Materials: Expedit 2x2 shelving unit
Description: Ever thought that the Expedit series took a bit too much space? My very small hallway had no space for a full version of the Expedit as the front door couldn't open... This is how I did it:
First I marked up the cut plane on the assembled Expedit 2x2, the plane is a bit shifted in this case, as the shoes to the left are bigger than the shoes at the right :)
Then it took it apart and cut the different pieces with a fine hand saw.
I then reused the cut-off-piece as the reinforcement at the front of the shelves as they had the precut holes I needed to reassemble it. I cut a small piece off the reinforcement to make room for the replacing front.
I drilled new holes for the reassembly and put everything back together.

Nicely done. What did you use to mount it to the wall?
ReplyDeleteGreat job! I wish I could put holes in our rental. This is the kind of shoe storage I've been looking for!
ReplyDeletewhat about having legs?
DeleteWhat a cute little shoe rack. The detailed instructions how to make this shelf impressed me. I'll have to give it a try sometime soon.
ReplyDeleteI used the mounting brackets that followed with Expedit.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea!
