This shelf fits anywhere between studs (behind a door for example) spaced 16-in. on center. Build the box as tall as you want. (It could be a broom closet!) What to Do

1. Use 14-1/4 in. wide, 1 x 4 boards screwed together at each corner with 1-5/8-in. drywall screws.



2. Frame the box with trim that matches other trim in the room. Nail and glue on a 1/4-in.–thick plywood back. Cut out the hole in your wall.




3 Screw or nail the box to the studs through the sides of the box. You can finish yours off with a 1 x 4 shelf.
