Project IKEA Hack Shower Shelf

Plagued with the typical 32"x 32" builder special shower stall, I went on a mission to find a practical way to store my shower items without worrying about them getting knocked over of falling off the wall.
On a trip to IKEA I came across the GRUNDTAL hanging system and found a kit that contained three stainless steel shelves that attach to bars and hook over a rail. Without the bars they were perfect mountable shower shelves that could easily be hung on either side of our shower head.
After a quick coat of oil rubbed bronze spray paint, Matt hung them on the wall using wall anchors and screws. He covered the screw heads with silicone to prevent them from rusting.
The end result no more shampoo perched on tiny ledges. Everything is up off the floor and well within our reach.
