Resting framed photos or art against a wall creates a casual, relaxed feel. Plus, there’s no hole commitment threatening to last for years. Shelving options abound, or simply use the top surface of a piece of furniture.
Directions for pictured shelf:
- purchase 3 boards at whatever length (shown is 2′) – back board 1/2″ thick & 3 1/2″ tall, ledge board 3/4″ x 2 1/2″, front lip board 3/8″ x 1 1/2″
- using nails or brads & wood glue connect the back board flush with the ledge board’s top surface, let dry
- attach front lip to ledge facing, raising the lip piece 1/4″ up to be used as a “stop” for display items
- sink front nail holes & fill with wood filler
- prime & paint shelves
- secure directly onto wall through back piece & into studs
