![]() You can see I decided to stagger them so I had room for my lamp. Seriously my friends – this is such a simple project! If you are familiar with tools at least a little bit I know you can do this. For the end I used an anchor – drilling a hole where it would go and then moving the brace a bit to put the anchor in: I only hit one stud but that was fine because I was attaching them to the cabinets as well. You’ll want to mark your studs and screw into them: ![]() I drill a pilot hole and then use two inch screws to attach the supports.ĭo not attach the front piece just yet – leave it off so you can easily put the brace on the wall.

My cabinets are 12 inches deep so you have to do some figuring – the 1x2’s aren’t really one by two inches at all – the width is 3/4 of an inch.

It took me awhile to decide exactly what I wanted up there – as with everything in our house I have to live with it for awhile before I make a move. I wanted to add some to our laundry room above the washer and dryer: Building your own wood shelves is really such an easy DIY project – and they are great for storage for sure.
