DIY Fashionable Farmhouse Plate Rack
Step considered one of this assemble was to tear the edges of all of the 2x boards. This made the 2×12’s 11″ large and the 2×4’s 3″ large. This is not a vital step nonetheless within the occasion you choose to not rip your edges, alter your plans accordingly.
Strive our video to study the way in which we rip the spherical edges off of our boards HERE!
The idea behind the design of this piece was to offer the look that, 3 separate, basic ladders are holding cupboards on the rungs. So, let’s begin with developing the ladders!
We cut back the “ladder rail” objects to dimension. Then, we marked for each hole and drilled 1″ holes, with a 1″ forstner bit down each rail. Place a board under the rail to take care of from damaging your desk or floor. Check with the diagram for precise spacing.
Proper right here is one ladder rail with the holes drilled. Try this for all six ladder rails.
Subsequent, we cut back the rungs to dimension,
added considerably glue contained within the holes and slide a rung into each hole. Yow will uncover our favorite glue bottle dispenser HERE on Amazon!
As quickly because the rungs had been in a single ladder rail, we attached them to a distinct ladder rail, the an identical means. This will create a ladder. If the rungs are a good match, a mallet will are available in helpful! Yow will uncover the mallets we use HERE! Assemble three ladders.
We cut back the once more, cleat objects to dimension and used our Kreg Jig to drill 1 1/2″ pocket holes into the ends of each cleat. Yow will uncover our favorite Kreg Jig model HERE on Amazon!

We attached the cleats to the once more of each ladder, with 2 1/2 ” pocket hole screws and wood glue.
Start with one ladder after which join the next.
Proper right here is one side of the plate rack physique, assembled. Now it’s time to attach the other side.
Now, all three ladders have to be attached. Check with the free plans for the exact spacing of the cleats.
We cut back the best, assist piece to dimension and attached it to the once more, side of the doorway of the ladders. We used 2 1/2″ wood screws and wood glue to attach. The best of the assistance board have to be flush with the best of the ladders.
Now could be an efficient time in order so as to add a finish and produce the plate rack physique inside to attach it to the wall. We gave ours two coats of gray spray paint. Yow will uncover the spray paint we used HERE!
To make this plate rack as protected as doable, I attached all of the piece to the studs behind the wall.

Nonetheless, I noticed one minor scenario when bringing the plate rack inside. My base trim stands proud from the wall about 3/4″. Subsequently, the plate rack could not be flush with the wall, to protected it appropriately.
To compensate for the underside trim, I used 3/4″ scrap shims. I positioned one shim behind the plate rack cleats at every stud behind the wall. To protected the shim, I used wood glue (on the cleat side) and a few 2″ finish nails. Hammer and nails would work proper right here too.
As quickly because the shims had been attached, I drilled 3 1/2″ wood screws from the cleats, into the shims and into the studs behind the wall. I made constructive to hit as many studs, per cleat, as doable.
With the physique hooked as much as the wall, it was time to herald the cupboards!
I started with the underside shelf and continued my means up.
As quickly as all the cupboards had been in place, I measured to make sure that they had been all spaced evenly. Then, I added a 2″ wood screw from the underside of each rung and into the cupboards. On the underside shelf, I drilled from the best of the shelf and into the rung.
I loaded it with plates and pretty points and known as it a day!
Practically 8′ x 8′ of storage that moreover serves as large wall decor for about $100! Can’t beat that! It appears to be like like the correct combination of sort and efficiency!
