DIY projects are definitely not something I am well versed in. This I can say with absolute confidence.
But the more I see handmade crafts and items on the internet — whether they are genius upcycled windows or whimsically themed wooden gates — the more I want to try my hand at these projects.
And recently, I've found something that I would love to emulate at home: a storage system that anyone would be thrilled to have — and it was all built entirely by hand!
Imgur user stephbr was in desperate need of extra storage space, so her boyfriend decided to fashion something so simple, yet so extremely creative for her.
The best part? He only used a few wooden boards and easy power tools. I definitely know what my first and most exciting DIY endeavor will be!

Imgur user stephbr was using up a little too much of her boyfriend's closet space, so he decided to build her something fantastic...
He set out to design open shelving that utilized four simple ladders.
He started out by making all the ladders himself. Each one was eight feet tall.
Next, he screwed individual 1'x4'x16.5' planks at the top of the ladders. In addition, he screwed the 16.5' rungs in the center.
The assembly of the complete shelves included extra boards, metal rods, and wooden dowels.
Only the very top and bottom boards were permanently screwed in, for fear of cracking.
The dowels were placed for clothes hangers, and the rod for jewelry. An eight-foot-long board was used for the bottommost shelf, and cut boards ranging from 16.26 to 51.5 inches were placed as shelf planks.
They ended up with a wonderfully crafted, perfectly unique-looking shelves for the bedroom!
