- Easy and budget friendly DIY fix for those hard to see blind corner cabinets. This is a great solution for anyone looking to save money and access those hard to reach corners.
If you liked the appearance of our cat sable in the video, you'll want to check out the video of our foster kittens (now adopted by us) playing with a ping pong ball here: • What happens when you ...
BRILLIANT! 500 bucks they want for that stupid magic corner and you knocked this outta the park. Nice!
Your cat did a wonderful job of supervising. I think he wanted to get into the cupboard to really inspect the fit and finish. 🤔
Great idea! Cabinet builders are so happy to blank off valuable space because it is an easier build. Love this idea so much more.
This is definitely the most cost effective idea i have seen yet. Thank you!!!
This is the same solution I came up with! The addition of some vinyl garden boarder lattice around the back and on one side of the drawer in the back will allow you to keep items from falling behind it.
You could also buy or make two drawers the same size and then connect them like bunk beds giving you full use of the height of the cabinet as well.
Well done!
Bunk beds. Great way to visualize.
Great work young lady may God bless you and your family outstanding job
Great idea! It boggles the mind how these companies can charge such exorbitant prices for something so easily made. $400 for a pole and racks is obscene. Thanks for the great DIY idea.
legend! you are a legend, I am so going to do this. My tupperware has nowhere go go before I saw this! xxxx from australia
Me, too. Racking my brains out and this is great.
This is a great idea and you explained it so anyone can do it. I'm happy that your cat also realizes how smart you are and is inspecting your project
You're a genius!! Way to go, you helped so many of us with those stupid blind cupboards, and we can't afford 500-700 dollars for the ones you buy. Thank you so much!!
You go girl! That’s genius! I have the same opening with the same depth in the same location. I love you for thinking of this and simplifying my life. My brain hurts from trying to engineer an affordable fix for this. In my area it would cost $1000 for the swing out type (I have 2 cabinets like this). Thank you so much for sharing!
You could always put a double wire rack on back drawer instead of having to install a second shelf.
Good job. Nice to see someone using ingenuity to craetye a solution to a problem. Maybe not quite as 'fancy' as the multi hundred dollar solutions from cabinet companies, but DIY-able, and cost effective. I'll say it again, "Good job."
that's one of the smartest things I've ever seen!!! magic shelves are soooooo expensive... I know they're two tiered , but I'd rather do this option than pay 100s of dollars for the two tiered options! Great job!
The Cat: " Hmm, how can I mess with that?...."
Soon as she turns away the cat is IN that cabinet!!
This is awesome. I can’t believe I found the exact blind corner slide out that I was hoping to find on CZcams. Thank you!
Yay! You conquered the DIY on what’s normally a very expensive solution! Imma do it too! Thanks girl!
Wow. Thank you for your cheap blind corner fix. Such a creative solution!!! The ones on line are way to expensive for my 35 year old cabinets.
Great idea. However side mount slides are designed for vertical installation. They will not hold any significant weight when mounted horizontally. Two slides would probably be better for long term use. Also I would warn to not lean on the front drawer when extended as it would bend the slide and it will never work the same again. Good job on the video and your addressing a problem that haunts us all.
this is what I was wondering, I kept looking for bottom mount ball bearing slides but they go on the sides. So 2 makes sense! Thank you.
@@jenniferjahns4006 It's possible to buy ball bearing runners that can be fitted on the side OR on the bottom. Also, even with a few saucepans or skillets on the smaller drawer, they aren't going to be very heavy in total. Possibly if one had exclusively cast iron pots the weight might be an issue.
This is exactly what I needed. Perfect solution and explanation! Thank you!
This is GREAT! I watched a lot of videos on how to get to things deep in the corner cabinet that has already been installed and I'm a renter. This is a great perfect solution for me. Thank you so much.
This is a great idea. I wish you would have turned over the pull out drawer so we could see the attached pull out however.
Since it makes my wife happy, it makes me happy. You did a good job.
This is exactly what I've just been creating in my mind. I came looking to see if anyone had done something similar - thanks so much!
Bravo! If you have access to the back of that cabinet … hubby installed a door and sliding shelves! Wow lots of usable space. He did one on family room side of kitchen and one on dinette side. You did great!!
You are clever. I also like your cat.
This is the solution for my corner cabinet. Perfection.
Great job
Wow that is brilliant! I've been searching online as well and all the solutions available are way too expensive. Than you for sharing xx
Been looking at loads of different "solutions" lately, this is the best I've come across. Thank you so much!
My plan for my winter project was to make pull out drawers for our cabinets. Now my winter project has been simplified to shopping at the restore and installing those pre-made drawers. Thank you!
OMG !!!!.. You really thought outside the box !!!.. thank you for sharing !!.. I have the same issue and it is so much space !!!
Brilliant! I have TWO of these corners, each with shelf, and crick in my shoulder from trying to reach aaaalllll the way in there. Thanks!
THANK GOD FOR YOU. I have been looking for this for YEARS. We live in my husband's childhood home and cabinets have been refaced and so there are no room for lazy susans. You've made my day and life 100x easier.
simple and smart!
I like this option and its not expensive and you'll be able to use your existing cabinets.
This is brilliant! Thank you for the video. I actually have a blind corner top cabinet and all of the solutions I find are for bottom cabinets. I was wondering how to make a custom one and your video is the perfect solution that I can customize for a top cabinet that isn't as deep as a bottom cabinet. Thank you!!!!
You're brilliant! Thanks!
Amazing idea, I have been thinking of setting up a swivel system but this is way more cost-effective and functional :)
To anyone watching this today and pondering how to get the second higher slide shelf, you dont need to. Just buy an appropriate double stack metal rack to go on the back slider. Do the sam on the front one and double its capacity
Fantastic idea
Great job. Thanks for sharing
Clever, simple and effective and a concise explanation. Well done!
Genius! I have watched several videos for using the blind corners and most of them involved some expensive hardware, a carpenter or a totally useless solution. This is simple, affordable and an easy DIY. Thanks so much for sharing your idea.
Awesome! Thanks for the idea.
You are brilliant!
Simply genius!! Thank you for posting this!!!
Absolutely, ABSOLUTELY GREAT SOLUTION!
GREAT JOB!
I know she didn't just solve my problems! Way to go girl!
You dear... ARE A BLESSING!!!!
Thank you very much for such a simple and clever idea.
I'm glad I found this. I am in the middle of building cabinets for my kitchen. Over all it is going good. I've been frustrated today by this corner cabinet I have. The area is too small for a reasonable lazy Susan, if I make it bigger I will not be able to center my sink over this window. Its unavoidable, it's just the way the wall works out. I would be happy to buy the expensive solutions but they don't look good to me and waste space. I like what you did. I can do it with what I have here. I am going to use your idea in my corner cabinet. I probably will assemble it with two shelves like you suggested. Thank you.
You are so very brilliant! I am very happy with this design. There are plenty of options in the store for corner cabinets, but they all have very specific dimensions... I was struggling to find a solution and you’ve made my day!! Thanks so Much!!
I have exactly the same blind corner, albeit with a wider door, and I've been pondering for weeks whether to get one of those swivelling pull-out shelves. But they are expensive. Your solution is a very good idea. I've used the fully extending ball bearing runners in ordinary cupboards so that I don't need to bend in order to get to the pots and pans, and I rate such runners very highly. The only modification I would make to your design would be to use two runners under the smaller drawer instead of one. I've lived in my house for 15 years and the blind corners have been almost inaccessible all that time!
I just recently opened our blocked off blind corner. This is great idea.
Love it! I didn’t see this video when I was researching solutions a few weeks ago so I ended up using under the bed storage that came on casters.
Great idea! You could still add another drawer on top if you place a similar blind drawer, assembly, add bracers at the height you want the drawer, then leverage the second shelf into place. If you screw the second drawer into the braces and it should be secure enough hold the drawer without tipping.
Thank you for the video. I'm looking to update my cabinet and this will work perfect.
Well done! Very smart simple idea. Love it!!
Very clever young lady!
Great idea!!! I am going to try this. I think I might sit a small shelf in the door as well, so I can stack things higher. Thank you so much for this awesome idea!!!
brilliant solution - thanks for making the video!
I love this. I am thinking of doing it with a track on each edge, so two per drawer. That would give it enough stability to add shelves to each drawer and they could still roll without leaning
Excellent video, never thought of doing this. Thanks for sharing
you are a genius! my husband and I, we both have lost a lot of nights thinking how to use that ugly corner without spending $500 (thats what it costs for a fancy blind corner rack nowadays. Thanks soo much!
Very clever 👍👍👍
Nice work 👍
I'm renting right now and can't install some high dollar revashelf. I also cannot BELIEVE how expensive they are 🙄 you have taken the ideas I've had in my head and brought it to life and I appreciate the tutorial! If they were able to be 2 layers, to maximize the the space even more, that would be even more amazing! You rock!
Very clever!
Brilliant! Why didn’t I think of this?!
Very resourceful of you to figure this out. Love the cat!
What size are your slides?
Wow that’s a genius idea!! Brilliant!!
One of the biggest problems with the blind corners is the small door size. It makes it much harder to reach in when you can't get your shoulders in.
THIS IS GENIUS!!!!!!!!! Thank you!
excellent !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Clever, Clever Girl. Top Job Mate, Cheers from Michael. Australia.
Lol. Good job! Life just got easier.
Spacegoodess -- agree 100 % you could save some money too by using those kids locker shelves and attach them in the back slide drawer
You could get the wire stackable organizer to place more items in the big drawer.
lmark6213 yes! keep coming with the ideas! :-)
Brilliant idea! Both the blind corner cabinet DIY as well as the wire stackable organizer! Thanks for sharing
Thank you so much ma'am for the idea actually even I've got the same problem and what a coincidence that the position of the shelf yours and mine is on the same side.
I'd say it was about a 50/50 shot. Haha
genius. been looking for a solution other then a lazy susan. this with do nicely.
You legend! What a great solution, been looking for something and this is truly teh best, easiest and most practical. thankyou so much for taking the time to share.
I love your cat.
Awesome! Will have to make this. Thanks for sharing.
The cat steals the show
Brillant! My dilema exactly. Thanks for the idea.
Excellent idea. Easy to do. I’m building a bar and I’m running into this exact scenario. I may just incorporate your idea. Thanks! Funny how the cat is just waiting for the opportune time to enter that cabinet.
Excellent idea, but use two slides for the drawer that comes out for stability; you can see it wobbles a bit. Same slides were used by the furniture makers who made out captain's bed; what a pain with only one per drawer!
Well done girl 😁 definitely going to do something similar 👏 👍🏼 😀
Wish I saw this at your age. Awesome. Job
Great idea! You can make the draws a bit higher so you can pack a little bit more stuff. That way things stay inside draws
Great idea. Thanks!
That's a much better solution to another one I saw. That one still had wasted space, cuz their pullout didn't go all the way back. I do believe using your method an upper shelf in the back can be added. Mount your base board using furring strips. Not sure if there's a way to add an upper shelf in the front. I'd sure try! My mom's kitchen has so much wasted space, it's pathetic. I'm looking for solutions. Thanks for a great video and tip!
Thank you so much! You are a genius and just saved me $500. This is awesome!!!
Not what I was searching for, but so glad I seen it. Thanks!!!!!!
So clever! Great idea.
You are awesome!!!!
Well done. Simple and effective. Fire!
You are clever ma'am.
