I do know what you’re pondering proper now. “Abby, is {that a} image a WC? I believed you had been engaged on a kitchen renovation?” You’ll be appropriate. We’re smack in the midst of a big kitchen renovation, so clearly it’s the right time to spruce up our powder room too, proper? {At the least that’s what I’ve been making an attempt to inform my husband… 😉 } This room is near the kitchen and is very small, so whereas we had been working in that basic neighborhood of the home, I figured, why not give it just a little refresh?
Because the kitchen is sapping most of my decor funds lately, I’m protecting it tremendous easy and doing all the things on a budget, and the very first thing I made a decision to do was make just a little shelf for over the commode. {And once I say “I,” I in fact imply that Donnie helped with the device half. 🙂 } So I did what I at all times do once I first begin a mission: I started looking out my home for issues I might use to make the shelf I had envisioned. Initially, I believed we might simply put it collectively utilizing some MDF scraps we had within the storage. And THEN I remembered that in my swag bag from the Haven Convention, I had two fairly little wood corbels that might be completely *good* for this mission! {Thanks for these, Osborne Wooden Merchandise!!!}
Since I already had the corbels, I had Donnie minimize down a chunk of scrap MDF (mine was 25″ x 7.5″) for the highest of the shelf, and we additionally used drywall anchors and wooden screws to place all of it collectively. This was significantly the best little shelf within the historical past of DIY cabinets.
After Donnie had minimize the MDF to the scale we needed, we simply needed to connect it to the corbels. He first used a countersink drill bit to pre-drill the holes, after which adopted that up by screwing in the wooden screws to carry all the things in place.
I then gave all the things a couple of coats of white paint, and it was prepared to hold! Simple peasy!
Oh and naturally I had so as to add some pretties on high as a result of that’s the easiest half! Protecting my low funds aim in thoughts, the shelf and all the things on high of it value me a grand complete of $0. Woot!
That floral “print”? It’s wrapping paper from Goal that I’ve had for a couple of months, simply ready for the right probability to make use of it. The greenery within the mason jar– I imagine these are technically weeds that I plucked from our entrance yard. 🙂
The “You might be my favourite season” print is from Naptime Diaries and was a part of a Joyful Mommy Field (now ended) many months in the past. The books had been my grandmother’s, and the entire different little tchotchkes had been simply objects I’ve collected through the years. Yay free!
I’m already loving our candy and easy shelf, and I can be again with alllllll of the remainder of the powder room particulars on Monday! {Oh I’m such a meanie! 😉 } Get pleasure from your weekend, candy buddies!
