The kitchen sink cabinet I’m making from two Cassidy Creations Oak Washstand kits has decorative trim under the center cabinets (lined up under the sink). At the bottom of the left and right sides, I’d planned to put a plain piece of wood flush with the front of the cabinet.
But this looks weird to me. My brain is asking, “Why isn’t that another drawer?”
I tried setting it back to make it a toe-kick, but this also looks weird. Seems too tall for a toe-kick.
Okay, so why not use that space for another drawer?
But now I have another problem: I’d planned to use thin 1/32″ dividers between the drawers because the drawers would fit perfectly without sanding. I also think they look nice and proportional compared to the 1/16″ cabinet frame. But if that bottom space has a drawer in it, there are now two 1/32″ dividers and one 1/16″ divider. My perfectionist brain couldn’t stand it.
Instead I’ll use 1/16″ dividers between the drawers, and a thin 1/32″ piece at the very bottom. (If I had used 1/16″ there, the space I was left with would have been smaller than the drawers above it, and a smaller drawer at the bottom also would have looked weird.)
