DIY bath caddy using timber benchtop offcuts

homeinmelbourne

We had some leftover timber we used for our laundry benchtop and decided to use the offcuts to make a bathtub caddy.

We measured the exterior bathtub width for the width of the caddy plank and then measured the inner edge for the feet of the caddy.

We cut the timber to the measurements we needed and then went over the edges with a router to round off all the edges.

We then sanded the timber and applied one coat of Timber Protect Satin Clear Water Based Varnish. In between coats, we lightly sanded the caddy and caddy feet then applied one more coat of the varnish.

Yet another fantastic project, @homeinmelbourne, thanks for sharing! 

There's so much to love here - the ingenious use of repurposed timber offcuts, impeccable woodwork and gorgeous styling. Well done on an elegant and functional piece. What was your favourite part of the project? Any tips or tricks for our members who may want to replicate this caddy for their own bathrooms?

I see you've shared a few other terrific bathroom projects, including a full renovation (I've actually featured this on top of our homepage discussion board) and a bathroom feature wall. I wouldn't be surprised if they make it to our list of Top 10 most popular bathroom projects - feel free to check this list out for more inspiring ideas and to engage in relevant discussions with our like-minded community members. 

 

Congratulations once again. I'll be looking forward to your next project.
