Hey friends, I am sure that many of you have organization on the brain. I am a firm believer that you can create a organized space, AND make it beautiful at the same time. In fact all of the pieces in my home are aimed to be decorative while still serving a very useful purpose. These new kitchen racks are no exception! This Pottery Barn Inspired Cubby Rack is intended to clear up some cupboard space and use these in the dining room and or kitchen!

Step 4. Shelf Insert
Using (2) of the 1″x 6″x 11 3/4″ boards and the 1″x 6″x 7 1/2″ board, and form a “I”. Make sure that the 7 1/2″ board is centered on both 11 3/4″ boards. Use wood glue and reinforce with 2″ 16 gauge finish nails.
Step 5. Shelves
