    Reclaimed Wood Floating Shelves

    By Stacy 120 Comments

    I have been so excited to share this tutorial with you. Out of all the elements in my new office I have received the most emails about these shelves.

    When you have a small space the smartest thing you can do is go vertical. I was NOT taking advantage of the wall space in the way my office was done before.  I knew I wanted shelving but I did not want a giant wall of built in shelves because I thought it would feel too heavy and would make the space seem smaller. I love the openness of these floating shelves!

    I have mentioned in the past that I think that a small budget forces you to be creative. That was definitely the case with these shelves. My original design called for new wood that would have been painted cream to match the cabinets below.  But when all was said and done the budget didn't allow for that. I have a large pile of old fence pickets in the backyard I got for another project so I used some of those. Free was definitely in my budget. I am happier with these shelves than I would have been if I had bought new wood :)

     

     

     

     

    Remember when I revealed my office and I said that my shelves had a secret????

     

    Eeeeek! They are also drawers!!!!!! I love it :) When I was brainstorming for ways to add much needed storage to this space I thought, why not this? Granted the drawers are only 2 inches deep, but they are perfect for paper! Anything else would probably be too heavy anyway. Right now they are filling up fast with my kids artwork and school work that I will one day put into scrapbooks, and with things I am too lazy to file away.

     

    Alright, on to the tutorial!!!

    Supplies needed:

    (affiliate links)

    *Reclaimed wood (I used old fence slats)

    *Miter Saw

    *Wood Glue

    * Brad Nailer

    *Level

    *1x2 and 2x3 boards

    *Plywood

    *Wood Screws

     

    I decided how long I wanted the shelves to be and then measured and cut the wood pickets to that length. There would be 6 shelves total and it took 4 boards for the top and 4 boards for the bottom so I cut (48) 30 inch boards. Then I cut 12 boards for the sides. After I did that I needed to cut the enda at an angle (mitered cut). I used the miter saw and cut at a 45 degree angle. I swear I had my husband take a picture of me cutting at an angle but I couldn't find it in my computer file. Sorry about that. If you look closely to the picture you can see the angled ends.

    For the side pieces, the long side needed to be cut at an angle, not the end. I sent my hubby to the neighbors to use their table saw while I was doing the other cuts. (Dear Santa, I need a table saw.....) You can see the smaller side pieces in the picture too.

     

    When I talked about building the bench that is on my office, I mentioned that picking out smooth, straight wood was critical to building  furniture. Well, new fence pickets are not straight and smooth let alone OLD ones. So I broke that rule. And it made it a little more challenging when it came time to construct. But the end result was totally worth it!

    It was kind of like putting a puzzle together. I placed different pieces together and saw what worked the best. Sometimes I had to flip one over or switch it out.

     

    Yes, I am doing this project on my 3 foot by 3 foot porch right outside my kitchen. (Dear Santa, I need a woodshop..........)

     

    Then I glued and nailed the pieces together.

    What you will have when you get done with that step is a long rectangular tube. You will have sides and a top and bottom. The next step is to mount some boards to your wall.

     

    These boards will be the way  you attach the shelves to the wall. I used 2x3 boards. I measured where I wanted them to be, marked it with pencil, and then I used my level to draw straight line. I drilled a pilot hole ( a hole drilled through the board that is smaller around than the screw) through the 2x3 before screwing them to the wall. I used 5 inch screws.Make sure they are level.

    I have lath and plaster walls since my house was built in 1949, but if you have a newer home make sure you look for studs.

     

    Then you will take the shelf and slide it onto the 2x3 board. Usually when I build floating shelves with new wood they are a perfect fit and are nice and snug. But these old boards were a different story. Some were too snug, some were a little loose, and some were way, way loose. Some boards bowed up and some bowed down. I just rolled with it. I cut strips of thin plywood and shoved them under the 2x3. You can see it where the red arrow is in the picture. Then when it was some what snug, I screwed screws through the top of the shelf down into the 2x3. I did about 5 screws across the top and then one screw in each side.

     

    As far as the drawer construction went, I waited until the shelf was built so I could get an accurate measurement. I used thin plywood for the bottom and 1x2 for the sides. I just nailed them together (with a little glue).

    They are very basic. No fancy sliding hardware to make them glide in and out. But they work well and I think it adds to the rustic-ness (yes spellcheck, that is a word!).

    Thanks for letting me share this with you! As always, if you have any questions just email me :)

      Hi Stacy! I know I'm dropping by writing on all your older posts, sorry :| :) But I love these shelves!! I actually have been hunting everywhere lately for floating shelves because I don't have time to make them at the moment. It turns out that most store-bought floating shelves are pretty crappy! (that is, made of MDF and prone to breaking easily, or the brackets v. hard to affix to the wall). So it made me think when I saw this post - you could totally sell shelves like these! You should have an etsy shop for such things (if you have time - haha) :) I looked on etsy for floating shelves in my searching, and would have loved to buy there (don't have the $100+ to put towards it, but if I wasn't a grad student!) but none of those have a built-in drawer, which is such a neat feature! :)

      I must give these a try. I noticed that the ends are mitred- I assume that those cuts require a table saw (sigh! to have a table saw) or did you use a sliding compound mitre saw?

      thank you for the inspiration!

      Just found your site and I am so impressed! I love it when I find women who build themselves. I've built a few things and love these floating shelves, the rustic wood mixed with the modern design and the thickness. Very cool. I've built basic white floating shelves with a 1x2 frame attaching to the wall then the cover sliding over the top. Drawers are an awesome idea!

      Not knowing any other moms like me, I am glad I have discovered some in the blog world. I too, am an avid woodworker. Unlike you, I didn't start when I was a kid though. I started cause my husband has no interest in it and because we didn't have the money to hire it out. I agree, it's much better than just being able to buy everything new. I am pregnant with my 10th kid and I also lust after a table saw and dream of wood shop. I don't really like using the table saw but they are certainly useful. My favorite saw is a miter saw. The first saw I bought myself (that wasn't one of my brother-in-laws cast-offs) was a jigsaw. I chose a barrel grip one that I bought online because the handle is closer to your work (better control?). I did not know this meant giving up a variable speed trigger! So mine is either on, or off. Oh well. When you buy a table saw, mention what kind you went with and whether you like it.
      You do beautiful work. The shelves are beautiful. I am looking forward to browsing the rest of your blog (as I just stumbled across it today) and bookmarking it for the future. You welcomed questions. I have two. So you put the "2" side of the board against the wall when you mounted the 2x3 cleat? And also, how did Better Homes and Gardens become aware of you (and Reader's Digest, etc) in order to contact you?

      I stumbled across this project as I was wandering through the Ana White blog. This little shelf is going to go with a jewelry chest I am making. I think above the chest, I'll put one of these "secret" drawers just below the mirror. I can put trays out on top, and put my most expensive and treasured pieces in this drawer. Then it will be hidden for "just in case." Thanks so much for the tutorial!

      I loved how you said that you should utilize the vertical space of your apartment if you do not have a lot of room. My wife and I just moved into our first apartment and we have had no space to put our books and movie collection. We may have to look into ordering some materials that can help us install hidden shelves on our wall.
