My dad taught me to use peel and stick tile on the inside of my cabinets, the tile cleans up easy and can be taken up with a hairdryer and a putty knife if you want to change or replace. Love how you did not over talk the subject and got right to work.
Contact paper works well for lining shelves as well and can be cut to fit, without the seams between tiles which can "leak." It's not as easy to find in stores as it was a few decades ago, however, in my experience.
@@LoriSews I, too, use peel and stick for the FLOOR of cabinets as ell as under sinks in kitchen and bath. My dad did this with tile he removed from their kitchens.
After watching the video advert i was still skeptical. But when i finally downloaded the plans th-cam.com/users/postUgkxZF0EMnrujZvqHhGkxiz559uIABJWR9TG i was very impressed. The whole plan was just as you said in the video. Thank you very much. I now have a large and valuable collection for my woodworks. This is great!
In under 5 minutes she was able to explain perfectly how to do this install. Great for beginners to watch. I love her videos because she goes right into it!
First time I saw her video And I totally agree. Really clear. Really easy to understand. And now I’m subscribing 😊 am buying a new home and want to do these things myself 😊
Lol. Good job indeed. (Understated) This humble woman was doing FAR far more complicated woodworking long before youtube even existed. She can build, literally, anything. She is the reason I've done my own buildouts, fireplace surrounds, furniture etc. I would've never tackled and designed and built these things without her example over the years. You don't know me Anna - but i have known your work for years. So Thx. A 1000 times over.
Holy pull out drawer, Batman! I came to look for ideas to effectively complete the picture of what I wanted to do in my bathroom cabinets and BAM! Thank YOUUUUU for posting this!!!!!
when i first saw this i thought no way can i do this but i kept watching other videos then came back to this one, this one is much simpler to understand. thanks.
I am a recent Widow and it is videos like these that take some of the anxiety away and help me to realize I can do it. Thank you for this short but well done and informative video! Blessing to you!
I’m sorry you lost your husband. I’m sure being on your own is a new experience that will take some time to adjust. With that said... God bless TH-cam!!! Where you can learn how to just about anything. Over the last 5 years or so I’ve learned many new skills from watching videos. It’s quite an accomplishment when you stand back and look at tour project and say “I can’t believe I just made that”!!! It might be a little crooked but I made it!!! I wish you well on any project you tackle.
I asked my handy husband to do this when we moved into our house 18 years ago, BEST improvement EVER! He did all the kitchen base cabinets and all the bathroom base cabinets. Now that I'm 71 it is a God send not to have to crawl on the floor to clean and/or find something at the back of any of my cabinets.
There is something else you might love. Age makes it painful for me to do a deep knee bend. I bought a few plastic rolling garden carts. Picture a small heavy duty plastic tote on wheels. I can sit very comfortably on the cart to weed my garden, put air in my tires, or scrub my floors. Also it is easier to stand up from a sitting position than it is getting up from the floor.
I have been struggling n cant not afford new kitchen cabinets. My cupboards on ground...can reach them so I can use them. I was so frustrated. Now looking for someone to do for me.
OMG!!!! I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING THIS FOR OVER A YEAR NOW. The cost to buy these is insane and the DIY tutorials are complicated for a beginner. YOU JUST MADE IT SOOOOO CLEAR AND SIMPLE! THANK YOU! ❤
Ana is the Goldilocks of DIY coaches. Some instructors speak to viewers as if we're seasoned pros, others as if we're morons. She always gets it just right, showing just the right amount of detail, explaining exactly what's needed to keep it clear & simple but no more than that so that it's memorable & we can walk away knowing how to do it with confidence. I'm thinking if Ana ever goes bonkers one day & decides to take up teaching organic chemistry to her subscribers, we'd probably all be able to ace the MCAT & get into med school, no probs! 😉
❤️❤️❤️I have seen dozens,(maybe dozens of dozens) of How-To videos and I have NEVER seen a better, clearer one. ❤️❤️❤️ I’ve been wanting to do this to my cabinets,and now by golly, I KNOW I CAN DO IT! If not for this talented young woman, I’d never have known how simple this is. I’ve got the tools and the shelves...now I just need to get the hardware. 👍🥳😁
Thank you, Ana! This will be so easy to follow! I suspect that the current price of lumber in my area will mean that the nice plywood you are using will cost many times more that what it did when you were filming, but I’m sure going to try. This is exactly what I need!
I changed my shelves with wired pull out drawers. It's a game changer for me. I can now get cereals etc out of the cupboard without having to bend or kneel
Thank you again for another brilliant but simple and innovative project, using the existing material is a great idea to avoid waste. I love your channel and website, especially as you encourage people to post their finished versions of your projects, it really inspires and encourages us to try. The free plans and reasonable projects costs really help us do more within our budget and you always take the time to walk us through your process and give us tips, tricks and potential pitfalls which I really appreciate. My wife and I have now built multiple projects from your site including 3 computer desks (for son, mom and dad), wood storage cart, multiple kitchen cabinets and 2 amazing bookshelves (which my daughter is still trying to appropriate for her room). Based on other projects on your website we have also built a recycling cart, 6' rolling storage shelves and a kitchen/pantry stand. All of the projects get compliments and when people ask where we bought them from, we love the reaction when we say we built them. I saw the modern dresser you made with a brad nailer and I think that might be the next one to try. Please keep the amazing content coming and thank you for all that you do.
Leave it to a woman to simplify a project made super complicated by other you tubers!!! My friends and I always say we work smarter not harder and you are my new queen of that statement!! I'm almost 70 yrs old but I'm going to give this a shot! Thanks soooo much!
This is especially handy, for someone with health issues and limitations. I absolutely don’t understand why this isn’t a stander for home builders??? Makes life so much easier. The digging that takes place every time you need something, you end up pulling everything out before you find what you need, because more often then not what you need is all the way in the back! Thank you so much for taking the time to put this simple video together for us all, I didn’t realize how simple it is to do and how inexpensive it is.
I just spent $125+ for 2 - 17" metal roll outs..they are nice and very heavy BUUUUT...Thanks to you Mrs. White they will be shipped back first thing in the morning and I will be making them myself. Thanks!
Thank you so much for sharing this. I was about to spend a few hundred dollars but I knew there had to be an easy beginner way that a 70 Year-young could accomplish.
I saw your video last fall, showed it to my son, then said this is what I’d REALLY like for my Christmas present and…he did it!! I LOVE my new shelves! Thank you!
Not sure why this popped up but perfect timing. My wife was just telling me we need a solution for our shelves and this looks perfect. Good job, thanks.
YESSS!!!! Every time I have to reeeeeach way back into my cabinets I curse/cry. This is going to make my life so much easier plus I can change the half shelves into full shelves. THANKS!!
WOW!! I didn’t realize a pull out shelf like this would be so easy to make!! LOVE LOVE this pull out shelf!! Thank you so very much for sharing how to install it!!♥️♥️♥️
This video is about to SAVE MY LIFE! I have a narrow deep pantry in my rental and I’m not trying to spend a lot of money but i do want to make my life easier. Wish me luck!
You are such a giving kind woman. Thank you. I'm disabled and my home depot wanted $70 per shelf. You have saved my back and wrists. Bless you for your kindness and generosity..
I've been wanting to do this for the longest time, you beat me to it. You can drill a 1 1/2 in. hole 🕳 in the front of the shelf for easy pulling out. Thanks for sharing.
Wow! I knew there was a better way to do this! I was going to buy some of those pull out shelves that are ridiculously expensive! Now I know I don't have to, thanks to you!
Perfect timing!!! The little lady just asked me to do this just about 20 minutes ago and boom up pops your video... fast simple and easy I like it !! Thanks a million
I just bought a house that has half shelves. I hate them because at my age I can't get down to get anything off them. This is a great idea. I love your videos.
Just seeing this two years after its been posted. Nice clear video that's to-the-point without a lot of extra babbling. The only suggestion I have is to install the slides in the base cabinet first, put in the shelf slides next, and then measure the distance across for the shelf width. Worked much better when I did this to my bathroom vanity's shelves. And in 2022 the price of those slides in 16" length is up to $9 at HD (inflation . . . grrrr!!). EDIT: Also forgot to add that I put a 6.5" drawer pull handle on the top-front of shelves I installed - makes it easier to slide it in-and-out, and keeps stuff from falling forward and off onto the floor.
This is genius! I was gonna buy those little white cabinet things to give me more space and then you popped up on Pinterest and saved my cabinet’s lives. I love this a million times better!!
This is exactly the thing I was looking for at Home Depot yesterday. I want pull out shelving on cabinets just like yours in this video, Ana. Just came across this video by "accident" this morning. Didn't know it could be so simple. Thanks.
How wonderful is that?! I love it! I could be sneaky and use a solid piece to fill that gap. My landlord won't even notice at the yearly inspection! Great video. Thank you so much
That’s a tip to be remembered...how easy. Take a phone-pic, use a flashlight to get a good shot. Plan the job by starting out right, take a picture will bring the job eye-level. When you’ve got it, get a teenager to assist. Away from video games...help me a minute. Ana does the same with these great vids.
I can do this! Really, I can. Handsome-Man-Unit brought home a whole bouquet of these drawer glides from the Habitat Store a couple of weeks ago. Romantic, eh? I told him, You showed them to so they’re mine now. I’m 68 going on 30 and, I have to tell you, age and decrepitude can sneak up on you all of a sudden. Simple hacks like this are a godsend. Aced it again, Ana.
Thank you, Ana! I used your tutorial to make pull out shelves for my base cabinets. I wish I could share a link so you can see it! I’m so proud of them and I have YOU to thank for giving me the knowledge and confidence to tackle it.
For around $30, you can get full extension, heavy duty drawer slides. Definitely worth the extra money when you're already spending the time on the project.
@@donnamaco1 Eh, the condos and townhouses in my area aren't the best. Too much controlled by the HOA, they own everything under the sun and tell you what you can and can't do under the roof (stuff like no pet fish, reptiles, no holes in the wall). I'd rather put my money in a place that's really mine.
@@dragon6irl I won't suggest ever doing something your against. I just would become part of the HOA Board members and steer my condo in a sensible direction, but that is just me. I love living in a condo. Single family detached dwelling units have become cost prohibitive for many and condos can be found reasonably priced sometimes a steal. I bought my first one at 29. Yes, friends made fun of me and my ugly condo but I slowly fixed it up. In the implosion of 2008 I had a comfortable roof over my head and those friends that laughed, many did not. Best purchase I ever did.
Wonderful idea. An alternative to small rectangles for the shims is to simply fit a panel to either side or 4 narrow boards that are the height of the cabinet. That way you would have the option to change the height of the shelf by simply relocating the screws or installing an additional track.
I LOVE IT!!!! Honey, if you were here I'd just KISS YOU! I love cabinets with drawers so I don't have to bend over to find things! Being thrifty is at the top of my list too since I live on a tight budget. This is definitely going into my next home.
Great ! nice and informative video with simple instructions, no background music 😁 and not too much talking. Looking forward to check your other videos. Thanks very much.
Hi Ana! I have made several of your plans. Currently I am making an industrial cart for my grandson's apt. I made one for me a few years back. Love your home!
This helped me take apart the broken pull drawer i have and fix the problem. The rails had nails in them not screws. No wonder it became loose and then would stick.
I did this, but I turned the slides on their sides so they were laying flat. They work just as well and still soft close perfectly. Doubled the storage in my only large kitchen cabinet.
GIRL! First off, Good on you for doing it yourself, and doing a damn fine job of it. Second - what perfect timing. I just bought the hardware and I'm ready to tackle it.
If you think this is good, you should check out her website! Tons of great DIY projects and plans and a very active community to help you learn as you go.
As a disabled senior living in an apt, I cannot alter existing cabinets. I measured shelves (height, width and length) found the best plastic bins that will fit and while sitting down in my kitchen, I can reach everything without standing on my head. However if I was an able-bodied person owning a home, I would find someone to do this for me. Excellent presentation, simply explained.
Thank-you, this is what I need done to a couple of cabinets and I had no way of knowing how to go about the project. Best of all I can do it myself. What a vote of confidence!
I've been holding on for a year on doing this to the kitchen. I'm handy with tools but two parallel level drawer slides were scary. Then I saw your video. Can I say thank you? THANK YOU!!!
This was awesome. I have several situations that I can use this wonderful idea for. I had a drawer pull out made for under my kitchen sink, it cost almost $300. When I saw how easy it was for him to install, I knew I was going to have to find another way around this that wouldn't cost so much money. Thank you for your excellent tutorial.
Oh, Ana, thank you SO MUCH! This is exactly what I needed to swap out a shelf on my sewing cabinet to a pull-out! Can’t wait to get started on the kitchen cabinets next!
I would recommend furring out the entire length of the slide for face-framed cabinets. We have some pull-outs that were here when we bought the place. Over time, the slides have bent where they aren’t supported by the shims, and now I need to beat up my knees and back to replace them. The former owners might have used too light-duty of slides, but a few more materials might mean fewer headaches down the road.
Anna, I love your videos. I wish you could put in below the video links to the materials you use for your projects. I do a lot of Amazon so maybe links to that or to Lowe's, Home Depot, ACE or other big box type stores would be helpful as well. Thanks for all the great tips, tricks and plans for your projects.
She did not bother to do this because they sell this anyplace. I like how she reused her old shelf. Just go to the shelving/organization section and there will be more selection than you need.
Fantastic Ana! In addition to this, we have a pantry with wire shelves that aren't too useful. Will add 4×4's on the sides for rails and buy shelves. Your island drawer divider like my pantry idea spin off are a hit with the little lady. Keep on making such useful projects for relativity green DIYers like me. Thank you!
Those kits are so expensive so I appreciate this! I’m disabled and it is hard for me to get things from my lower cupboards. I checked into the kits to help make it more accessible and it just can’t be done once your income become is affected by disability. Ironically, the things people with limited mobility need just to be independent in the rest of the world are too expensive if they become unable to work very much. We become very creative in getting our needs met. This video is extremely helpful and I think my son can actually help me do this! Thanks!
Thank you! I needed this so bad for the biggest pain in my house right now & todays actually my bday so it feels like a gift from the universe from you today 😂 god bless 🤍
I... LOVE... YOU!!! Darlin, you just became a my new best friend LMAO. I have literally spent the ENTIRE day looking at videos to organize my kitchen. I am 100% disabled and wanted to make draws in my kitchen cabinets. Everybody and their uncle had different methods and one girl even had an entire workshop full of state of the art equipment that I wound up rolling my eyes and got rid of her in a heartbeat lol. Thank you, thank you, thank you, you are an angel in disguise ❤️
Thanks a ton for making this video. I am not a full time handyman at home with not lots of tools. Since my wife has issues with bending down to look for things in the cabinets. So I started looking for the ways to put in sliding drawers in the cabinets. I had looked at different videos how to go about it, but yours was the simplest way with less cutting and simply steps. God so bless you, dear.
Awesome! I feel brave about taking on this task now. Thank you for making it so simple to understand Ana. 3 Thumbs up ! Also, it's very aesthetically pleasing.
Thank you, Ana! This is such a clear, concise video. I feel much more confident now to start building and installing my first drawers for a beautiful pantry I recently salvaged and restored. I appreciate your videos so much!
Perfect timing. I'm just finishing up your Too Faced pantry and was wanting to add pullouts to my kitchen cabinets but wasn't sure how. Thanks for all your wonderful doable projects.
You are the answer to my prayers! I’ve been watching all these pros post on how they do this for the past month and almost gave up because of how complex they make it seem. This was so clear, no-nonsense and realistic. Thank you
Saw this and it gave me the confidence to cut up our $$ cabinet shelves with the wife watching. Worked great, thanks Ana, very happy! One lesson learned for me was I measured the cabinet opening for the shelf width but my 3/4" plywood shim material was about 1/16" shy of the frame. Should have measured shim-to-shim rather than face opening for the shelf width.

Can you explain how you use this peel and stick tiles? The wood shim looks much deeper.
@@LoriSews I, too, use peel and stick for the FLOOR of cabinets as ell as under sinks in kitchen and bath. My dad did this with tile he removed from their kitchens.

This is exactly the thing I was looking for at Home Depot yesterday. I want pull out shelving on cabinets just like yours in this video, Ana. Just came across this video by "accident" this morning. Didn't know it could be so simple. Thanks.
Glad you found us!
Great install! I would have made one for the bottom too since it's do deep.
Wow! We bought the pullout drawers and my handy hubby installed them. Took him HOURS! Wish I’d seen this years ago! So much easier…and cheaper.
Thanks for the visit!
How wonderful is that?! I love it! I could be sneaky and use a solid piece to fill that gap. My landlord won't even notice at the yearly inspection! Great video. Thank you so much
By adding a small side edge it keeps things in place.
That’s a tip to be remembered...how easy. Take a phone-pic, use a flashlight to get a good shot. Plan the job by starting out right, take a picture will bring the job eye-level.
When you’ve got it, get a teenager to assist. Away from video games...help me a minute. Ana does the same with these great vids.
I can do this! Really, I can. Handsome-Man-Unit brought home a whole bouquet of these drawer glides from the Habitat Store a couple of weeks ago. Romantic, eh? I told him, You showed them to so they’re mine now. I’m 68 going on 30 and, I have to tell you, age and decrepitude can sneak up on you all of a sudden. Simple hacks like this are a godsend. Aced it again, Ana.
LOL, love it, I'm happy to help!
Thank you, Ana! I used your tutorial to make pull out shelves for my base cabinets. I wish I could share a link so you can see it! I’m so proud of them and I have YOU to thank for giving me the knowledge and confidence to tackle it.
Great job! Please share, you can email us at anawhitesite@gmail.com
@@AnaWhiteDIY done!
I would like to say may God Almighty continue to bless you and your husband ,family young Lady you are a excellent carpenter.
doing mine at the moment, the upper shelf is ok, for me easy access to the bottom shelf also helps
For around $30, you can get full extension, heavy duty drawer slides. Definitely worth the extra money when you're already spending the time on the project.
Nice job and I would add a 1/4" lip to the front similar to the back...
Converted my cabinet with ikea drawers and rails and love it!
I'll just tuck this away in my DIY playlist for when I have my own house...
Maybe start with a small fixer condo. You won't regret it.
@@donnamaco1 Eh, the condos and townhouses in my area aren't the best. Too much controlled by the HOA, they own everything under the sun and tell you what you can and can't do under the roof (stuff like no pet fish, reptiles, no holes in the wall). I'd rather put my money in a place that's really mine.
@@dragon6irl I won't suggest ever doing something your against. I just would become part of the HOA Board members and steer my condo in a sensible direction, but that is just me. I love living in a condo. Single family detached dwelling units have become cost prohibitive for many and condos can be found reasonably priced sometimes a steal. I bought my first one at 29. Yes, friends made fun of me and my ugly condo but I slowly fixed it up. In the implosion of 2008 I had a comfortable roof over my head and those friends that laughed, many did not. Best purchase I ever did.
Donna Cooper I’m thinking about going in the same direction. I just have to find one with reasonable hoa fees.
You are my kind of DIY'er. Thanks so much for clear, easy to follow instructions, really appreciate it. Greetings from North Wales UK.
Awesome! Thank you!
Just exactly what I was looking for! After my Google search, this is the video I found and I did not need to look any further. Thank you!
Great to hear!
Wonderful idea. An alternative to small rectangles for the shims is to simply fit a panel to either side or 4 narrow boards that are the height of the cabinet. That way you would have the option to change the height of the shelf by simply relocating the screws or installing an additional track.
Yep, I think I'd do that for the aesthetics alone
Great comment!

I LOVE IT!!!! Honey, if you were here I'd just KISS YOU! I love cabinets with drawers so I don't have to bend over to find things! Being thrifty is at the top of my list too since I live on a tight budget. This is definitely going into my next home.
Great ! nice and informative video with simple instructions, no background music 😁 and not too much talking.
Looking forward to check your other videos. Thanks very much.
Glad you liked it!
1:01 sounds like frace fame..and I like that.
Fab video and instructions. Thanks Ana. Love from Ireland 💚
Thanks so much! 😊
Hi Ana! I have made several of your plans. Currently I am making an industrial cart for my grandson's apt. I made one for me a few years back. Love your home!
This helped me take apart the broken pull drawer i have and fix the problem. The rails had nails in them not screws. No wonder it became loose and then would stick.
Good deal!
I did this, but I turned the slides on their sides so they were laying flat. They work just as well and still soft close perfectly. Doubled the storage in my only large kitchen cabinet.
Great!
I've done that throughout the house on different cabinets and it is a space saver utilizing where it would normally be air space. Great idea
GIRL! First off, Good on you for doing it yourself, and doing a damn fine job of it. Second - what perfect timing. I just bought the hardware and I'm ready to tackle it.
If you think this is good, you should check out her website! Tons of great DIY projects and plans and a very active community to help you learn as you go.
As a disabled senior living in an apt, I cannot alter existing cabinets. I measured shelves (height, width and length) found the best plastic bins that will fit and while sitting down in my kitchen, I can reach everything without standing on my head.
However if I was an able-bodied person owning a home, I would find someone to do this for me. Excellent presentation, simply explained.
Happy you've found a solution for yourself! Thanks for the visit:)
This was a very helpful video., so glad I found it. Very quick to the point and no extra blah blah. Thank you so much!!!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank-you, this is what I need done to a couple of cabinets and I had no way of knowing how to go about the project. Best of all I can do it myself. What a vote of confidence!
Glad it was helpful!
I was about to do this and thought I needed a whole bunch of material behind the slides but the shims are perfect
I've been avoiding doing this in my kitchen because I was worried it would be prohibitively difficult or expensive. Thank you for proving I can do it!
Glad it was helpful!
I've been holding on for a year on doing this to the kitchen. I'm handy with tools but two parallel level drawer slides were scary. Then I saw your video. Can I say thank you? THANK YOU!!!
Happy it is helpful!
This was awesome. I have several situations that I can use this wonderful idea for. I had a drawer pull out made for under my kitchen sink, it cost almost $300. When I saw how easy it was for him to install, I knew I was going to have to find another way around this that wouldn't cost so much money. Thank you for your excellent tutorial.
Glad it was helpful!
Oh, Ana, thank you SO MUCH! This is exactly what I needed to swap out a shelf on my sewing cabinet to a pull-out! Can’t wait to get started on the kitchen cabinets next!
Glad it was helpful!
I would recommend furring out the entire length of the slide for face-framed cabinets. We have some pull-outs that were here when we bought the place. Over time, the slides have bent where they aren’t supported by the shims, and now I need to beat up my knees and back to replace them. The former owners might have used too light-duty of slides, but a few more materials might mean fewer headaches down the road.
Great video. No added bs that most vids have. You clearly explained and you showed a 10 min job in only 5 mins. Thank you. I subscribed.
Thanks for the sub and welcome!
Anna, I love your videos. I wish you could put in below the video links to the materials you use for your projects. I do a lot of Amazon so maybe links to that or to Lowe's, Home Depot, ACE or other big box type stores would be helpful as well. Thanks for all the great tips, tricks and plans for your projects.
DLawless has quiet close slides. (Let’s their employees use the restroom when needed). (Pays tax).
She did not bother to do this because they sell this anyplace. I like how she reused her old shelf. Just go to the shelving/organization section and there will be more selection than you need.
Where have you been all my life? :-) I totally need this as I begin to tackle projects this fall. This is on my to-do list.
You made it look so less complicated than I thought, thank you.
You're welcome!
I am a retired GC in residential construction that was a great video showing the install, Knowledgeable of your materials, tools and task at hand.
Wow, thanks!
Fantastic Ana! In addition to this, we have a pantry with wire shelves that aren't too useful. Will add 4×4's on the sides for rails and buy shelves. Your island drawer divider like my pantry idea spin off are a hit with the little lady. Keep on making such useful projects for relativity green DIYers like me. Thank you!
Great idea!
Wonderful! I will install these railings to all of my shelves. Good job
Go for it!
Blessings, John 3:16 (NIV).
Right?!
You did a fabulous job giving all the details a beginning needs. Great camera work, again showing all the details.
Thanks so much!
Those kits are so expensive so I appreciate this! I’m disabled and it is hard for me to get things from my lower cupboards. I checked into the kits to help make it more accessible and it just can’t be done once your income become is affected by disability. Ironically, the things people with limited mobility need just to be independent in the rest of the world are too expensive if they become unable to work very much. We become very creative in getting our needs met. This video is extremely helpful and I think my son can actually help me do this! Thanks!
I am happy to help and sorry about the challenges that you must face for these basic aids.
Thank you Ana! I’m definitely going to add some of these in my kitchen as well.
Perfect!
Thank you! I needed this so bad for the biggest pain in my house right now & todays actually my bday so it feels like a gift from the universe from you today 😂 god bless 🤍
Happy birthday!
Happy belated birthday!!:)
I... LOVE... YOU!!!
Darlin, you just became a my new best friend LMAO. I have literally spent the ENTIRE day looking at videos to organize my kitchen. I am 100% disabled and wanted to make draws in my kitchen cabinets. Everybody and their uncle had different methods and one girl even had an entire workshop full of state of the art equipment that I wound up rolling my eyes and got rid of her in a heartbeat lol. Thank you, thank you, thank you, you are an angel in disguise ❤️
Thanks a ton for making this video. I am not a full time handyman at home with not lots of tools. Since my wife has issues with bending down to look for things in the cabinets. So I started looking for the ways to put in sliding drawers in the cabinets. I had looked at different videos how to go about it, but yours was the simplest way with less cutting and simply steps. God so bless you, dear.
Glad to help, thank you!
Awesome! I feel brave about taking on this task now. Thank you for making it so simple to understand Ana. 3 Thumbs up ! Also, it's very aesthetically pleasing.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you, Ana! This is such a clear, concise video. I feel much more confident now to start building and installing my first drawers for a beautiful pantry I recently salvaged and restored. I appreciate your videos so much!
Awesome, thanks!
Wow, so easy once it’s explained! I’m definitely going to do this to a few of my cupboards. Girl power!!!!!!!!!!!
You can do it!
good job. Straight to the point. No endless sanctimonious talk. I love this.
Thanks for the visit!
Thank you, I was looking at making a complete new shelf to do this, now you have shown me I don’t need to 😊, yay, this is a lot easier, thank you
Wonderful!
Perfect timing. I'm just finishing up your Too Faced pantry and was wanting to add pullouts to my kitchen cabinets but wasn't sure how. Thanks for all your wonderful doable projects.
Perfect!
You are the answer to my prayers! I’ve been watching all these pros post on how they do this for the past month and almost gave up because of how complex they make it seem. This was so clear, no-nonsense and realistic. Thank you
Glad I could help!
Thanks for your time and the great video idea. For the lower kitchen cabinets.
Wow. That is brilliant!
Good idea and a good job explaining the process.
Thanks 👍
Very good video and easy to follow ...Good job from a 68 year old retired carpenter.
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you!
Saw this and it gave me the confidence to cut up our $$ cabinet shelves with the wife watching. Worked great, thanks Ana, very happy! One lesson learned for me was I measured the cabinet opening for the shelf width but my 3/4" plywood shim material was about 1/16" shy of the frame. Should have measured shim-to-shim rather than face opening for the shelf width.
I am happy you were able to accomplish this!
