Last Saturday I was back in the master bedroom for a quick little project. When I redid the closet last year I knew I probably wanted to add a shelf across the top of the long hanging rod and give it a more finished look. This was the final thing I needed to do in order to bring the master closet renovation to completion.
Fortunately everything I needed to do this project I already had in my garage so this project didn't cost me anything and I was able to use up some things and get them out of the garage. I used a narrow piece of wood I had acquired some time ago from the FREE WOOD bin near where I work to make brackets and the end of a shelf I had leftover from when I added a new shelf to our pantry.
After cutting the pieces to size I gave the two shelf brackets a quick spray of white paint and allowed them to dry before drilling pilot holes and attaching them in place. I used a level to make sure the shelf was straight and the shelf brackets were in the right place. A little bit of construction adhesive and two screws were used to attach the one bracket to the closet organizer. Finished nails were adequate for the one I attached to the side of the shelves in the linen closet portion.
With the shelf now installed I gained a lot of extra storage space to keep the ten boxes of facial tissues I bought last week on sale as well as some of or extra packages of toilet paper we have. I also like how much more finished the closet organizer appears now. Definitely well worth the effort.
Nice job!
ReplyDeleteThank you. Amazing how nice it is to have that little shelf.
DeleteGreat job! You’re like me. I’ve got a good stock of toilet paper but not Kleenex.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I figured TP was more important. Now I can work on tissues. :)
DeleteThat looks great. I installed shelves to convert a closet to all shelves once. Now, i wish I had the same dexterity and a level! God job.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
