It's not secret that I love a free scrap.
Recently I gathered up some scraps to create this barnwood shelf. (I also have a thing for open shelving)
It's so simple to piece together something like this for your own home.
Here's how I did it...
I've had this piece of wood for a long time. I guess it's a tiny door (?)
I whitewashed it with some diluted white paint.
Added these. I call them "D" hooks. You can too.
Cheapo black metal brackets from the hardware store.
Do I really need to keep explaining this?
Here's the "sort of" before. There was a burlap cork board on the wall. But, I'm too hyper to take an accurate "before" photo.
After.









Your salvaged shelf looks great, Denise. I love the blue cabinet in the photo too.
ReplyDeletethanks Elizabeth, it was so fun to make!
DeleteOh snap! I saw some cheapo plant hangers at the Dollar General in the mark-down baskets...so they were SUPER CHEAPO! They had hooks for hanging a plant...but could have easily been "Cheapo black metal brackets"...I'm heading back there tomorrow and will see if they're still in the marked down pile!
ReplyDeleteI love this and that cute little door!

Denise I just love your salvaged shelving! I am such a shelving freak...hey, seriously, who doesn't love more surface space to decorate? But I did have to do a double take on your wall color and molding in this space...it looks looks exactly like my living room!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend Denise!

thanks Barbara. I think the wall color is ethiopia from Behr and the trim Swiss Coffee. Are they the same as your living room? how funny!
