Freestanding Over the Toilet Storage
It's a ladder shelf for over the toilet storage. It was so easy to make, and very inexpensive, but adds a ton of storage and beauty - all without having to drill holes in the wall and hang something over the toilet.
The bottom shelf is just perfect for baskets, and the upper shelves are perfect for decor or toiletries.
Easy Wood Stain Finish
A project this quick and simple requires an easy finish. So I used Danish Oil - it's one VERY easy step that stains, seals and protects, all without brush marks. It took me about 15 minutes to stain, seal and protect this shelf.
It is my new favorite way to finish pieces for sure now! I did a post last week on Danish Oil and all the colors availabe here. Go check it out and start using it, you will love it. More building, less finishing :) And that's it for this over the toilet storage shelf!
