Before I left for college, I spent a lot of time prepping and buying furniture for my dorm. My roommate was a good friend of mine who had quite a few plants. I wanted to make a plant shelf for the both of us to share. One thing in particular that I was concerned about, was the hanging plants that we had. Since we were living in a dorm, we were not allowed to screw hooks into the celling to hang the plants. I became inspired to design and make a shelf that we could hang these plants from. I came up with a plan that allowed for two hanging plants, and also had three platforms to sit some regular standing plants.
This is my original sketch and planning of my plant shelf.
These are the planks of wood that I used. Here, they are shown right after I cut them all to the size I needed.
Here is the shelf after it is assembled. After this, I filled in the gaps with calk and then I painted it all black.
