This remodel inspiration by room walkthrough stays in the order the work happens.
Happy Saturday! If you’re new around here, every Saturday we share a new Handmade video over on our YouTube channel (if you haven’t already, we’d love to have you subscribe to be the first to see our new content each week!) Today, we’re walking you through LIVE building a really direct, really versatile version of our popular rustic wall bins.
How to Build an straightforward Wooden Wall Bin

We built this wall bin from reclaimed pallet wood, and simplified it even more than the original to make it a quick and straightforward first-time build – no angled cuts, just straight cuts. You could easily build this yourself without ANY power tools — an inexpensive miter box and saw and a hammer and nails is all you really need. And on top of seeing how quick and straightforward it is to build this with just a hammer and nails, you get to see how our dynamic Bekob duo *really* works together
look at the original rustic wood wall bins here — I won’t lie, I’m still a little sad we left them behind when we moved. I love our new entryway organization, but the slim profile of the wall bins was so convenient for those little items — gloves and scarves and baby shoes since my girls were so little when we first built these!
This simplified version features all straight cuts, which makes the building even easier and actually makes the storage even more versatile — just around our house, we tried out these wood bins with plants in our kitchen window;
paint, glue, and supplies in the garage; and in the bathroom for towels, toilet paper, and toiletries like lotion and hairspray.
You can use a nicer grade of wood and stain it for a classy department store style (and wouldn’t these labels holders be fun to add!) or stick with a less expensive board and paint or stain it to match your decor. So versatile to fit wherever you need a bit of added storage space — in an entryway, kids room, craft room or office, even in a closet!
We’d love to hear where you’ll be using these wall bins — and let us know what else you’d love to see us build!
Don’t forget to look at the original plans for the angled wall bins, too!
