DIY Bathtub Shelf Made Easy


Hello. I love Mondays. I always feel invigorated from the weekend and ready to tackle new projects. I started my week off with this super simple DIY Bathtub Shelf. This is a quick project, as in less than 20 minutes to make. That easy.

I had a couple 1x6's in my garage from my sign projects here and here. What better way to use up some left over lumber, than a simple shelf. I started by cutting one of the 1x6's in half, so each piece was 36 inches. When I measured across my tub, it was 35". Rather than make 2 cuts, I just added an inch. Next I cut my support pieces at 10"each.

I pre drilled by holes, so the wood wouldn't split. Seems to make sense to me.

Next I set to work staining. I like the tone of Minwax Dark Walnut. Such a nice deep and rich brown. I love how it brings warmth to any room.

That's it. I let it dry for 2 hours, and it was ready to use.


All ready for a soak tonight.


Lights are ready to be lit.


Where's the glass of wine?


Hope you loved my DIY Bathtub Shelf as much as I do. Enjoy the rest of your day.
