I haven't shared much of our playroom yet because it is still a work in progress, but one thing I couldn't wait to share is the easy peasy DIY wood shelves that C and I put up in the playroom.
The total cost for these bad boys was around $50 and that includes a can of stain that I bought.
My MIL had gotten me a gift card to Home Depot for mothers day, so I knew I wanted to use it to make shelves for the playroom. One day on my lunch break I went to Home Depot to see what kind of brackets they had, not expecting much. To my surprise they actually had a decent selection of good quality brackets for very reasonable prices!
I decided I wanted 3 shelves so I bought 6 of these black brackets. They were a little less than $5 a piece.
I then went and bought one 8 foot long board that was a little wide than my brackets, and had it cut into 3 equal sections. I also decided to go with a natural color stain just to seal the wood as I really liked the color of the wood itself.
Once I had them stained, we simply screwed the brackets into the wood and hung them up. They were so easy to hang and install and have made such a statement in our playroom!
The best part about these, is that they are totally customizable to the space you need them in. If you need them shorter or longer, all you have to do is buy different size wood! This is such a simple and great project to do if you're on a budget and need a change!
