In the bedroom of The Guppy there was a cabinet that wasn't really useful. It had a rod for hanging clothes but the cabinet wasn't tall enough for most things you would put on a hanger. Also it got in the way when making the bed or if you wanted to turn the mattress over.

| The cabinet with padded strips around the bottom. Can't understand why there was a gap between it and the overhead cabinet. |
The Old Lady wanted it gone so I removed it. Turned out it wasn't too hard to remove. It was screwed to the walls. Once I took some paneling off I was able to get at the screws.
 |
| Cabinet removed. |
We figured the thing to do was install a shelf in the space where the cabinet was.
 |
| Pieces parts. These were cut from pieces of the cabinet. |
 |
| The shelf. |
 |
| Used paneling to cover the shelf and piece across the front was framework for the door opening. |
Now we have a shelf for storage and the cabinet that was getting in the way is gone. When the cabinet was there I had to be careful getting into and out of bed. Now it's no longer a problem.
