Floating Shelves

I had a vision of floating shelves....

They said it couldn't be done. Floating shelves cannot hold books.

But they can and they do! A little brain power from my dad and Ronnie and we've got floating shelves that CAN hold books!!


My dad showed us how to build the first shelf and we did the second.
Ronnie is cutting the metal that holds the shelves up.

 Screwing the metal into the wall.

Measuring and building...

 Skip ahead a little and we've got shelves!

Materials: MDF board, metal, big screws, Particle board, wood filler, paint.

Price: 2 MDF boards $20
Wood filler $3
Big screws: already had
Particle board: Donated by dad
Metal: Donated by dad
Paint: already had
Total: $23!!

The second bedroom is sl...oooww..llyy.. coming along. But we're working on it bit by bit.

Hope everyone is having a beautiful spring Sunday...we sure are!!
