My vanity cabinet intersects the end wall at 45°.I wanted to use the resulting space effectively and decided to hide a small trash can there.The available space was just the right fit for an empty 1-gal.dry wall-mud container.With the bottom cut out,it acts as a support ring for a trash bag secured with a rubber band.I mounted a shelf inside the cabinet door and cut a hole in it for the container. The cabinet door swings out from the bottom,which prevents the shelf from interfering with the door frame.The vanity doors all look the same from the outside,so a tug on this particular door's handle results in a slight surprise.A catch at the end of a thin oak strip lets the door fall open just enough to expose the trash can.Pressing this springy strip releases the catch,allowing the door to open wider for access to the cleaning supplies stored in the cabinet.A small brass plaque on the door identifies the trash location for guests.
