A New Shelf Above Our Couch
I sense like I make the most adjustments to our home within the Fall....It may want to clearly be Spring that I make the maximum modifications but I'm not about to move studies that :) But I do realize that as quickly as fall techniques I get an urge to make some changes round our home. I'm kinda looking to paint some walls. Not positive what partitions or in what room, however the urge is there. But earlier than I go make any drastic adjustments I concept I'd begin the season off simple and alternate up this wall in our residing room.
By the way, does every person else get those urges to change up your property as soon as a new season rolls round? I'm positive you do, your in all likelihood questioning up something at this moment. Am I proper?
Anyway, so I took down my dollar store frame gallery wall that I had hanging here previously and I hung up a simple wood shelf in its place.
I ordered some beautiful raw steel brackets off of Amazon and then I purchased an 8 foot pine board at a local lumber store and had them cut the board to be 6 feet long. And then with the board and brackets built this awesome new shelf.
When I offered the pine board I additionally picked up some walnut stain, however when I got domestic I modified my thoughts about the stain. This pine become manner too pretty to cover up with stain and so I gave it a few coats of a sealer as a substitute.
Next all I did turned into drill the new metallic brackets onto the board after which hung it up on the wall.
I did make sure to find my studs first and I additionally deliberate out wherein to region the brackets on the board in order that all of it lined up with the studs.
I then used a level to make sure that the shelf was on straight.
It was such an smooth-peasy assignment however it makes a truely big difference to the room.
A long shelf like this is such a great idea for above a couch. Not only does it fill up the wall nicely, but I'm also thinking about how much fun it will be to decorate for all of the changing seasons and holidays.
I just grabbed some random matters to attempt out on the shelf but I ended up liking what I delivered.
A plant, a massive elk antler, and two yardsale purchased pix. My show has a country appearance to it which is fitting for fall.
These brackets though are what make this shelf so awesome. I love how they wrap around the board.
You can see more of the bracketshere on Amazon.

I assume it is constantly amusing to switch things around in our domestic. You can also have observed that I switched up my couch slipcover once more and went back to the authentic Ikea white one. And then I'm simply definitely liking the freshness that this new shelf brings.
However, it probable wont be lengthy before I do begin painting walls. LOL
