Perfect DIY Frame Shelf

I think that I am finally ready to start the fun process of really decorating my house. Yes, I have things on shelves and pillows on couches but I haven't really begun to hang things on the wall. With that being said I think that I will start with one room at a time. I completed my daughter's room about 3 months ago and that seemed like a wonderful project to do, but as to where to go from there I wasn't sure. So I've decided to start small. A bathroom. I can't screw that up right, not too many holes and not too much decor.
I came across this bathroom makeover on iheartnaptime (by the way love this blog) and fell in love with this shelf frame that this she found. I didn't even try to find it since she said she had purchased it years ago. So what was my first thought? I can make one. Easy right? Actually it was. But it took me months to get motivated to do it. See I am ashamed to say that I bought the frame in October, thinking the whole time "I'll do this for my next blog post." I can't tell you how many times my sisters heard me say that. Good news is I am finally doing it. I also did some research and found this great tutorial to help me get started.







Supplies
16X24 Frame
12 1/2 Feet 1X3-Got mine at Home Depot at $1.29 a Foot
L Brackets
Wood Glue
Hammer/Nail Gun-What I used, much easier
Brad Nails-If not using a nail gun
Spray Paint











Cut out two 1X3's at 24 inches and 2 at 14 1/2 inches. I used a compound miter saw. Place inside the frame to make sure they fit snug. I used a nail gun for this project and it made it much simpler.





Cut two 1X3's at 22 3/8, these are for your vertical boards of your shelf. Nail them in place.





You will cut eight 1X3's at 4 3/8 inches. Some of these will be tight, I had to adjust my sizes a little as I was placing them on the shelf. nail them into place.
