Hi,



I left some space under my kitchen sill:



https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B3SE...Vjc0tlMDA/edit



It's the space with the onion.



Now, I'm brainstorming about a way to finish it off. I'd like not to

lose

the space. Any suggestions?



Perhaps there are hinges that would let a horizontal door drop
down. Or

some swing out solution?



Any suggestion would be appreciated.



First of all, if that is a faux marble sill (or real marble or any
other

kind of stone) it needs more support or it is very likely to get
broken.

I would...



1. Insert a wood support, centered, front to back. A snug fit at
top &

bottom and secured with a bit of silicone or epoxy against lateral

movement would be sufficient.



2. Wood face frame all around the opening; that will also support the

sill. Groove top & bottom rails for 1/4" sliding doors, one on the
left,

one on the right. The rails - but not necessarily the stiles -
would need

to be about 1 1/4" thick to accomodate the doors.

Personally, I would have just drywalled over it. He already has a
space above it to put some stuff on. The little space isn't big
enough to be of much use and it would look better without it.

I suggest a trim piece that has hidden spring loaded hinges , make it a
hidey-hole . It's long enough for a carbine and a bugout bag ...
