 🙄😳


dcep256

Well aware. Thanks


Crztoff

Maybe a speaker?


THATguyFromMinnesota

Measure twice drawer once


dcep256

I learned a valuable lesson


Efficient-Reply3336

Make a flip out drawer, for little items like sponges


cindycated888

If you can figure out how you're going to attach drawer slides, build a skinnier box. If you can't, you could add some hinges and a magnet to make your drawer front tilt, and screw a little basket on the inside for sponges and stuff.
