Long, low, framed storage ledge

Recommended Posts

We're working on a build with a long, low, framed ledge beneath a couple of windows with some kind of integrated storage – currently trying to figure out how the storage will work. We opted to just frame it instead of doing full cabinetry to save money. We might just put drywall on top and figure out some kind of drawer fronts for each section of the framing.

 

I'd love to model this out in Home Designer. The Cabinet tools seem to get me somewhat close, but it seems like I might be using the wrong tool for the job. Would anyone be able to guide me on this? Getting it to wrap around the very small divider wall on the far right is especially tricky.

 

Thanks!

cabinet will not work as you are framing with 2x4s....

Cabinets are plywood boxes with drawers and doors on a face frame.

 

So you could draw this as a special wall and ceiling structure room. for wall change dims and spacing of stud

 

Personally I would remove all this framing.

Finish out room like it was never there expect do not apply any window trim yet.

So flooring is under what ever you make to allow for future changes and just looks better.

 

Have a custom cabinet made.

No toe kick

Counter top could be plywood or butcher block or stone etc account for choice in design and could be window stool or just come up and align with it...

Here is where you need design it before building.

I see 3 boxes each having 2 doors maybe inset doors or full coverage doors

 

Maybe make them lower so they become window seats and then only the top is hinged to lift up and store junk inside.

 

These are the fun projects trim carpenters love.

 

Hell reply with dims I might like to have a stab at design.
