Small Lidingo kitchen - Hampshire, UK

That's exactly what we are going to do: One deep drawer and one shallow drawer. Plus, my wife reminded me that the kids are growing up fast, so the downward door opening style is not going to be an issue for too long.

Today's little project:

Using some of the offcuts from the Numerar oak worktop I've made some floating shelves to go by the door. The wall jogs in about 5 inches here so I cut two shelves to that depth.

The brackets were very simple ones off eBay - just a 12mm diameter rod and two screw holes:

It was quite a time consuming job drilling out the holes in the wood - I don't have a drill press so it was a case of lining up the holes by eye.

Then I had to chisel out a recess for the back of the brackets.

The brackets are quite a close fit in the wood so just a squirt of gap-filling adhesive before final fitting makes them nice and solid. I found some old Kilner jars in the loft which will be a perfect fit for the shelves and hold flour, pasta etc - one is in the pic below:
