Not Your Average Wood Shelves Inspired by all of the amazing character and charm of her farmhouse, First Home Dreamssimply used a bit of ingenuity and a cordless drill to create some lovely DIY bathroom shelves. By flipping the way the brackets were hung, she created a whole new vintage vibe for her shelving. Worn leather and reclaimed wood are, in my opinion, a match made in heaven! Our next DIY shelf from Design Sponge used two thrift store belts, two pieces of recycled wood, and a handful of nails to make this masculine, rustic shelving unit. Husband and wife team Subtle Takeover and Arrow & Apple built these breathtaking DIY honeycomb shelves to showcase some of their favorite items. Made out of fence planks and several drywall screws, I’m sure the carpenter’s rule of “Measure twice, cut once!” certainly applied here with all of those angles! Coastal Crates and Cubist Boxes We have all seen the basic crate shelves made from craft store crates (heck, I even made some for my house). However, Thrifty and Chic takes this idea to a whole new level by hand crafting her crates to custom sizes using recycled wood to perfectly fit the space. With a coat of white paint and some gorgeous styling, she created an elegant, coastal display wall in her dining room. Not only is this fully customizable, but you can change it any time you’d like thanks to the binder clips! Unfortunately, it looks like the Prant boxes are no longer available at Ikea, but any basic, thin wood boxes will do. You could even make your own! Lovely Ladder Shelves How adorable is this next project!? By creating new planks to rest on the rungs of an old ladder, which was updated with a bright coat of paint, A Beautiful Mess created a one-of-a-kind display shelf for her plants. Well, not to worry becauseLazy Liz on Less shows us how to make eye-catching leaning ladder shelves from scratch. Inspired by plan from Ana White, these shelves add a sleek, simple, (dare I say?) sexy look to any space. Re-Purposed Objects I love DIY projects that are super simple. How is this one for you? Step one: saw pallet in half. Step 2: put on wall. BOOM! Done. Okay, so you have to do a bit more jury-rigging to get a third shelf out of a pallet and may want to add some stain, but you get my point. These stunningly rustic pallet shelves by I Love You More Than Carrots are an easy way to create a focal point for showing off your favorite items and photos. (Insert obligatory branch project here. After all, this is a post by Erika.) True to form, I have featured shelving unit made of birch branches. This amazing shelf, designed by Koko Architecture + Design and featured on International Design Awards, isn’t a DIY project per se, but I think it can serve as great inspiration for one! Upgrade existing shelves (or use some lumber or reclaimed wood to make some) by adding a few natural birch branches in between for support and woodsy character. Created with several wooden trellises cut to the size of the window opening and hung from cord at different levels, this shelf is a plant’s dream, as it can soak up all of the sunshine pouring through your windows! It is also a human’s dream because it is easy to make (lattice would work and is very inexpensive), looks awesome, and helps bring some green indoors.
