Case in point. I was redoing my master bathroom and it was &#8220;almost&#8221; finished. The only thing left was for Roy to make me a wood slide out drawer. Sort of a pull out cabinet organizer for one thin cabinet under the sink so I wouldn&#8217;t have to dig back in to get things out. It&#8217;s just he had so many projects going on at the time I hated to push yet another on him so in the meantime I came up with a temporary solution. It worked out great and cost me nothing. I&#8217;ll still get my wood one down there&#8230; maybe two as there are two shelves. But for now this works. I also did the same thing when I needed a quick <a href=\"http:\/\/ourpeacefulplanet.com\/2017\/07\/06\/diy-makeup-storage\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DIY makeup storage idea<\/a> for the same bathroom.
