I just wrapped up building a leaning ladder bathroom shelf for my master toilet. I followed plans by Ana White to construct the shelf. Follow along for project details!

Tools and Supplies
The following items are some of the tools and supplies I gathered to create the leaning ladder shelf. For a complete listing of what’s required check out Ana’s plans:
- Jigsaw (equiped with a Festool Scroll-Cut jigsaw blade)
- Brad Nailer
- Watco Danish Oil (Dark Walnut)
Building the Ladder Shelf
The bathroom shelf is a pretty easy build. I was able to complete the project over the course of two evenings. I had to run out and purchase a couple of 2x3s. The rest of the lumber came from my scrap pile.

Where are the measurements for this project. There are no plans that I can find on this message. Are you afraid someone is going to copy it.
Ana created the project plans for Ryobi Nation. You can view them here: https://www.ryobitools.com/nation/projects/leaning-bathroom-ladder-shelf
