When John was remodeling for us,
he moved our bathtub from the storage room to
the new bathroom. One challenge he encountered was the tub's direction. In the storage room, it was a left hand installation. Now it needed to go right, leaving the tub's end open and quite ugly.
Rather than adding a panel to close the hole, he built a simple storage shelf. John had a leftover 1 by 12 of finished pine. A few cuts, screws, and the tub now has an attractive, and functional closure. The natural wood matched the window frames, but I wanted a bit more colour in the room.
After a coat of wood primer, I used
Krylon Indoor/Outdoor Gloss spray paint. Our transition float was a safe place for spraying. Now my inexpensive bathroom shelf is the spot of colour I was looking for, and
a match for my redone Economy Shop bargain end table. For about $10 for primer and paint for the shelf, I have some really colourful and inexpensive bathroom storage. -- Margy

Wow, that's perfect, Margy. I love the color. The natural wood was very nice, and I might not have thought to paint over it, but this blue really pops!

Good job - keeps all necessities close at hand!
ReplyDeleteVery clever! You can never have too much storage, that's for sure. The color is terrific!
