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.

Thanks!

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 ...

what is inside the wall below the onion space? More usable space if opened
up?

I'd pack it with crumpled news papers, so the cold
doesn't keep falling out. Oh, wrong thread. Sorry.
