Two- Tier Drawer Storage

June 3, 2021

While the bathroom renovation solved a lot of problems, it did present a small hiccup. No worries I have a solution : Two-Tier Drawer Storage

If you have been following along for a little while  you are aware of our major bathroom renovation.  During this makeover we gutted the original cabinets and nixed the weird corner layout.  I hated the layout, it felt weird and congested. HOWEVER,  it did have one benefit; the original layout included a seated vanity area.

The Problem?

 Shortly after completing the bathroom I realized how much I enjoy sitting and putting on my makeup.  This was a conundrum. I had just taken out my seated vanity, but I had an idea! Lets go ahead and needlessly. complicate matters in the effort of being lazy whilst applying makeup. 🙂

There are quite a few steps to this vanity conversion process, but the first one I’m tackling is creating a work space and adding accessible storage for may makeup. In the past I have used double tier storage in my workshop organization. I decided to take a page out of that playbook and add additional/functional storage to my existing drawer. Creating two tier drawer storage is just what this space needed.

I have full build plans available here. (The drafted version is intended for a 36″ frameless base cabinet.)

The Solution

Just look at all that beautifully organized storage! There are still plans to trick out this cabinet in order to create a fully functional vanity, but this is a great start!

I have plans on using the top tier as a “workspace” for when I am doing my hair. A heat resistant pad that will remain in this top area for when I am working with hot tools. Also… I am going let you in on a secret… I will also store all the accoutrement to apply my lashes. Yes, I even DIY my own lashes. 🙂

I added some plastic organizer bins to bottom drawer, they worked great to organize all of my makeup. So far I am loving this system. First I apply my makeup and then pull out the top drawer to work on my hair.

I know I am missing a few key components like, a mirror and lighting, but don’t you worry I have that covered. You can see how I am incorporating drawer slides and turntables to make the most ingenious tuck away mirror on my Instagram stories.

    […] If you have been around for a little while you are aware of my recent Master Bathroom Renovation. I love everything about the new bathroom setup, but admittedly I do miss my seated vanity area. As ugly as the layout use to be, I still missed sitting to do my hair and makeup. Well I had a crazy idea that would convert a cabinet into a seated vanity area. I already converted the drawer into extra make up storage . ( You can get all the details here.) […]

    […]  While pull-out workspace is a really cool concept,  I feel like I could still improve the project.  Not only did I  use the drawer as a pull-out workspace… I increased it’s storage capacity!  I present to you the  two-tier drawer.  You can get all the details on how to build this two-tier drawer here.  […]

Meet Corey

Hi everyone, my name is Corey, and I have a problem. I can’t leave well enough alone… The best therapy usually involves a variety of power tools. So, in the few “spare” moments I am not entertaining my two beautiful, rambunctious, boys, I can typically be found hunched over a sewing machine and/or covered in sawdust. All in the efforts to create a perfect balance of aesthetics and practicality in our home.
