It’s my favorite sealer to use on stained or raw wood pieces because it’s so durable and only requires one coat (again, impatient!). Once the stain was fully dry, I sealed the shelves using Varathane’s Triple Thick Poly. I love that it’s faster to use (I’m impatient!) and the color is beautiful with just one coat.

The staining process is very simple – just wipe on the stain using a lint-free cloth, allow it to set for about 2-3 minutes, then wipe off the excess! Be sure to pay special attention to the timing – most stains require you to let them sit 5-10 minutes to achieve full color, but this one only needs a couple. I’m always a big fan of how their stains go on, and the colors are pretty perfect. I used Varathane’s Dark Walnut to stain the shelves. 2X12 Pine Board (We bought a 12′ board and had them cut it in half in the store for easier transportation).

How to Hang DIY Open Bathroom Shelves Materials Needed: It’s a much more logical place for them (it’s deeper and way closer to the shower), and it means we don’t have to worry about always having them perfectly folded and looking nice.Īlright, let’s discuss the details of how these shelves were put together. When we organized and re-arranged our vanity, we managed to find some room in there for our bath-sized towels. You may notice that we don’t have all of our towels up there anymore. Plus, no door to open means I don’t hit my head anymore, thank goodness. These shelves were easy to hang, and they look significantly better. And if I can replace an ugly storage solution with a pretty one, I’ll do it every time. In addition to not being super functional, it didn’t look great. I can’t even tell you how many times I forgot it was open and whacked my head on the corner of it after using the bathroom. Not only is an always-open cabinet door not all that pretty to look at, it’s also a serious head-hitting hazard.

I promised that every project in this room would be affordable, so look for a full budget breakdown at the end of the post. Today, we’re chatting about the DIY open shelves we hung above the toilet.The first project we completed was giving the vanity an overhaul using Rust-Oleum’s Cabinet Transformations kit, along with some simple spray paint for the hardware.You can see the intro to the project, along with the “before” photos here. We’re currently giving our master bathroom a mini-makeover using (almost) nothing but paint.If you haven’t been following along on our bathroom makeover so far, let me catch you up.
