"Living in a pre-war apartment comes with equal amounts of charm and challenges. Original moldings; thick, sound-proof walls; and hardwood floors? Charming! Outdated plumbing, a minuscule kitchen, and an even smaller bathroom? Pretty challenging, let me tell you. Although I'm reluctant to do major changes to the bathroom so I can preserve the original tile, I'm anxious to ditch the pedestal sink because of its extreme lack of storage."
"Instead of complaining and not doing anything (who, me?), Andrea bought two RÅGRUND sink shelves for $39.99 each from IKEA. The shelf has a triangular shape that perfectly cuddles up to the sink pedestal. With one shelf on either side of the pedestal, there's now stylish storage for all of Andrea's toilet paper, tissues, and sleek MUJI baskets. The result was so simple, yet so effective - and I haven't forgotten about it since."
Pre-war apartments offer original details like moldings, thick walls, and hardwood floors while often having outdated plumbing and very small kitchens and bathrooms. Preserving original tile can limit bathroom renovations, leaving a pedestal sink with almost no storage. A simple DIY uses two RÅGRUND triangular sink shelves from IKEA, placed one on each side of the pedestal, to create concealed, stylish storage for toilet paper, tissues, and baskets. Each shelf costs about $39.99 and fits snugly around the sink pedestal. Small, affordable changes can improve function without compromising historic features.
