Just a few notes before you get started:  The legs must be placed close to each other in the center as shown in my photos below — otherwise, if you place them far apart on either end of the board, the shelf-wont-fit.   Also prior to towing, place a tea towel in between the gap of the shelf and the side of the upper cabinet.  This way it won’t sway from side to side.  During our trip to Idaho, one of my legs broke off.  I fixed it and placed the towel there on the way home and it worked well.  I think that if you don’t want to mess around with the towel business, you could just screw in four screws into each leg.

We have so much storage on our Airstream that this shelf under the mirror* was always empty because we just haven’t had the need to use it.  When I did put things there – it was an eye sore. Ugly medicine bottles just glaring at you whenever you’d come into the bathroom.

Then one day I thought how cool would it be to put some artificial green grass in there so it looked like a nice little row of green grass.  Plus greenery always brightens up a room, so why not in here?  So finally yesterday I made my way to our local craftstore and low and behold, they had exactly what I was looking for!
