Living Room Makeover | Floating Shelves |

Hi, y’all! Happy New Year!!! I don’t even know where to start, I’m so excited for 2018! There are so many exciting and fun things that I want to share with you guys, but today I’m sticking with one — our living room shelves. You may recall that I built some desks a couple of years ago for our living room since my husband was working from home at the time. Then we added some shiplap to the wall to give it an accent. The past few weeks, we’ve been talking about lining the desks up along the shiplap wall instead of having them stick out into the room, not to mention we’ve added a new rug and some new bar chairs to the desks. Oh, and I brought the coffee table back in since we had some extra room. BUT all that is for another post!

Today, I want to share these awesome open shelves we put up with you! I’m hoping to add some sconces as the final touch and, of course, the wood still needs to be stained, but me and the hubby both love how they turned out! They’re the perfect mix of industrial and farmhouse for this living room. They were also a quick and painless DIY! I found the brackets on Etsy from a fellow shop owner — Csonka Custom Rustics. Chris makes brackets in all sizes, so if you’re interested in these, head over to check out his shop here! We went with a 7 1/4″ depth wood (technically a 2″ x 8″ if you buy these at the lumber yard or hardware store) so the shelves weren’t too bulky. The brackets come with holes pre-drilled, so all we had to do was cut down our wood to the desired length, mount the brackets and set the wood inside. That’s my kind of project!
