1. Measure the Wood
Start by measuring the width of your sink. In my case, I have a small 24-inch wide sink.
Head to the hardware store and pick up wood that matches or can be cut to your desired size.
Determine how high you want your shelf to be, especially if you have a high faucet. Adjust your measurements to suit your sink and faucet height.
2. Cut the Wood to Size
Cut your wood to the appropriate length.
Make sure your cuts are straight for a professional finish. Sand the edges to remove any splinters or rough spots.
3. Assemble the Shelf
Take the two pieces of wood and attach them using L-brackets.
To keep the rough edge of the wood from showing on the top, attach the L-bracket underneath the top part of the shelf.
Secure the L-brackets tightly with screws to ensure stability.
4. Install the Shelf
Place the assembled shelf on your sink.
You can customize your over the sink storage shelf to match your bathroom's decor. Stain or paint the wood to your liking. This step is optional but can enhance the look of the shelf.
