Our bathroom remodel might be one of the biggest transformations in our previous house (other than our kitchen of course). It was packed full of DIY projects, and I was honestly surprised how much I loved it when we it was complete. When we started this remodel, we were literally doing it because we knew we were putting our house on the market. It was a room I always wanted to do, but selling our house sure gave me a shove to get it done. Ultimately I was just going as fast as I could to get this space show room ready, but I was more than happy with the results!
The MOST asked question I get is about my bathroom shelves, and today is the day I’m finally going to share those with you! I have a feeling you’ll be pretty shocked at how easily they are to make, though I won’t lie… industrial pipe projects can get a little pricey, but the smaller projects aren’t too bad.

How to Build DIY Industrial Pipe Shelves
I used the black steel metal pipes, which if not painted and sealed, will rust over time. I was ok with this, but if you don’t want yours to rust you can prime it and paint with a Rustoleum Paint.
These shelves are petty heavy so you will want to make sure they are properly secured to the wall. Once you have determined where the shelves will be located focus on where the metal flange will be, then mark inside each of the screw holes with a pencil. Making sure you are level (which is extremely important with these shelves), insert your drywall anchors into your markings and hang the flange. The flanges do not come with screws so make sure your screw head is large enough for the holes provided. Repeat for the 2nd flange.
Once the flanges have been attached, you just screw on the metal pipes.
Next attach the pipe caps to the end of the metal pipes.
Now all that’s left is to put your 2×10 shelf on top of the metal pipes.
You can paint or stain your wood shelf any color you want. I followed this tutorial for these shelves in order to give them a farmhouse distressed look, and to match my framed mirror.
Now comes the fun part – decorating!
If you so happen to be hanging your shelves in a bathroom as well, I have some tips on accessorizing bathrooms on a budget you might find helpful.

I was wondering why you listed the black hammered spray paint (I was thinking this was to spray lightly on the wood to give it that burnt look). I was also wondering how the drywall hooks held up since the 2X10 and the metal fixtures are pretty heavy. I’m afraid the drywall hooks – screws will loosen over time. The space to hang them does not have any studs.
