Anyway, my goal for March was pretty simple. I have big cupboards in my house that have no shelves, just the big space. I think that is great for the cupboard under the kitchen sink, but several others were really hard to keep organized.
I decided on 5 cupboards that needed a shelf (here are pictures from 2 of them). It was a little bit complicated since the holes that had been pre-drilled into the sides were bigger than standard so I had to special order the shelf pins. All of the cupboards had a drain pipe (under bathroom sinks) or a gas line (under the cooktop in the kitchen) so I had to cut the shelf to accommodate for that as well as cut each piece down to fit the cupboard.
Once the pins arrived it was really only a matter of a day to do the actual work. Ta da!
I know this was a really simple project, but having a deadline made me finally get around to it and honestly, for several days after I was done I would peek into those cabinets just because it made me so happy!
Next month I'll tell you about painting/spring cleaning all of the kids bedrooms :)

I love that you think this project was easy. Cutting around pipes=hard. And, you didn't even mention but did you custom make the shelves? REALLY HARD. I'm not even allowed to touch the power tools at my house.;) The cabinets look great and you should be proud of that accomplishment.
I'm impressed with the foresight to order the pins to hang the shelves. But when there's a deadline and pictures to be taken you got the shelves in! Way to go. I really need to do this under the range in my kitchen. Such wasted space and noisy unstacking pots to cook. Thanks for the inspiration.
I love this project! Cupboards without shelves would be awful!! It looks fabulous!
So smart to use this wasted space! Great idea!
