White Wall Cubbies for the Bathroom
I love the white wall cubbies in the PB catalog this year.
So I set out to make one for myself.
I began with another roadside find, U.G.L.Y. but it had much potential.
I removed the backing because it was a crazy 1 1/2" thick!
Next I glued all the shelves together with wood glue.
I doubled up wood shims, cut each one to size and added them to the front of the shelves so there would be a ledge on each shelf.
I had to think about what I wanted to use for a backing piece.
On the last wall cubbie I made, I used fabric for the backing, this time I cut a piece of masonite to size and nailed it on.
I painted, sanded and clear waxed the whole piece with
Annie Sloan's chalk paint in Old White.
Then I nailed on some metal labels from Michaels,
I quickly hung it up in my master bathroom before anyone else decided to snag it for their bathroom!
It was the perfect spot for it!
I hope you enjoyed this project and you'll take a look at my Amazon Shop for craft supplies I recommend. Also while you're here please sign up for the Homeroad emails on my sidebar so I can send my latest DIY post straight to you.
