I took my Annie Sloan Dark wax (which I use on EVERYTHING!) So the process I used to stain these, since I really wanted to keep them natural looking with a rustic warn look. Sorry a bit blurry, still trying to figure out what’s going on with my camera it’s been pretty funky from time to time. Of course I need my handyman hubby! I give all you ladies out there so much credit for building pieces on your own.īelow is the photo of the shelves up before I stained them. Add 45 degree angles to shelf support pieces.Īs long as you have all your measurments right and a level this project will be easy. Cut shelf wood to 48″ or longer or short depending on your space. I think she took a few more photos then I did…I am so bad at that, and this project came last on the to-do list during our project day, so by that point the hubby was half way done before I even realized he had started. So pretty much if you need some tutorial help you can check out both Keeping it Cozy and some of my photos for help. Which is totally okay DIYers…don’t be afraid to find a project from another blogger or artist. I thought of ways to modify to make it my own, but really I just loved them so much I knew they were what I wanted. So, though I would love to take credit for this one this was not my original idea. and they were perfect! I mean the perfect amount of rustic, clean lines, but still interesting and different. I was planning to just go with a corbel stand and a floating shelf above, but then I cam across this. So I was dreaming of adding floating shelves to tie back to the rustic dinging table and to have a place for my storage and decor. I’ve had a horse painting over it for a while, which I love, but just was not suiting the size and drama that the wall was calling for. So after finishing the last project in here, the painted buffet, I knew above the buffet had to change. The table may not be so straight, and the furniture styles are somewhat a little too eclectic for my liking, but it all some how works. It kind of has it’s own personality in this house and seems to be one that gets the most comments when people are over. Though this has happened and if I could do it all again I probably would change a lot about this room…I have to say I really do love this room. You know how that goes…when you really picture different furniture, or lightfixtures, or even wall colors, but you use what you have since you can’t run to the store everytime your heart falls for a new style or vision. The vision has been altered many times and it’s also one that has to adapt to using what we have. Also, no one read my blog at that time so it just seemed like a waste to keep posting projects since we were doing new projects every night.Īnyhow, so this room is one I can say really had no vision. Most of those projects were never documented on the blog since they were before I was really into this process and had no idea what I was doing. It pretty much stayed like that for a while until last year we decided to build a table and then little by little pieces of this room have taken place including the painted buffet that I contemplated painting for a while. First, adding the wallpaper, and then adding the DIY board and battan, and then painting the board and battan. This project all began when this Dining room of mine…just wouldn’t get finished! I mean two years ago we started this process of taking down the previous wallpaper and then adding new wallpaper to cover up the wall that didn’t take it too well when it’s 90’s paper had to come down.
