DIY Plywood Counter

this idea

Sharing how to make the DIY plywood counter I shared in my friend’s laundry closet makeover a couple weeks ago! I was looking for a simple affordable way to create a counter that she could fold laundry on – that was one of her requests. So I put together this easy one and I know I probably should have created a full frame underneath but I wanted it to be easy to remove and to move the washer and dryer in and out if necessary. I went with a dark stain because that’s what she preferred and I think it went well with the taupe wall tone.

MATERIALS:

• 1″ thick plywood
• 3″x1″ wood
• 2″x1″ wood
• miter saw
• jigsaw
• sand paper
• tape measure
• pencil
• wood conditioner
• stain
• sealant
• gloves
• staining pads
• level
• drill
• screws
• drywall anchors *if you can’t drill directly into a stud.
• scrap wood
