Cabinet DIY completed and tutorial

OK ladies and gentalmen the day I have been waiting for!! A completed product! It is full installed.
Isn't she lovely!!
There are a few kinks I am working out and a finishing touch still waiting to happen but she is functional!
Heres a run down how we did this baby.
I measured and taped on the wall, where I wanted each shelf to fit all the cans I wanted into it. Husband comes in and measures from the top of the fridge to the floor takes into account the casters we bought and cuts the wood (shorter than I wanted!). Huge debate and "you never listen to me" discussion happens "whats done is done all isn't lost" half apology comes and then we are off to work again.
We called a friend to router the front and back pieces so we can use either side, 20min later he returns with beautifully edged wood. Thanks Jimmy!!
Then we built the box.
The outer box is the only thing we screwed, just to give it a little extra stabilitystability.
I will cover these wholes with little furniture buttons as soon as I can get into town to get some.
We doubled up the bottom and top boards (we glued one piece of oak and one piece of pine to save on money and still have the oak to screw into to make it sturdy). This was to help keep it square and the casters need something solid to screw into.
I then measured out where I wanted the shelves. Since we made the box first (mans idea remember his measuring) then I had to do the math to figure out how many shelves I could get in that space. I knew I wanted each shelf about 7.5" so I could easily get the cans in and out with the dowels. After laying one shelf inside, I found all I needed was 6.5" between each piece of wood. So I got the number of shelves I originally wanted LOL plus an extra little shelf for the little cans! I measured from the bottom of our box each time we nailed a shelf to insure if I messed up (which I did by 1/4" on one shelf) all the rest wouldn't be messed up too.
We bought for the more expensive better looking "select pine" for the shelves rather than oak to save the pocketbook. Select pine is my new favorite craft wood, very little if any sanding needed!
We then drilled whole for the dowels to set in.
We used a template for this. We measured from where we wanted the dowels to go and then drilled a hole straight thru a scrap piece. We lined up the template and stuck the drill bit thru and drilled in about 1/8-1/4". This saved so much time! I didn't need to measure each shelf and where to drill. (I married a smart man!) We cut the dowels 1/2" wider than the shelves and they slid right in with a little dab of glue on each end.
A quick sand, a quick stain, let stand for 24-36hrs, add the casters, nail on the back, then a medium coat of poly urethane, screw on the handle and empty your shelves!!
Look how much room I have! (Wish I would have gotten a before pic! Half of those cans were in this cupboard with the all the rest of what is still in there )
Doesn't she fit well! I need to add a small six inch rail on the wall to keep it from scrapping it all up but my soldier boy can do that with a scrap from the back when he gets home in three weeks.
I will suggest you don't buy small casters (I didn't want them to be than visible). We doubled up three rows of small 50Lb casters (6sm casters in total). Because they each swivel and aren't always swiveling in the same direction it takes a extra pull out and then push back sometimes to line them all up. Another thing my dear soldier boy can help me with when he gets home- we can install the larger 1.5-2" flat ball caster.
For now I am enjoying my new cupboard!
Now to figure out what to do with this over cluttered spice and baking supply cupboard...

  2. Chrissy that is awesome. Keep these directions I may have to do that when we move to a new house. Its amazing how much space cans take up.

  3. SUPER cool!! What an awesome idea!

  4. If you use a fixed (non-swivelling) caster you will not have any problem pulling the shelf in or out. They stay aligned.

  11. I love this idea. There always seems to be wasted space next to the refrigerator. Will send this to my son, and hope he gets the hint!

  12. Very cool idea! I actually have a broom closet next to my refrigerator but I HATE IT!!! This is much more beneficial in my opinion but I have a large pantry already. Wondering how to get some shelves in there... move the broom to the outside... Hmmmmm... you're inspiring me and I'm not handy!!!

    ReplyDelete
  13. So my friend from Kansas posted this on Pinterest (have you been on that site - it's better than facebook!) and I thought "I think that's Chrissy's!"

    Again, awesome job! And just know that you are famous now! lol

  15. Love the idea! Does it block the fridge door from opening at all?

    ReplyDelete
  16. Love it!! too bad my fridge is free standing in the middle of the wall. I would love one,as i have no storage in my kitchen

    ReplyDelete
  17. Wow. That is really awesome!

    ReplyDelete
  18. This is exactly what I need in my kitchen! We have so little cabinet space. Thank you! What do you estimate all the materials cost you in the end?

    Also, here's an idea for your spice cabinet - we've done what Alton Brown does with his. Buy tins and sticky backed velcro and velcro them to the inside of the cupboard doors. You can write on the outsides of them with grease pencils (found at any office supply store) and then keep whatever doesn't fit in a basket somewhere else for refills. The freezer can be great for that actually. We bought our tins at www.specialtybottle.com -- really inexpensive! We use the 4 oz and 2 oz tins.

    ReplyDelete
  19. That is great! I have a 6 inch space next to my fridge and I would LOVE to do this!

    Couple of questions, though...does it slide all the way out, or is there something stopping it from going all the way? I have two little boys, and I could see them pulling it too far and it falling. Is it "tippy" at all?

    ReplyDelete
  20. what a great thing! my cans are in my pantry and i can't see past the first row. i never know what i have! great idea!

    ReplyDelete
  21. This is so super amazing! I love it! I would love to have you come write a guest post about this project on Remodelaholic. If you are interested please let em know and I will get all the details to you!

  25. Really neat! I have a question though, Wouldnt the heat from the fridge cause a problem with the canned goods in that area? But other then that. good way to utilize space..

  28. That's great! I'll see if my husband can make this for me! Love it!

  29. I love it! For spices I purchased a Swivel Store. Kinda cheesy from "As Seen On TV" but it totally works and it uses the same concept as your DIY cabinet.

  30. I cannot wait to build one for my kitchen! Thanks for the tutorial!

  31. I absolutely love this! I only have 1 cabinet in my 1940 bungalow's kitchen-this would let me take the canned goods out of the linen closet!

  35. Are the shelves 4" or 6" deep? Love this idea!

    ReplyDelete
  36. Someone said their fridge is in the middle of the wall--just build it stationary with cans visible OR build it with the plyboard back and paint it with chalkboard paint, use paneling or the vinyl 'tile' or 'marble' for showers.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Oh man! This is what the world needs. Why don't ALL pantries come with this?!

    ReplyDelete
  38. I am so getting my husband to make that, would fit perfect next to our fridge just like yours! We have a tiny kitchen and that would be a huge help to me!

    ReplyDelete
  39. I love this! Do you have a photo of the way you installed the casters on the bottom?

    ReplyDelete
  40. just a Question does it interfere with opening the door to the refridgerator? I love it so want to do one of these!!! GREAT JOB!!!

    ReplyDelete
  41. So my husband just finished making mine. He did it a little different, he made the shelves adjustable. This is such an amazing thing, thank you thank you thank you for giving me the idea. I now have space in my cupboards, I can actually get at all my spices in my spice cupboard.

    Here's a link to my images.

  54. I love this! I'm measuring for it right now. Do you find that the dowels are necessary? I see you don't have them on the bottom few shelves... Do you need them at all?

    Thanks for the inspiration!

  55. Love it! And I am LMAO at your "you never listen to me" discussion with hubby! I so love my husband and all the wonderful projects he makes for me, but seriously... that is exactly how it goes at our house. :)

  61. so jealous. lol. but thats a great idea. i found a 5 drawer shelf. its very narrow but tall. so we repainted it white and i add some shelf liners and now i have extra storage space in my kitchen. i keep potatoes in the top drawer. and tools and grocery bags and i have no clue whats in the other 2 drawers. lol

    ReplyDelete
  62. It is a brilliant idea but doesn't it get hot next the fridge and freezer engines?

    ReplyDelete
  63. We repurposed an antique solid wood door for the base of this project and I added chalkboard paint and cork board space on the pullout side for grocery list, messages, notes from school etc. love it, thanks so much for sharing your brilliant idea.

    ReplyDelete
  64. How heavy is it? And, how do you keep your kids from pulling it out all the time?

  71. p.s. i was looking for a way to refurbish our kitchen/pantry or lack thereof for my husband for our first wedding anniversary, and i noticed that you actually wrote and posted this on our wedding day.. Perhaps it's meant to be!! =)

    ReplyDelete
  72. From my hubby who built this for me :)

    ---
    For those interested in price.
    Our finished product was roughly $130 (not painted, stained or varnished). Dimensions were 66H x 33w x 5.75D without the wheels. 2 inch wheels like recommended raised the unit 2.5 inches. When it was done it was a bit tipsy, which was easily remedied with a small box frame made from leftover wood from this project, one bearing and one 3/8 x 3 inch bolt, washer, and nut.

    For the stability we drilled a 3/8 hole in the very top part of the back left hand corner (when looking at the front of the picture above), so the bolt stuck up above the top of the pantry. We then took the small box that we built (5.75 H x 33W x 2D (it was an extra shelf)) and mounted it over the bolt then screwed it to the wall.
    The box frame will keep the kids from dragging the sliding pantry all around the kitchen because the bolt (post) sticking out of the top back corner will hit the walls of the box.

  77. I actually built almost the same thing built across the face of chimney that runs through my kitchen except it has door on the front. It's the only "Pantry" space in the kitchen (which is apartment sized everything.) but this is excellent! Congrats on a fabulous convenient use of what was once wasted space.

  81. Gramma Jans - I looked to see if I could use the space but I only have 2" - you mentioned the other cupboard with spices - I have used the swivel carousel type in the cupboard for the small items and give to my married children to help organize their own cupboards. For all the plastic containers and lids a put in a bigger box below the cupboards - also put a extra shelf all of the cupboard since I can not stand unused air space - u can put a lot of things in 4 to 6" of space. Sure did like the functional can shelving and the tutorial may use sometime when asked to help someone organize a kitchen. I did put narrow shelving in my sons coat closet - (back of the closet) near the kitchen since they did not have enough cupboard space for canned items

    ReplyDelete
  82. i have that exact same space. i'm so excited to show this to hubby! great job!

  83. what does it mean to router them? can u not use both sides w/o doing that?

  87. Too cool! This will completely work in my apartment. Do you think I could really make this myself if I only have the basic tools and a power drill? I certainly don't have a table saw or anything like that. Still, I'm going to find a way to do this. Terrific idea! Thank you!

    1. You can absolutely do i on your own. I did. The hardware store will cut the wood to size for you *check for warped pieces when you buy it. I used two 2 by 4 for the bottom that I screwed together after drilling the holes. I only needed a drill and wood screws. It is not perfect but as it is beside the fridge, it really doesn't matter. A carpenter friend was impressed that I hade it. I used beadboard for the back. Measure bedside your fridge to make sure you have clearance.

      Delete
  88. While this is an AWESOME idea, I worry that the heat from the fridge would cause problems with the contents of the cans, and also possibly prevent good air circulation around the fridge, causing it to over heat.

    ReplyDelete
  89. I'm so excited about this! We rent our house and the one frustration is how SMALL our kitchen is. We've been storing most of our canned food in the garage. I love my husband dearly, but I think I might be waiting a long time for him to make one of these for me. Instead, I found a dvd storage shelf unit that's 5 1/2" deep and all I need to do is add a back and the wheels! I plan to paint the back and create something to make use of the flat surface. Maybe chalkboard paint for the kids?
    The shelf is about 10" shorter than the top of my fridge, so I'm thinking of attaching some sort of baskets or maybe figuring out how to add on (spice storage?).

  90. Something like this 2" fixed caster on Amazon should do the trick http://tinyurl.com/93gsskt

  92. I was just thinking about how aggravated I am that cans waste so much space on nice deep pantry shelves. This is going on my to do list for sure! Here is what I did for some extra storage on the back of my pantry door. you could easily remodel it for spices: http://dreamingformorehoursinada.blogspot.com/2011/10/pantry-fix.html

  93. Love this idea. I have a very deep pantry like Becky but with a narrow door. very frustrating. I don't know what's in the back. Will definitely consider this. Thanks.

    ReplyDelete
  94. Great idea I will be showing my hubby when he gets in. For the spices, I think the same type of shelf in miniature would do the trick.

    ReplyDelete
  95. Great idea. For those with concerns about stability, children and whether or not it will pull all the way out, consider attaching drawer slides to the wall.

    ReplyDelete
  96. I saw this on Pinterest and made it a few months ago. She had the directions( with measurements) but as I made it on my own, I used a DVD case to measure each shelf to make sure it was level. I held the shelf wih DVD case in place while I drilled. I used wood strips from the craft store instead of dowel rods. More can space and easier to attach. The hardware store cut all the wood for me. I put it together in one night and love it. No more lost cans and I always know what I have except for the largest cans which won't fit.

    ReplyDelete
  97. This is fantastic. I am thinking of building my own kitchen, but we don't have a huge space. I'm loving all the ideas I'm gleaning from pinterest and the blog links attached. Well done, PS, I have just subscribed to your blog.

  101. I don't think much of this tutorial. You don't show what castors you use! In fact you hardly show anything of what you've done..

    I love the idea but this tutorial seriously needs a re-write, proper dimensions written up, thickness of wood used given etc.

    You don't even mention what size holes you've drilled.

    I'd like to make this myself in 2 years time as I will be moving into a new build 2 bedroom flat and won't be allowed to put anything up that attaches to the walls in any way.

    1. drill hole the same size as whatever dowel you use. your choice. use 1x4 which is 3/4 thick by 3 1/2 wide for the frame and shelves. leave enough space under bottom shelf for caster or rollers which ever you choose.

  104. This is a great idea for adding needed storage, however, I have two concerns. My father, and brothers are all refrigeration and AC men and I have consulted with them about my first concern. The reason refrigerators that are not built in have space around them is because they need air space to run efficiently.

    As a nutritionist and former County Extension Nutrition and Food Safety educator, my second concern is about food and spices being stored near a heat source. This is not recommended. Normally, the sides of the refrigerator would not too warm, but when you block of the air circulation they will be warmer, and the bottom couple of shelves will be much warmer. If you install one of these, it would be best to store non-food items. Botulism is an invisible, odorless killer that contaminates canned items that are stored improperly. Heat and spice storage is a no-no too. Many people make the mistake of storing their spices in the cabinet above the stove, but the heat in that cabinet during cooking is too warm and drastically reduces the shelf life of spices.

    I would suggest consulting your refrigerator's owner's manual or manufacturer prior to installing one of these next to your refrigerator. My brother tells me that some of the larger side-by-side units need the air space because of the design, but some of the top or bottom freezer units do not so consulting your manual or an expert on your brand of refrigerator would be wise, they are too expensive to replace.

    All of that being said, this is an awesome idea and set of plans. If your appliance manufacturer gives the green light for airflow allowances, the by all means, go for it, just do not store food or spices in it. I personally have a couple of places I could use one of these that is not affected by heat. I plan on building one in a few days. If it works out as well as I am thinking it will, I defiantly will build a second one.

    Blessings,
    Andi J.

    1. your right about it needing air space to circulate but this can be done in just about any other space where there is no obstruction or heat .

      Delete
    2. Thank you for expressing this so clearly and eloquently. My first thoughts on seeing this were "Yikes! Fire hazard! Appliances need airflow!"
      Followed by "Hrm, foods, heat source, the flavor's not going to last long."

      But the general concept (narrow rack, using space that isn't otherwise useful) is pretty sweet.

  107. thanks for the post this is something I have been asking for a very long time ... I am tired of taking everything out to get one item which of course is always in the back ..,. no matter how I organize the pantry ... so the pull outs is what I have been telling my hubby to get me .. now he can build me one .... thanks your looks awesome ... it must be nice to have organization in the kitchen ... I need one for appliances too :-)

  108. What a great idea! Fantastic! I wish my husband dared to do something similar.

    ReplyDelete
  109. Cool.

    My in-laws did something like this years ago, but using pegboard for MIL to hang pots and pans. I prefer the pantry idea for those of us who don't have an actual pantry (but would love one).

  113. How do you keep it from being pulled out all the way, so it won't tip over?

  115. Nice. However it is HOLE (an opening) not WHOLE (complete)

  116. make you a drill depth jig. take piece of 3/4 by 3/4 piece of wood about 2 in long and drill thru it lengthwise. put bit in drill. slip wood block over bit. by trial and error cut off block of wood until you have 1/4 in plus thickness of your hole jig exposed. ie if your hole jig is 3/4 in thick you need 1 in exposed. now drill as before but with block on bit. every hole will be the same depty

  117. Here are a couple of other considerations:
    1. You could, with a little extra measuring and fit, use a pair of drawer guides ON THE TOP to help guide the pantry in and out, and then you could get away with merely two casters on the bottom (appropriately weight rated!), to guide the weight, versus direction. You could easily use larger casters, by utilizing a skirt at the bottom to cover them all but a 1/4" on the bottom. I also considered using another drawer glide on the bottom, between the wall and the new pantry, a little like you were talking about adding a piece of trim to keep the wall from being scuffed up.

  118. Five of these- two fore and aft one dead center- gives a stable, low profile transport. Five of these rated at 55# each will support 275#- more than adequate. If there is not a Harbor Freight near you, a quick search on the description will provide other sources.

  119. I've seen this done before, using drawer runners attached to the wall in 2 or more places. This makes it work just like a drawer. The problem is finding drawer runners long enough for a deep application like this.

    ReplyDelete
  120. This is a great idea but food won't stay fresh long by that hot running refrigerator. It will cut it's shelf life drastically.

  121. beautiful, I think I might build a wall beside my larder fridge just so that i can have a pull out cabinet ..........or I could simply nail a length of wood on the floor to keep it on the right trac . Thanks for posting this ( I found it on pintrest.) bridie

  134. lots of great comments and ideas...I seriously didn't think of the heat issue...also i'd close in one side and make the shelves adjustable...a simple fan would help with the heat issue I think...still, it's not real hot...maybe 80degress?

    ReplyDelete
  135. I built this last year and used drawer slides attached to the wall and the back of the cabinet, this made it very stable and almost impossible to pull all the way out

    ReplyDelete
  136. I was wondering.......could a person maybe attach a very thin sheet of styrofoam on the side next to the fridge to cut down on heat induction? I realize that wouldn't make it very pleasing to the eye, but I'm more concerned with the storage aspect, which I love, and with my canned goods being exposed to too much heat, which is not recommended for canned goods. Just a thought. Any other ideas out there?

  137. So what did you/did you not end up using?

    ReplyDelete
  138. Did you add wheels or something on the bottom, so the boards don't scrap the floor?

    ReplyDelete
  139. I've seen similar to this before, you need to add a dowel rod about 1 1/2 inches more or less from the bottom of the shelf to keep your cans from falling out

    ReplyDelete
  140. Spice Rack! Get 1/4 round, paint/stain, tack it on the inside of the cupboard doors at the height (3-4 rows) to fit your spices, but won't hit the interior shelving. Cup hooks and screen door springs will keep the spices balanced snug against the door. Been doing this in every house we've lived in for the last 40 years.

    ReplyDelete
  141. No wasted space between my refrigerator and the small pantry cabinet next to it, but to make several of these to sit side-by-side inside my pantry cabinet instead of the deep narrow shelves - what a dream!!! Total elimination of wasted space! I'm all in on this one...

    ReplyDelete
  142. That is nice and all but I would be worried about the heat from the refrigerator keeping those can goods too hot.

    ReplyDelete
  143. Didn't read all the comments so sorry if this is a dup. Why use swivel casters? It is only moving in one plane, in - out. Then no problem with pull out!

  146. Newer fridges don't have the coils on the back. On mine, the heat is forced out from under the fridge... that is why I have to trip over the cats to get into the fridge, or trip over my husbands boots that he puts there to dry out. New kitchen remodel has one on each side of the fridge. I used UNDER-MOUNT drawer slides, TWO ON TOP HOOKED TO TOP CABINET, AND TWO ON BOTTOM HOOKED TO A SMALL PLATFORM. like the $1,000 units you can buy from build.com That don't even include the baskets! This way I can use the saved money for a tropical vacation... just `sayn...

    http://www.build.com/rev-a-shelf-5273-04cr/s870985 $900.00 one, no way.

    Soft close under-mount slides, but there are less expensive ones on the same site. http://www.build.com/hafele-420-01-961/s1191046
