Nesting Box Storage Plans
Indoor Plans January 19, 2013 WoodworkCity 0

Most modern house designs call for a “mud room” or entry hallway that often includes a boot bench, some locker style storage, or a cubby for random items. The following is a simple plan from Cottage Life Magazine that lays out a simple way to build an attractive set of cubbies (cubby’s?? spelling?). These are a great item and are inexpensive to build. Pick the right paint and distress the finish a bit and you will have a piece that looks like it was built 50 years ago.
This plan is essentially a shelf with some vertical dividers along with front piece that makes it function much better than a shelf. The simple triangle detail holds the items in place and gives a look that fits in an entry mudroom, garage, or even a laundry room.
You can see by the cut list below that there isn’t a great deal to it. Click the picture for the full plans.
Good luck building your own.
