Yay! I did it... So very pleased.... I did a little decluttering and moved all my canning stuff that really should not have been in this drawer in the first place. I used the Kreg Jig to make pocket holes which I LOVE and highly recommend for joining wood. You can also use countersunk screws instead. So for my custom drawer redo I purchased 1 piece of 1x3" wood... I think it was around $2.50 at Lowes. I measured my drawer... my cuts approx cuts were two 19" pieces, two 8" pieces, and one that was around 12"...I did get all of my needed cuts from that 1 piece of wood! Crazy that I probably paid about the same for the 2 baskets that poorly fit in the drawer... and left a ton of space where everything would just get jumbled. Now for the silverware drawer!!!

| For a while I just cut 1 piece of wood... I really wanted to figure out just how I wanted to divide the drawer up |
 |
| I ended up with approx 2- 8" cuts, 2- 19" cuts and 1 about 12". Here is my 1x3 wood cut and I joined them using the Kreg Jig |

| Ready to play in the drawer! |

| Here it is all organized! Yay! I did not screw it to the drawer itself... but it fits securely in place... I am very pleased with it! |
