Best Abode Diy - Betwixt The Studs Shelf - Cupboard Makeover Part-2

Hi everyone!

Here is what's going on amongst this closet, but hi first, simply inward illustration you're novel hither allow me hand you lot a trivial re-cap.

This is my son's room, amongst the cupboard earlier too afterward removing the door too wall surrounding it. You tin read nigh it correct HERE.

In my terminal post, I shared amongst you lot the edifice of the shelves on the dorsum wall.

But, fifty-fifty earlier edifice those shelves, equally presently equally I complete getting rid of the door too wall, I knew I wanted to add together something on the left side, to a greater extent than precisely within the wall, inward betwixt the studs. That was the solely infinite I could utilize.

So, I grabbed my oscillating tool too began cutting the drywall to brand the infinite for a shelf. The tool I used the most for this entire projection was my Rockwell Sonicrafter X2, it made the whole projection slowly to accomplish.

This is what I establish afterward removing some other purpose of the drywall:

Since this isn't a charge bearing wall, I moved that stud out of the way. The horizontal studs were cutting through the wall, you lot tin run into the openings below.

I made it that agency because I didn't desire to frame the shelf.
After cutting the horizontal studs, the vertical stud was removed past times hitting it on the bottom purpose amongst a hammer.
The same stud was too thus placed inward its novel infinite too nailed to the remaining horizontal studs too at the operate past times too bottom.

Then, it was fourth dimension to laid upwardly the shelf. The brain cloth used was 1 x 4's. It was built to suit mobile flip-out bins I bought at The Container Store. They select grooves along all sides for stacking them together... next or 1 on operate past times of the other.

For my projection they had to live stacked vertically. Using, again, my oscillating tool, I removed the grooves on the sides for a cleaner look.

All the 1 x four pieces were cutting too painted.

And then, the shelf was assembled amongst mucilage too brad nails.

H5N1 dry-fit earlier attaching the backing. ;)
For the dorsum I used ½" MDF, which brings the whole shelf even out amongst the drywall in 1 trial installed.

But, equally usual, walls are non perfect! :/
Every fourth dimension I pushed the bottom purpose of the shelf, the operate past times purpose would stick out, too vice-versa.

In the end, the shelf was screwed to the 2x4's on each side, trying to force it the most I could within the wall. It wasn't a perfectly even out jibe amongst -the wall, but I'm happy amongst it.

After caulking all to a greater extent than or less too sanding it smooth, it looked agency better.
However, the flip-out bins, that I intend are non bad for my boy to shop his belts too minor stuff, looked form of sad, or equally my miss said: "too plastic-ly".

So, I gave them a trivial makeover. You tin banking concern check the post right HERE for the flip-out bin transformation.

I'm inward honey amongst the novel bins! They jibe much meliorate the boy'ish pattern of the closet. ;)

As you lot tin see, I also added beadboard wallpaper on the back. Here the operate past times of the shelf:
