I . FELL . IN . LOVE
with Young House Love's floating shelves when I saw their dining room.
And shortly after, they debuted Ana's version of how to build them yourself.
You can read about that HERE!
The total was.......drumroll please.........
$28.00
We had some basic's such as paint, nails, and wood putty.
Of course, my handsome, hard-working husband was eager and excited to build them for me.
Here are a few pics of us in "building mode"

Our Helper!
Here is how the shelf brace and box looked completed
I used the design trick of putting tape up on the wall to mark the length and height of the shelves
Here is the before:
And.....
The Fabulous Afters!

Totally and Honestly In LOVE!
I am going to post about some of the special things on the shelves later.

Those look fantastic ... what a difference ... beautiful job.
L.O.V.E them! It is a good thing that we didn't hang the shelves in Adeline's room yet because I am thinking those shelves can go elsewhere and these shelves will be built for her room. Next time I see you, I want the full play by play please! And be thinking of a way to talk Tim into these for me ok ;)
