Self built shelf.

This is the story of an old bed head which I was considering just giving away but suddenly had a fabulous idea of how I could use it. It just happened to be the perfect size!

First I unscrewed the top shelf from the rest. For this project I was only using the shelf.

Then I cleaned it off and found that it was the most perfect fit under the window. The window already looked fine but there is not much storage in our laundry and I'm always a lover of more storage.

The end of the shelf needed to be cut ever so slightly to fit around the door pane.

We lined up the shelf so it was exactly under the window and used brackets and drilled holes at the top to hold it in place. Once the screws were put in, it was reasonably held up but we choose to also add brackets to both the door panes to add extra strength- which is very important to us as we knew maisy would lie underneath it.

Once attached it was time for the fun part, decorating!

So for $7.50 (the cost of the brackets) we had a new shelf and finally somewhere to keep extra toilet paper and laundry things!
