Don’t attach the front piece just yet! Make sure to pre-drill so as not to crack or splinter the wood. Step #2Īttach the 1×2 center support pieces to the back piece using wood glue and wood screws. This will give the length of the center 1×2 pieces that provide the support for the shelves. Measure the depth of the cabinets, and subtract 2.25″ (to account for the thickness of the front and back 1×2 pieces, and the 1×3 trim piece that will be attached to the front). Measure the distance between cabinets, and cut two 1×2 pieces to the desired length. BeforeĪs a reminder, here is what our cabinets looked like before we added the shelves: But don’t let that fool you! These shelves are sturdy and strong!

We thought about putting in a hanging rod between the cabinets, rather than shelves, but soon realized it would be difficult to reach with the countertop installed. Moving on to the shelves! When I ordered my cabinets, I knew I wanted to leave a space between them for showcasing our patterned tile and then add floating shelves. The white paint instantly brightened the room, and looks great! I wanted it to look clean and bright, and I wanted a strong contrast between the black cabinets and walls. However, our laundry room is dark and has zero natural light, and the gray paint made the room look very drab and dull. I love this color, and it works really well as a whole-house gray, for the most part. Yep, white! When we built our home, the builder painted every room in the house the same color (Sherwin William’s Collonade Gray). We made and installed some DIY floating shelves between the two laundry room cabinets, and painted the room a fresh new color – white! Hi everyone! Hope you’ve all had a great weekend so far! We’ve been hard at work in our laundry room this weekend.
