Storage in Small Half Bathroom

by Wendy W
We needed a space to store bathroom supplies, such as extra toilet paper, toothbrushes, & hair accessories in our tiny powder room. We used the space above the toilet to create floating shelves to hold all the necessities.
We began by making wooden braces & nailing them into the wall.
Then we cut some finished plywood for the shelves & my husband used a router to create the cap for the front of the shelves. Depending on how think you want the shelves, you could probably use a piece of trellis wood for the end.
Next, we installed the top & bottoms of the shelves by nailing them to the braces. Finally, we nailed the fronts to the shelves.
Floating shelves provide lots of storage in a tiny bathroom.

    Beautiful! So much nicer than the pre-fab metal/glass ones!

    This looks great, but I'm unsure how you attached the top and bottom part of the shelves to the bracket, and then also how you attached the front to the top and bottom.
