Welcome to our inaugural HOMEmakers Moment! These ‘moments’ are informative tidbits that we can’t wait until our next letter to share.

We recently discovered Black & Decker’s Complete Guide to Cabinets & Countertops at the library, and it has so many great suggestions. Here’s one we can’t stop thinking about: the full-height medicine cabinet.

It snugs right into the standard space between wall studs, so it takes up no floor space. Shallow, adjustable shelves would keep everything in view and easy to reach. You can mount a full-length mirror to the outside and trim the whole thing to match the room. Who wouldn’t want one of these?!
