These shelves make colorful storage when painted.
The kitchen is the hub for the family. You make your large family meals and need many utensils, gadgets and appliances. You can never have enough storage space for your kitchen gear. There is a very attractive way to add more storage to your kitchen. Make some shelves to go on an open wall in the kitchen area. They look modern and do not use any floor space.
Instructions
1. You can use these shelves in the kitchen or any other room.
Get one piece of board, 2 x 4 x 36 inches, for each shelf. You also need two decorative shelf L-brackets for each shelf. Spray paint the board and brackets the color you wish to match your kitchen.
2. Decide where you want to hang the shelf. Find the studs in the wall with a stud finder. Mark with a pencil. Then find the next stud within 3 feet and mark it.
3. Hold the decorative L-bracket up on the stud at the height you wish the shelf to be. Use the drill and screw the L-bracket into the wall. The bracket will go under the shelf. Put the second L-bracket up on the wall on top of the other stud you found. Use the level laying on top of both of them to determine when the second bracket is level to the first. Then screw the second bracket into the wall.
4. Lay the painted board across the brackets. If you wish, put a line of glue on top of the L-brackets before you lay the board on them to secure the board to the brackets.
