Thoughts on dish drawer organizers
Comments (9)I initially wanted one, but never got around to getting it, and at this point I don't think it is necessary. Might depend on whether your dishes rattle around or not; ours are stoneware and pretty much stay where we put them, and I don't see the need for it. I'd try it without first and see if it bugs you--they're easy to add!...See MoreDishes and Glasses in Drawers? Pictures Please!
Comments (7)I have my glasses, coffee cups and tea mugs in 2 uppers, but I keep my plates etc in drawers. Best decision ever to put the dishes in drawers in the island just across from the DW. This is really super convenient when unloading! Silverware is in the narrow top drawer. It works really, really well. The drawers are the full extension, soft closes Ikea drawers (so by Blum). No need for dividers because it all fits tightly and I have used the mats Ikea sells that prevent sliding around. I would not hesitate using the Ikea dividers, though. Last year they introduced new drawer dividers and I find these work perfectly in my pot drawers to keep some small stuff (cutting boards and trivets) securely in place. Sorry, no photo of these. Let me know if you want to see them, then I'll snap one. If you'd like to see more of my kitchen, I have added the link below.

Comments (7)Oh dadoes, I just saw your comment. I did get the specs and the DD requires 23 5/8" for the inner cavity. I've talked with a contractor who will be bidding on my kitchen facelift. He thinks I'll need to use a 27" cabinet. The walls of a 24" only leave 22.5" internal cavity and the cutout for the doors is only 21" wide. So, it looks like we'll be going with a 27" cabinet. I looked at the installation manual for the double DD, which does not require a cabinet. It just slides in between two cabinets, so there are no side walls or door/drawer cutouts to contend with. I still have to figure out what is the maximum sink depth, w/drain, that we can use to fit into the space above the DD. Any thoughts on that?...See MoreDish drawer organizer help
Comments (17)Thanks guys! I put the dishes away this weekend (YAY!) and just put them in with no organizer or liner. They are fine for now, but I am sure when we are back in the kitchen fully and the kids are opening and closing the drawer they will rattle them some! I am going to start with a cushy half liner and if that doesn’t work look at other options, either pegs or something else. Hopefully the shelf liner is all I need. Chispa - I would LOVE a knife block in a drawer! I don’t think I have enough drawers for one though. :-(...See Morecarladr
