EASY Rustic Shelving

February 19, 2016 By Meegan 3 Comments

Welcome to What Meegan Makes today. I have a simple solution to an open space above a closet area-EASY Rustic Shelving.

We use our extra bedroom as an office/TV room/storage space, and yet, I want it to be inviting for visitors and guests.

It has taken me awhile to figure out what would work best in this space. It is: EASY Rustic Shelving.

Having a family of seven children and twenty four grand-babies, we have A LOT of pictures. We also enjoy sharing our family history with the grand-babies.

DIY Shelving Above Closets

I headed over to Lowe’s and browsed through shelving ideas. I did this several times. It took me a few trips to finally decide what I really wanted. My solution is: EASY Rustic Shelving.

Rustic Office Shelves

I bought a 2x6x12. I asked the worker to cut it exactly in half for me. So I came home with 2-2x6x6s and 6 white brackets. Perfect for my needs above my wall length closet.

Rustic Shelves

With simple white brackets I was able to rest my 2x6s as shelves. They definitely are sturdy and exactly what I was needing to fill this space.

I could have stained or painted the wood, but for now I like the plain pine. Who knows maybe at a later date I will want to paint or stain it. (I have been known to change my mid-very often.)

Rustic Office Shelving

I measured and used a level to make sure each shelf was straight and at the same height as the other.

    I’ve been into raw unpainted or stained wood lately too!
