Lastly, I used my right angle attachment to drive the screw into a stud in the wall by Bree’s vanity mirror. I’m not sure how else to do this without a right angle attachment–that little gadget was a game changerr
Here is a final shot of the shelf with the terra cotta pots in it all nice and pretty. I know the shelf is a little closer to the shower than the vanity (not centered) but I was forced to mount the shelf this way because I had to mount it in a stud.
To go with Bree’s bathroom colors, I decided to paint the outside of the pots with a pretty blue/grey color I had on hand for another project–the color is called “French Colony” and I think it really tied the shelf organization shelf with the rest of the bathroom. Now Brianna has a cute little place to store her beauty essentials so that her vanity stays nice and clean, free of clutter. She can also easily remove the pots if need be.
