The next step is to attach the front piece: You can see I decided to stagger them so I had room for my lamp. Seriously my friends – this is such a simple project! If you are familiar with tools at least a little bit I know you can do this. For the end I used an anchor – drilling a hole where it would go and then moving the brace a bit to put the anchor in: I only hit one stud but that was fine because I was attaching them to the cabinets as well. You’ll want to mark your studs and screw into them: I drill a pilot hole and then use two inch screws to attach the supports.ĭo not attach the front piece just yet – leave it off so you can easily put the brace on the wall. So knowing I would have one on the front and the back I made my cuts accordingly for the supports.

Then I decided on shelving but my idea for two full shelves changed because of the lamp I added behind the washer and dryer a few months back. ![]() At first I was going to add a pole to hang clothes out of the dryer, but then realized that wouldn’t work because it would be too awkward to reach over the machines. It took me awhile to decide exactly what I wanted up there – as with everything in our house I have to live with it for awhile before I make a move. I wanted to add some to our laundry room above the washer and dryer: ![]() Building your own wood shelves is really such an easy DIY project – and they are great for storage for sure. I’ve shared this tutorial before but it’s such a good one it’s worth sharing again. The materials have been in the garage for weeks so I went for it. Also, you can make your shelves totally adjustable with this shelf pin jig.I was able to finish up a project this weekend I’ve been wanting to build these floating shelves for quite some time. She used some scrap plywood she had and actually made the face frame trim by ripping scrap 2×4 down! If you don’t have a table saw to do this, there are also store-bought options, like lattice molding or lath.

We’re sharing the free plans and tutorial for you! You can download the free plans by clicking the gray button below, and be sure to read Shelly’s tutorial, where she shares a lot more photos and building tips. I love how compact the design is, and yet it’s got plenty of functionality. After the holidays were over, Shelly found that she needed a way to organize her wrapping paper and gift bags, so she made this Behind-the-Door Storage Shelf! But first, let’s get 2018 wrapped up like a bow. Hello and happy FriYAY, friends! I’m so excited to be working with Shelly from 100 Things 2 Do again this year!
