It’s easy to create this handy shelving unit using some plywood and a little bit of Resene know how.
Weekend DIY with Mark Rayner – Project 87
Difficulty level: Moderate
To get the look: Mark painted the background wall with Resene SpaceCote Flat tinted to Resene Duck Egg Blue.
Other ideas: For a soft grey effect paint the shelving unit with Resene Lustacryl tinted to Resene Silver Chalice.
Step one
Measure, mark and cut the plywood to the dimensions listed above.

Assemble the 585mm x 80mm pieces of plywood to form the sides and shelves, as shown. Fix together with PVA glue and 45mm screws, drilling pilot holes first.

Attach the 585mm x 623mm piece of plywood into position to form the back of the shelving unit, as shown. Again, fix with PVA glue and 45mm screws, drilling pilot holes first.
Step four
Fill any holes and imperfections with wood filler and allow to dry.
Step five
Sand the filled areas and smooth any rough edges with sandpaper and then wipe off any sanding residue with a clean cloth.

Apply one coat of Resene Quick Dry to the shelving unit and allow to dry.

Apply one coat of Lustacryl tinted to Resene Artemis to the shelving unit and allow to dry.
