Farmhouse Flair Diy Wood Storage Shelf How To
Hi again! I’m Shayna from The Wood Grain Cottage and I’m so happy to be sharing another project with you!
My husband, Anthony, and I have been busy working on our home office. It’s been in the disaster stage for far too long now, and I’ve been focusing my time and attention on getting it whipped back into shape. We desperately need it to start functioning again…
First on my list, was organization! So today I’m sharing my DIY office shelving….
Here’s how we made them…
First, I bought two 2″ x 10″ x 8 ft boards. We cut them in half and I decided to use three of them…
I sanded down the rough edges…
Wiped them clean and stained them all with Dark Walnut by Minwax…
Once the stain was dry, I used the wax paste to finish the wood…
It’s fabulous for filling in all of those little holes the stain has a hard time sinking into…
Once I buffed the wax smooth, the shelves were ready to be installed. Anthony started by locating the studs in the wall…
Then, he used the level, made sure it was straight, and drew a line on the wall…
Then he started installing the brackets…
He used the level as he installed them to make sure they were straight…
Then we made sure the shelf was evenly spaced and screwed it on…
From the board, he measured up 13″ for the next bracket and made a few new marks to keep his place…
Once we had the second one in place, Anthony added the third and final shelf…
And just as soon as he moved his tools, I got busy putting them to good use!
I haven’t cleaned out the craft closet yet, I might get buried beneath the pile when I do, but I grabbed a few of the things that have been laying around aimlessly…
And I’m totally loving the brackets and the walnut stain… yummy!
They fit perfectly with everything else I have and plan to do…
Things are lookin’ up!
And just in case you’re looking for a few more office organization projects, here you go!
