We have this weird diagonal counter top. It makes sense for making the most of the size of the kitchen for cabinetry, etc., but it comes with challenges, including organizing the flatware. That grip mat barely made a difference with stuff sliding around, too.
I have a lot of scrap of the 1/8" veneer plywood used to back the bookcase I recently finished and realized it would be perfect for making drawer dividers/organizers! I decided to start with this trapezoidal drawer, because why go easy on myself?
I originally was going to make 5 slots; one for each piece of a 5-piece place setting. They were really wide, tho! I’m a person who sees those professionally orgainzed pantries and after marvelling at the improvement, notices all the cubic inches “going to waste.” So I added one for chopsticks, which we actually use fairly often, especially during ramen season.
I may add one divider in the back, but we’ll see how using this goes.
Thanks, everyone! Last night when I went into this drawer for a table knife, I was pleasantly surprised by the tidiness of the drawer and the accessibility of the knife section!
