Bathroom Storage Cart

This little bathroom cart is the perfect solution to any area that needs a little extra storage. The stainless steel accents add a modern twist to the overall design.

Storage needs in a bathroom are pretty minimal — a few toiletries, towels, and a handful of rolls of coveted toilet paper are the normal things to keep at hand. In a bathroom that features a pedestal sink, storage for these types of items is usually lacking. And it was that need for storage that led us to the storage cart you see here.

CLEAN, SIMPLE STORAGE. As you can see in the photo at right, the cart features three shelves that pack in storage that’s easily accessible. A pair of stainless steel rods guard each shelf to keep the items in place if you roll the cart around. The top of the cart not only acts like a shelf as well, but it also features two small stainless steel rods that do double duty — they can serve as handles to move the cart, or the perfect place to fold up and hang a small hand towel.

The cart itself is small, compact, and perfectly sized to slip between a pedestal sink and the wall. But, don’t let its size fool you. It’s a fun build that packs in some great woodworking that you can take with you and apply to other projects. So, let’s head to the shop and get started.

The stainless steel rods are a good contrast to the walnut used on the cart. The rods on the top of the cart do double duty — they can serve as handles or a place to hang a towel. Notch and tenon joinery creates not only a strong, rack-free joint, but also one that looks great as well. The mortised-in casters allow you to roll the cart out to access the shelves.
