An appliance garage is a quick fix to clear up counter clutter in a kitchen or other work area. Most people locate an appliance garage in the corner, because the corner area offers more depth for storage than a garage flush under the cabinet. Step 1 Make a face frame out of ½ inch furring strips. Attach the furring strips to the wall meeting at the back corner. Attach a second set of strips to the wall strips perpendicular to the wall and at a 45 degree angel from the back splash.
