I needed some extra storage space in my bathroom, so Grunt Labor made these great shelves to go above my toilet!
They were super simple. We just took small pieces of wood strips, attached them to the wall, and put MDF on top of the strips.
Then, we just added molding! I'm still playing with the decor, but I'm loving them right now!
Those look very nice! I've come with some great ideas for built in shelving (at least to me!) in our home, but then I remember that we're only renters. Phooey! haha
ReplyDeleteA perfect solution for a space that never has enough storage. We just did something similar in our girls' bathroom in an odd little alcove behind a door. Twisterbars- we are renters too and do it anyway. Wholes are easy enough to patch when you leave. Live in your home and make it work for you!
ReplyDeletei love this! we have some big, bulky cabinets my husband got on clearance at home depot. they do the job, but this is just so much better on the eyes! :P we'd love for you to share this at our Sunday Best link party going on now. http://griffithsrated.blogspot.com/2012/04/sunday-best-42912.html

DeleteVisiting from the 2012 Pinfest link up. I have the same type of narrow toilet area and love this idea for it!
ReplyDeleteMichelle, Thanks for stopping by! I love having the extra storage in my bathroom with these shelves! It makes a weird kind of space useful!
DeleteThese shelves look fabulous! and you make it look so simple too :) This would be perfect for my laundry room that I'm working on now. Pinning for a reminder :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for following The Thriftiness Miss too.. GFC following you back now. Have a great day!
Thank you!! They are SO simple!! Thanks for pinning and I'm so excited that you are following now!!
DeleteSo simple and easy!! Love it!
ReplyDeleteYes, Mandy they were! Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteThose look great! I have a little over the toilet nook like that in my hall bath, too....keeping this in mind for whenever I get around to redoing that bath.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Gretchen! They were way easy to do! So happy you dropped by!
DeleteLove this idea for our tiny half-bath! One question for you: what is the depth of the boards? I have some 1 x 10 and 1 x 8, so I wasn't sure if one of those would work. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteMissy, thanks for stopping by! These were way easy to make! The depth of our shelves are 8 inches without the molding. That adds a 1/4 inch or so. We had enough room to do 10 inches deep, but just went 8, so I think you could do either one! Would love to know how they turn out! Thanks for stopping by again!
DeleteOooh, love this one too! Pinned! Thanks for all the great ideas! :) Diana Rambles' Pin Me Party. :)
ReplyDeleteChristine :)
