Storage Shelves Project!
Another unplanned project...I really need to get my stuff together!
I started with 2X4's!
This room is almost too small to work in, so building the frame was tricky. All I knew, was that I wanted the shelves to look like part of the room and I didn't want to block the window or exhaust fan.
I used 4 screws to attach the shelf supports to the posts, two from the inside and two from the outside.
The shelf supports are giant rectangles that makeup the frame and the actual shelves will sit on them.
I used two screws to attach the end pieces to the two side pieces.
The posts are holding the supports up.
Add the middle supports when the frame is finished.
I filled in the screw holes with wood putty and sanded.
This is a really easy build! Just posts holding up supports that look like ladders.
I painted the frame the same color as the room.
This is the same cedar I used for the ceiling!
I stained the wood the same color as the ceiling too and used black screws to attach it to the supports.
I'm about to store so much stuff!

This would be absolutely the perfect solution for my laundry room. Thank you for sharing it.

Wow, I love the cedar, and the stain! So many times you see cedar with an orange hue; this is a nice change.
I am wondering if you ever want to open, clean, or do maintenance on the window? I'm a smidge over 5 ft tall and I'd strain my back doing anything with that window.
I follow you and enjoy all your projects. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you! The exhaust fan and window need a good cleaning once or twice a year. I live in a farming countryside area of Japan and the dust is unbelievable on windy days.
