Not a “ this is how I would do it” just a tip but you got it’ 🙂 If bracket board is 3/4” add drywall usually 5/8 but could be 1/2” so you need 1 1/2” just to get to the stud then u want an inch in the stud So 2 1/2” to 2 3/4” screws would be perfect If your bracket boards are 1/2” Use 2” screw hope that helps someone out 😊
Thank you for this! I'm about to close on my first house and all the shelving throughout the house (closets and pantry) have that awful wire shelving! It's easier than I thought it would be to do my own custom shelves. The stain is perfect, too :)
Thanks for posting this video....followed your directions and just finished the shelves in our pantry closet...looks great! Few lessons learned on my side....my walls were not square...had to cut the shelves longer in the front by 1". One side wall had no studs...had to use wall anchors. My pantry was fairly deep so I used pre-glued project boards...think I got them at Lowes. The dark shelves make the closet dark...looking at putting in some lights.....
Wow, that is awesome. I'm glad to hear that you learned some things, I'm always running into little issues on projects that I need to find work arounds!!
Our house came with that awful Rubbermaid wire shelving too. I already tore it out of our hall closet, and was looking for inspiration for our pantry. Thanks to you, I have what I need - thanks!
@@AngelaMarieMade the project hit an unexpected snag - my wife and I are unable to agree on stained boards vs white boards. So we are left with Rubbermaid wire until one of us concedes
This is awesome. I will be doing this in my linen closets. Thanks does this. You kept it super simple. Glad I found this. I am excited to try this. I’m not brave to do it myself but I will definitely be showing my husband this video lol.💖
Brad nailer's are a pretty straightforward tool but I understand if you are hesitant to use one. You could complete the project with screws instead if you have enough studs to drill into.
@@adammoore2868 no I haven't. I let the shelves sit in my garage for a day or so before installing. I also left the pantry door open and windows in the area open to air it out.
Did you have trouble nailing the top shelf or was there enough clearance? I was just measuring out my ideas for shelf gaps and realize that I might not have enough clearance for a smaller gap between shelves when I get towards the top. Maybe I can rearrange the smaller gap towards the middle to overcome.
We had plenty of clearance above our top shelf. I think you have the right idea with adjusting the middle measurements to make sure you have enough space at the top.
I plan on building one for my room for collectibles to go on, You seem to have small fingers and hands and boy look at you go lol, Awesome job dear looks great as it is, Mind sharing the cost of the build with us?? Thank You
Is the 1x2 front trim still face frame if it is mounted underneath? Surprisingly, I’ve been unable to find an undermounted trim under the front edge of any shelving project anywhere? Was this your own idea or can you share your source for this style of trim?
If you have a Lowe's or Home Depot near you that would be my first recommendation, but also a local lumber store might be a good place to look as well.
Hey I have a question... at about 6:19 you didn’t show how you attached the front 1x2’s... because of its awkward position I’m wondering how you screwed the front 1x2’s in?
I used a 1×12 @ 8ft for the shelves and a 1x2 to trim it out. I have the cut list and all the details on my blog: angelamariemade.com/diy-pantry-shelves/
Question. Would I be able to add the white trim to the top of the shelf vs the bottom (as you’ve done in your video) that way I can have a “lip” on the end of the shelf and it can somewhat stop stuff from falling over?
Also, I love you explain every single thing. It makes it easy to follow and I feel like it will inspire someone who isn’t comfortable with doing big wood projects. You’re amazing
Thank you so much!!! I'm so glad it's helpful and easy to follow! You can definitely do the white trim on the top for a "lip". That's a great idea! I would just do the nails from the underneath side instead. Also, if you want a shorter lip than a 1x2 (which is 1.5"), you could use square dowels which come in multiple sizes (like 3/4" or 1").
If you use the circular saw with a straight edge guide then it will be a perfect straight edge cut. You can use a miter saw too for a straight edge cut as long as the miter saw can cut the width of the board you need. For example, my 1x12 boards would have needed to be cut with a sliding miter saw in order to make a wide enough cut.
It's a decent idea, but I'm curious to see how this holds up over time. I feel like lag bolts would have been a significantly better choice than deck screws to bear the weight this will undoubtedly end up holding, especially the portions attached to the ceiling. It also seems like the amount of potential load being applied to the ceiling is more than what the engineering of these shelves will ultimately hold over time. I'm certainly not an engineer or expert on the matter, but it doesn't completely pass the eye test for me. 5:53
This makes no sense to me. If you had left the anchors in you could have simply used them to screw the new supports in. No you have multiple steps for no reason
Save yourself time, find the studs first, mark the so when the support wood goes up you can see the stud marks and put your screws in. No sense doing twice the work here
Not judging, but I think constantly trying to smile while talking (a uniquely American affect) detracts from one's clarity of speech. I call it SororitySpeak.
Update! At 4:51 I said to use 1 1/4" long screws into the studs, but it should be a screw at least 1 3/4" long or 2" long.
as soon as i heard you say the length, i knew you were wrong. good update!
Not a “ this is how I would do it” just a tip but you got it’ 🙂
If bracket board is 3/4” add drywall usually 5/8 but could be 1/2” so you need 1 1/2” just to get to the stud then u want an inch in the stud
So 2 1/2” to 2 3/4” screws would be perfect
If your bracket boards are 1/2”
Use 2” screw hope that helps someone out 😊
I have been searching high and low for this exact pantry solution! Thank you so much for this....
You're welcome, I'm glad this helped.
If you remove the pins first, the holes are much smaller. The pin expands drywall anchors.
I couldn’t get mine out, so I just yanked them out and repaired lol. I was going to be filling with compound anyway
What type of wood did you use for the shelves itself? I could not find the answer in your tutorial. Thank you so much for your wonderful tutorial!
Great job Angela! The only thing remains to be seen is your pantry re-stocked on your new shelves! Thank you for sharing!!
Thank you Susan!! Yes! I am working on that now and hope to share the final pantry reveal this week :)
Thank you for this! I'm about to close on my first house and all the shelving throughout the house (closets and pantry) have that awful wire shelving! It's easier than I thought it would be to do my own custom shelves. The stain is perfect, too :)
Thank you!!! I am so over wire shelving too😂😂
Thank you so much for this video. I made these shelves and my gf loves them. Gave our kitchen a great new look
That is awesome, I'm sure it made a huge difference in the space!! Thank you!
LOVE the stained wood and painted white trim combo! Very beautiful!
Thank you so much!
Beautiful, simple shelves.

I did this using your video and it turned out sooo good! Thank you!
That's so nice to hear, thank you very much!
That’s looks really good. Nice work.
Thank you!
Great tutorial. Great timing as I’m about to build pantry shelves.
Thank you! That's exciting to hear!!
Love it! Thank you for giving me the great idea to change a closet into a pantry!
Yesss, that's a great idea!!
Nice job thanks
Awesome so excited. I have never done anything like this
So great to hear, thank you!
Looks great Angela!!

Wire shelving is the worst. This was so well done and thought out, I had to question if I was still on youtube.
I agree 100% about the wire shelving, thank you!
Great job!
Thank you!
Great guide! Thank you
That looks amazing 😍
Thank you!
Beautiful. Ty for sharing.
thank you, i really appreciate it!
This is perfect! Thanks for the tips!
Glad you like it, thank you!
Very nice job 👍
Thank you!
Great job it looks awesome!
Thank you!
Angela I'm getting ready to do this. I want to suprise my husband while he's in quarantine 😂 Unfortunately I don't know anything about a Brad nailer 😫
Brad nailer's are a pretty straightforward tool but I understand if you are hesitant to use one. You could complete the project with screws instead if you have enough studs to drill into.
Well done. Thanks
Thanks for watching!
Looks nice!
Thank you!
How much weight will support each shelves ?
I love it!!!
thanks :)
Thanks great video
You're welcome, I am glad you enjoyed it!!
Very nice ❤️
Thanks!
Good idea young lady. I really like the way those shelves look. Good combination of paint and stain looks nice.
Thank you, much appreciated!
What is the purpose of the front trom panel, for looks or added support?
Exactly and it helps hide the underneath of the shelves!
Love this so much; thank you!! 1:51
Thank you!!
Great video. What type of stain and polyurethane was used? Semi gloss or satin?
Thanks! I used Minwax provincial and Minwax fast drying poly
@@AngelaMarieMade thanks for the response! Do you know if the poly was semi gloss or satin?
@@KevinKelani Sure! I used satin.
Have you had any problems with the stain smell lingering since it's in an enclosed space?
@@adammoore2868 no I haven't. I let the shelves sit in my garage for a day or so before installing. I also left the pantry door open and windows in the area open to air it out.

We had plenty of clearance above our top shelf. I think you have the right idea with adjusting the middle measurements to make sure you have enough space at the top.
Major visual upgrade but ever wish you could still see through the wires? Was thinking you’d lose ability to see the back of lower and higher shelves.
I haven't! The shelves aren't deep so it's easy for me to still see!
What happened to the follow-up video on organizing it?
You can find it here: th-cam.com/video/Fi6JETLikR4/w-d-xo.html

Thank you very much. The total cost of the materials was around $50.

Where can I find some pre-painted or stained boards?
If you have a Lowe's or Home Depot near you that would be my first recommendation, but also a local lumber store might be a good place to look as well.
If you attach the front trim to the other strips it would give more support. Then add the shelf.
Thanks for the tip!
Hey I have a question... at about 6:19 you didn’t show how you attached the front 1x2’s... because of its awkward position I’m wondering how you screwed the front 1x2’s in?
We secured them with brad nails from the top of the shelf.
Is there a whole white board under the entire wood board? Or it just a frame in the front similar to the support frames on the wall?
It's framed out like the supports on the wall
1x12 board what kind of wood? MDF, plywood?
Knotty pine wood
What shade of stain is that?
Provincial by Minwax
Hi Angela!! Can you link the product or name the lowes product for the wood you were using? I am doing a pantry and would love to know.
I have a full material list and links on my blog:
angelamariemade.com/diy-pantry-shelves/
1-1/4" screws seem a little short do they not? that leaves only 1/4" of the screw going into the drywall and likely not into the stud at all
Thanks for catching that! I said that wrong, and the screws should be at least 1 3/4" or 2"
What wood did you use for the shelves? And what thickness?
I used a 1×12 @ 8ft for the shelves and a 1x2 to trim it out. I have the cut list and all the details on my blog: angelamariemade.com/diy-pantry-shelves/
love this! i have to try it. Are the trim boards optional or necessary?
Thank you so much! The trim boards are totally optional.
Question. Would I be able to add the white trim to the top of the shelf vs the bottom (as you’ve done in your video) that way I can have a “lip” on the end of the shelf and it can somewhat stop stuff from falling over?
Also, I love you explain every single thing. It makes it easy to follow and I feel like it will inspire someone who isn’t comfortable with doing big wood projects. You’re amazing

I would just do the nails from the underneath side instead. Also, if you want a shorter lip than a 1x2 (which is 1.5"), you could use square dowels which come in multiple sizes (like 3/4" or 1").
I don’t think I have studs to do this project. Can I just do it on dry wall. Please suggest.
I think you could do it using wall anchors or toggle bolts as long as it meets the weight requirements.
What type of wood did you use for the actual shelf you stained? I dont see that listed anywhere.
I used pine wood for the 1 x 12 shelves.
Is the front edge decorative or can I leave it off?
You can leave it off.
Does Lowe’s actually sell pantry boards or did you cut down some other wood? Thx for the vid!
They do not that I know of, we used 1 x 12's and cut them to size. Thank you!
I missed the comment you listed supplies and directions.
They are linked above in the description box (under the drop down arrow). Also, you can see them here: angelamariemade.com/diy-pantry-shelves/
What type of wood did you use for the 1x12's? Poplar? Pine?
1x12 pine from the home improvement store
Is using a circular saw will give me a straight edge or should I use a miter saw?
If you use the circular saw with a straight edge guide then it will be a perfect straight edge cut. You can use a miter saw too for a straight edge cut as long as the miter saw can cut the width of the board you need. For example, my 1x12 boards would have needed to be cut with a sliding miter saw in order to make a wide enough cut.

what was the name of the stain color you used for the shelves
Provincial
What sandpaper grit did you sand shelves with?
I sanded with 80, 120 & 220 and that is basically our process for any piece that we are staining or painting.
What was the thickness of the shelving
3/4"
What type/size board did you use for shelves?
I have a full material list on my blog post here: angelamariemade.com/diy-pantry-shelves/
What kind of wood did you use?
Pine
Curious what the width of your door is...
18" wide
What kind of wood are you using and what thickness
Pine wood that is 3/4" thick
@@AngelaMarieMade Thank you
Can you say what type of nails you used?
I have the full material list here: angelamariemade.com/diy-pantry-shelves/
lol, your pantry was pretty tidy to start with. nice job tho.
Hello! What kind of nails and screws did you use?
I used 1 1/4" brad nails (18 gauge) and 1 1/4" drywall screws
I don’t understand how you’re attaching the boards to the wall
I attached 1x2's to the wall studs, you can see a more detailed tutorial on my blog here: angelamariemade.com/diy-pantry-shelves/
It's a decent idea, but I'm curious to see how this holds up over time. I feel like lag bolts would have been a significantly better choice than deck screws to bear the weight this will undoubtedly end up holding, especially the portions attached to the ceiling.

I'm certainly not an engineer or expert on the matter, but it doesn't completely pass the eye test for me. 5:53
It has been holding up great and is very sturdy. There isn't anything attached to the ceiling...
99% of closets have the same or less support for a much longer shelf. It is more than enough support. You could easily sit on these shelves.
This makes no sense to me. If you had left the anchors in you could have simply used them to screw the new supports in. No you have multiple steps for no reason
It looks like she wanted them in the studs instead of the drywall, which would probably be a little more secure than having drywall anchors.

Not judging, but I think constantly trying to smile while talking (a uniquely American affect) detracts from one's clarity of speech. I call it SororitySpeak.
why do you talk like that?
There was nothing wrong with your pantry. Your organisational skills need to be honed though ☺
Quick easy access to many projects with Stodoys plans.
Well done. I really like the way it looks.
Thank you very much!
What type of wood did you use?
I used pine.
