When exactly? - When do I plan to do a secret storage? Before building the walls? or just drill the wall? »
· Comment · 8 months ago
number_3 Thanks, but usually I see many in-wall cabinets large, small, thin or deep, are they really planned before even building the walls? Or as long as I have the plans I know where to drill?

What Houzz contributors are saying:
Medicine cabinets often fall prey to unwanted perusal. Store any embarrassing items (fungus cream?) in a cabinet like this one, hidden in the beadboard.
added by Pangaea Interior Design, Portland, OR to Powder Rooms That Really Perform
This little secret compartment is built into the wall so it takes up no precious floor space. I would leave it open, just like this, when guests are at the house.
The sliver of space next to this sink could have languished unused, but these homeowners saw an opportunity and pounced. A tiny recessed cabinet offers just enough room to keep bath necessities from crowding the sink.
