Got a bit of wasted space at the end of our hallway where a coat stand sits as a tribute to the leaning tower of Pisa. I want to replace that with some wall hooks, maybe an overhead shelf, and a floating bench beneath to store shoes under & that the little one can sit on whilst we put his shoes on.
Having only ever fitted premade shelves before, I don't know what I'm doing as I'll need to get the timber cut to the right size, and assume I'll need something to support it.
The space itself has three stud walls that I can fix it to. I guess what I need to know is, what timber is best to use - it can be stained/painted white. How do I ensure it's good enough to hold weight to sit on? What type of fixings are best?
