What followed is this shelf that stays true in spirit to the original old design. Use your leftover scraps for this project and don't be intimidated by the drawer—it's a lot less complicated than it looks and once mastered, the techniques you use will come in handy for your other must-do projects. From the "I Can Do It" series. Shelf size: 18¼" H X 18¾" W. Shelf depth 9¼". Plan includes parts list, step-by-step instruction, and color photos.
