When my wife and I decided to give our bathroom a makeover, we were full of ideas but short on money. So we did it ourselves. We made this wall-hung shelf unit. The nice thing about this project is that all of the materials are readily available at your local hardware store or home center. This project uses standard 3/4” thick 1” x 6” pine for the top, bottom, and side pieces. The remainder 3/4” thick material I mill to 1/2” thick for the shelves and the drawer pieces. Rabbet and dado joinery is used to attach the sides to the bottom and top. Tongue and groove joinery is used for drawer construction. A decorative molding adds a nice detail to the top.
